Must Have 3D Printer? A1 Mini: Review

In this video, I’ll share my personal experience using the A1 Mini 3D printer and provide valuable tips for beginners. From initial setup to selecting the right filament, I’ll cover the essential basics you need to know to get started. Whether you’re new to 3D printing or looking to refine your skills, this review will help you make the most of your A1 Mini and ensure you’re on the path to achieving great print results.

Absolutely right and spot on tips, well done. I was printing on a gifted Ender 3 S1 pro and got fed up really quickly having to setup the printer regularly by hand when quality started dropping. When looking into Bambu printers, I quickly realised that all my projects so far could fit into the 18x18x18 cm, even the larger objects consisting of multiple parts exceeding even the Ender 256x256 bed. I got the mini, cuz it's cool, it looks cool and it works like a charm. When I'm ready fro more then 1 printer, I'll get some more A1 (minis) instead of the more expensive ones. I dont need stinky filaments, becasue most of my work are eastetic objects, not construction parts or objects that sit outside.

I am new to 3D printing after buying an A1 mini just yesterday. I really appreciate your tips. These are going to be really useful for me. Thanks!

3:52 On the P1 and the X1 series, you can actually do the same thing with modifying them G-code by adding like 1 letter or number lol

Would you be able to provide more info or a guide on how to do this? Cheers!

A video by this guy leckiestein should help. The KZbin short is called, “This ERROR is slowing down your Bambu P1S 3D Printer! Fix it with THIS!”

Great review and some solid tips, nicely done. 🍻 I have three A1s and a mini and the mini is my favorite. Just an amazing little printer. I didn't have the AMS lite at first, but when I bought one of my A1s, I grabbed it as a combo and added the AMS lite to my mini. I wall mounted it to save the desk space and I'm glad I added it. It's been great to have four filaments ready to go.

I just picked up this printer after a horrendous experience with a Tronxy 3D printer off Amazon. I almost threw in the towel with 3D printing entirely, but then heard about the A1 mini. It is honestly a night and day difference. I've been printing so much stuff every day, it's a blast. Right now the app gives me more than enough to pick from. But eventually I want to get I to making my own prints. What is the 3D modeling software you're using? Can you recommend a few ?

Thanks for the Review im defnetly gonna get the A1 mini now!❤🎉

I wonder why no get a A1 and match the p1s bed

[@simoneala3]

@nuggetinclusive I like this videos, thanks, I’m trying to decide if I buy another p1s, as you know will be mostly the noise, so I’m thinking in the A1 to use the same bed, but know I’m thinking in the a1 mini thanks to your video, but why to choose the a1 mini over the a1?

[@NuggetsInclusive]

For me the price. can almost buy two a1 minis over a a1, which i would recomend. two a1 minis aspeed up prototyping by alot :) and really i dont need a bigger bed than 180mm most of the time. i do think both a great choice tho.

@@NuggetsInclusivethanks, I’m actually thinking to get a a1 mini now, can you make a favour and tell the height that I need to fit a a1mini, also how much space I will need if is possible to fit this , height , w and depth , many thanks

Hey buddy, Soooooo you are not lubricating that Y axis.. Y axis is the one under the cover and also why are you lubricating a self lubricating bearing on the X axis?

[@sofiasoderstrand3094]

Lol, you absolutely have to lubricate that part of the X-axis. If a bit more carefully than in the video but that looks like he's just doing it for editing/effect
