ABOUT the A1 mini

Active Flow Rate Compensation:
The A1 mini revolutionizes flow control in 3D printing. It utilizes a high-resolution, high-frequency eddy current sensor to measure the pressure in the nozzle. Our algorithm actively compensates the flow rate according to the readings to extrude with accuracy.

Full Auto Calibration:
The A1 mini handles various calibrations all by itself. It meticulously calibrates the Z-offset, bed-level, vibration resonance and nozzle pressure for EVERY print job, automatically.

Plug-N-Play:
The A1 mini comes to you pre-assembled, pre-squared, and pre-tuned with precision. It only takes about 20 minutes to set up for your first print.

Active Motor Noise Cancelling:
The A1 mini can calibrate parameters to match tiny individual differences between each drive motor. This compensates for the unwanted harshness of motor noise.

Bed Slinger, with CoreXY Speed And Quality（High-Speed Precision):
Full-metal Rails, rigid frame, nozzle pressure sensor, accelerometers, powerful MCU, and above all, an advanced motion control system that utilizes these features to print a 14-minute benchy with quality and following all the speed benchy rules straight out of the box without using specialized filaments.

Sync with Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy:
Remote control and monitor your printer on Bambu Studio or Bambu Handy. Through the built-in camera, you can also record timelapse videos.

I just got mine an hour ago, I am going to unbox it and put it together with the help of your video to make sure I do it right 🙏

[iriemann]

I missed tightening the screws under the build plate. Thanks for that save. I'm guessing you've seen the 5th slot on the tube holder is for the black cord. Cheers!! Thanks for the info.

I got my A1 Mini about 5 days ago & it sat in the box till today because honestly I was intimidated 😅 I don't know why but just setting something up that I know nothing about makes me nervous. Your tutorial put an end to that 🙂 I was able to follow along & set it up in no time. Thank you! Now I feel a little silly for not having just looked up a tutorial & coming across yours 5 days sooner 😂

Thanks man just got my 3-D printer for Christmas. This helped a lot.🎉

[RyanRyanHayes]

I didn't get the little engine model :(

[MeepMeep]

3:46 how the heck did he slide that thing in so easily lol. Mine is like fused onto there after wards.

[Sparkynutz]

Would replacing ams tubing with longer tubing to have alightly farther away be an issue?

[sadsausage]

Hi! Does it have a microsd card slot or can you only use the cloud and LAN mode?

[GuyOnTwoWheels]

Install what plate? Odd you didn’t show that. Off to figure that out and how exactly you made the wheel of filament turn when loading.

[CristianCruz-]

So excited I just got my a1 mini for Christmas

[slogonoah]

is the purge wiper important? cause my box didnt come with it

[lorismasat]

Hello and thanks for the review, I cannot find how long is the power cord for the printer? Can someone please tell me the length, I'm waiting for the printer to be delivered and I'm setting all up.
Thanks

[coldfire]

dont expect to get that engine kit with your printer, they only put that in the box for reviewers

[entendercbien]

Thank you for doing this vid!
Question: does it matter where do you plug the tubes on the printer side? I mean: do they have a specific order?

[nickbender]

Thank you so much for making this video! I was very helpful!

[jegarciaz]

Hello, What is the weight of the package?

[calebdebass]

Hi! May I ask. Being a smaller creator on a different account, how did you get them to send you an A1 mini? Did you reach out to them, or did they reach out to you?

[NewVenari]

Spool keeps falling off the AMS lite during rotation, no matter how tightly I press it in

[jaimade]

Please can you tell me how much real estate is needed for printer and AMS lite

[blue-quick]

Boo. An AMS Light assembly didn't come with mine. The guy who sold me the A1 Mini was nice enough to let me buy an entire spool of filament though.
