In reality, it's probably like 30 minutes to get in running if you want to achieve excellent printing results from the beginning. I also recently got an A1 mini (no combo). It's only really ready to print after calibration, which also takes a good 15 minutes (As you see in the video: 5 minutes for vibration compensation, 7 Minutes for motor noise cancellation). The printer itself is still f... awesome and quick to setup!

[bomartin]

i am waiting for mine to come in the mail, have watched your video over and over, thank you

[MeepMeep]

For those having trouble logging in because they keep asking for your ph# and pw.. Uninstall the app and redownload from the actual store not the QR code.

[snopz]

Getting one tomorrow, can't wait to unbox 😅

[nicholasmaoris]

I bought this for my 11 yr old he put it togather but what is the scraper for it came with 2 screws so I’m assuming it goes some where plus a lamp can’t figure where they go all so the film comes out but doesn’t make anything just a straight line nothing sticks to the plate any ideas what we are doing wrong thank you

[cae_nb]

really excited for my A1 Mini to arrive. the setup being this easy really rocks as someone who hasn't had a printer before

[AWBuilder]

My first prints using the included PLA filament came out perfect for the Benchy and then the scraper tool.

[aw]

They explicitly say " do not grab or press on the x-axis"

[jammiesgotarun]

WOW! I have an ender and it takes 15 minutes to get a print to work right and took like 3 hours to set up. I might be looking to upgrade. That bed looks kinda small though. What size it?

[MeepMeep]

5:10 for those following along, don't take that foam out just yet.

That way at 8:14 the bed doesn't slide when you flip the printer upside down. Might help.. Might not matter, but might be easier with less moving parts :)

[fastflicks]

I just have ordered A1 mini, I wonder if it has power (voltage) switch like on ender 3? because I'm in europe and I don't want to damage it. as far as I know it works on 110 and 220V too without any power switching.

[Legendary_UA]

Fantastic video. Followed it and I'm up and printing.
New subscriber.

Where i install the spool holder i have a big piece of plastic fixed to the apright? You seem to have two holes to screw the plate straight to?😢

[earlkubas]

Is this what is included for $199usd on the bambu site? Dobi need the combo kit or just this?

[SovietCaptain]

I will be ordering the A1 mini as my second 3d printer. I now have an Elegoo Neptune 3 pro running klipper

[stuartalexander]

Your lucky to get a reasonable tool kit. All I got was a cardboard box with 2 all metal hex keys, not the nice plastic handle type. The rest of the items were in a bag. UK delivery if that makes any difference. However no difficulty in getting perfect prints.

[snörre]

I was really surprised that yes, almost, definitely if you don't do it for the first time. And the WLAN thing is awesome. A couple of years (or decades) ago you would have spent weeks getting sth. that complex to work, install drivers and stuff.

[majkus]

Another video says that you have to lubricate? Was this step skipped?

[gabe]

Anyone use the sample filament for their first print? Every video shows an additional purchase of a spool
