Bought the Creality K1 Max on sale for $511... I'm returning it and getting the A1 instead. I don't care about the bigger size on the K1 Max. I just don't want to have to tinker with it endlessly to get a decent print. That and the reviews on it are less than reassuring

I have just purchased one of these and now starting to learn all about it, along with Fusion 360 to draw the bits I want to make for my model boat. I was impressed with the quality of the machine and the way it was packaged. Well done Bambu lab. Wish me luck.Cheers. Ian New Zealand

Insanely good pricing! I had just purchased an a1 mini so i'm kinda mad about that but maybe i'll sell it and upgrade after christmas. This will be a nice print farm machine over mk4s and such. wish the camera was better though for sure!

[AndrewSink]

Those Hueforge prints are absolutely mind-blowing. Nice work!

[spriteforge]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but BL also has most if not all replacement parts for all their printers, and the prices on the parts are very reasonably priced.

[ChippWalters]

Really nice video. I have three x1c's and one mini and by far the many is my favorite. It is so quiet I keep it in the bedroom. And, just like the excellent seas, it just works. It never gives me any problems. Within 2 weeks of purchasing my first X1C, I gave away my Prusa MK3S+ along with all of the accessories I had purchased for it over the years. There is just no comparison in terms of usability.

It's nice to see influencers coming around to the conclusion that Bambu solutions are significantly better than anything Prusa is offering.

Can't wait. Just ordered mine today. I have an Ender 5S1 and a 3S1 so I can't wait to start printing multi color. WOO HOO.

Bambu Lab A1 3D Printer
$899.00 AUD
GST included.
says available April. New sub wants one!

[backtoearth]

If I were Joseph Prusa I would be SERIOUSLY rethinking my prices right now. Bambu are leaving them in the dust on build, engineering, innovation, and pricing. Even Voron, that can iterate quickly has been left in the dust.

[ethansdadd]

Wow. Bambu is really knocking it out of the park with all of the innovations and the price is nice. I just wish it wasn't a bed slinger and the AMS system is so ugly. Congrats on the 100K subs!

I think I'm getting this printer as my first printer. Then i may get the X1C later so i can print more simultaneously and also have prints with technical downstairs like carbon fiber and ABS with the X1C

I’m new to 3D printing and due to this video I will be getting the Bambu Lab A1. I do have a question, does this 3D printer come with a scanner? Please realize I’m new to this. Thank you.

[cygnusstarscream]

Thank you kindly. I just Ordered mine after watching this video and am looking forward to my new toy. I have Qid X Max, Ender 5 and Ender 3 Pro printers and need an upgrade. Thanks again.

My A1 mini combo was delivered yesterday (still in box) and I ordered the A1 "Big Brother" combo this morning. When I found out a day later after ordering the A1 mini the announcement of the A1 I sent them an email asking for a return for the mini. Still awaiting an answer on that.

[lostinseale]

Happy to subscribe because this was good information. Can’t wait to see what tech you review in 2024.

[remiilatte]

New sub here. Congratulations on all of your progress with your channel so far. Keep it up! Thanks for the video. I loved your original X1 videos too. I really hope bambu labs releases a larger printer soon I’m dying for one.

[woodwaker]

Jim, I think you really like it. Does look like a great first printer esp if you want auto filament - color changes

[Townshed]

I wonder if that AMS lite will work as an add-on unit with the regular AMS, any idea if it will?

[ThatGoth]

They just recalled this printer, the heat bed cables are susceptible to damage and a n issue with the heat bed.

[Patrik_]

Congrats to 100k subs!! Really well deserved!!
A question. Does that ams light work with a P1S? Or do I need the full AMS? Love my P1P/S!
