Bambu Lab A1 Review: Game-Changer or Hype?

preview_player
Показать описание
Bambu Lab just released their new 3D printer, which (unfortunately) is another bed slinger. The A1 is a bigger version of the A1 Mini with the same build volume as the P1 and X1 printers. Yet, how good is it and how does it compare to the more expensive CoreXY machines?

*CORRECTION* Bambu Lab just told me that they had a mistake in their marketing material, and the bed can go up to 100°C!

Respect for mentioning the closed ecosystem and the closed source aspect. Most reviews of the A1 did not mention this.

I have an X1C and P1S, was really hoping for a larger core XY which I think will come soon. What BL is doing though is really shaking and shaping the 3D market.

The active motor noise cancelling is now a thing on the X1. And it makes a good amount of difference.

ive found that disabling the prime tower saves a ton on wasted filament.
the purging and pooping seems plenty to get great multicolor prints

Entry-level FDM printers that don’t suck have come so incredibly far in just a few years. I love Prusa machines (my only FDM printer rn is an i3 MK3s+), but I can’t recommend one to someone entering this hobby/field when Bambu’s offerings exist.

This format of review was great. I'm a somewhat experienced 3d printer and you got to the main points about living with it and choosing which to buy. Thanks

Already placed an order for the A1 combo, since I personally don't need a bigger printing volume and could use the AMS lite as auto-changing spools. Even all the not open-source things and non-common replacement parts are still my concerns but after over 7 years of fighting with different printers, I just want to have a new high-speed machine that simply works.

I love how polished this machine looks. This company keeps on impressing.

Own a A1 and owned older machines and for me its an absolute Game changer

This is definitely the printer I would have bought... If I hadn't already bought a P1S a few months ago, lol

Bambu Lab finally made 3D printing a supplement to other projects rather than the project itself

Thank you for your reviews. They really help me make my purchasing decisions. To answer your question at the end, I would like to see a Bambu Labs Core XY IDEX or Multi-Tool Printer w/ 300x300x300 mm or greater print bed. Also, kudos to Bambu Labs. The CEO stated he would introduce active motor noise cancelling to the X1 series when you interviewed him a few months ago and he did it quickly as it was released a few days ago.

I just ordered one today. I didn't want to buy an X1 or P1S. This A1 is the perfect machine to replace my Ender 3 S1 pro, and sit alongside my Neptune 4 Max. I can do small multicolor PETG and PLA on this, and use the Neptune 4 Max for larger parts, until they eventually release a version of the X2 with a larger bed size and I can consolidate down to 1 printer.

Great Video, I just ordered mine upgrading from an old school Ender 3 pro.
Fyi, the AMS top mount model files come with a bracket that fit to the back of the machine to increase stability.

Thank you for your honest review! I firmly beleve that the bambu lab printers are the new gold standard for amateurs. I'll buy one as soon as I have disposable income.

Feels like the only reason they made another bedslinger is just to have a direct competitor to the Prusa MK4

"there is something broken on the inside"

Why just move on quickly from that? You could have figured out what the problem was. It was an unexpected failed test.

I'm kind of tempted just for multi-color prints for the kids and for HueForge prints. I want my project/tinkerer printers, but I don't need every one to fall in to that category. Sometimes having a printer that just, you know, prints is a good thing!
