I've said this before and I'll say it again. Thank you for all you've taught me about 3D printing over the years Chuck. I'm successful because of you

[Turtle_]

I remember those old videos! Some of my favorites!

[jimbosliice]

Thanks! I'm going to move on from Creality and get a Bambu very soon. Appreciate the little preview on how Bambu Studio works. Can't wait

[MCsCreations]

Thanks for all the info, Chuck! 😊
Merry Christmas!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great video! A1 mini is my favorite little printers, great for travel too!

[electronron]

Thanks Chuck. When I first started looking into getting a 3D printer, one of the recommendations from you and others at the time was the Monoprice Select Mini (Original version). I got one and still use it today, of course I've had to do the heated bed wiring modification. I have a CR-10 that I got for retirement and it works great but the little Select Mini with a 120mm x 120mm x 120mm build area is still my go to printer for 90% of my prints.

Very timely video for me. This summer I bought the A1 mini with the AMS but I just didn't have the time to use it. It is still in the box and I intend to get it up and running over the holiday season. I was wondering how the colorization worked and you explained it well. Thanks!

[SmithyScotland]

wow. never realised it wasted so much filament.

[dosdont]

Hopefully some bambu lab profiles on the way

[KingCookieCat]

Is it possible to multi colour without the combo pack?

[richardharmon]

How do load an AMS Lite to print certain colors to a multi color model already downloaded. I to want print inverted numbers for vertical AMS. It is a two color print.

[JasonMaggini]

Not sure I would use an AMS for multi-color prints so much as for different filament materials for supports. PETG and PLA don't stick, so one makes good support material for the other.

Have A1 - there are no perfect 3D printers, but Bambu made it close

[micver]

Yeah nice video by chep.
That.s a lot of extra plastick bud its cool little printer
Bud i wud go for the a1 and not the mini you can always geth the Ams.
Later on.
Its tru 180 is al ready to big most of the time you print 120.🎉

[NLGeebee]

BL makes great printers, but non-offline mode makes it a no-go.

[UnCoolDad]

I'm convinced Bambu are selling below cost. Predatory pricing.
