Bambu should make a filament recycler.

Cool little printer. The reason the AMS is external is so they can reuse that design for the larger A1 and A1 Max. Someones going to print a stand that relocates it above the unit very quickly.

[DrewLSsix]

For prints with infill or un seen spaces there should be an option to use those for the color transitions rather than purge the plastic entirely. It would reduce waste potentially dramatically.

There's also simply printing with the blended filament, if you don't specifically need a hard break in the color, a bit of blended color might not be a problem at all.

This is perfect for me. I have never 3d printed due to space. This may be what I have been looking for. 🤷🏽✌🏼 Thank you for doing this video.

Sure, I would have been personally happier with a larger X1 carbon, but this is probably the best move for Bambu. It's setting itself up to be THE printer for folks brand new to the hobby to pick as their very first printer.

[NathanBuildsRobots]

I would set it up on the edge of the desk so it poops straight into a recycle bin or trash can. Just need to bolt it down so it doesn’t walk off the table

Bambu Lab just over three years ago: "No more bedslingers"
😂😂😂

[DPrintSOS]

Thank you for talking about the cons of the machine and not just endlessly praising it all. Much appreciated.

[RegularOldDan]

Great overview, UJ! I appreciate your honesty and sharing all the issues. To be fair, I don't know if it's just bad luck or you just being more transparent about failures with a new printer than others. Don't stop doing that.

[Deathbyfartz]

seems like the perfect machine for entry into multicolor printing.
i mean even the pallete alone is more expensive than the A1 mini combo :P

[axelSixtySix]

Not everyone's into printing out those quirky trinkets and oversized helmets! I reckon the A1 could really come to the rescue when it comes to churning out practical, nifty parts and essential hardware. 👍 And speaking of efficiency, in a bustling print farm, having a bunch of those compact machines can be way more flexible and productive than relying on a couple of big ones, no doubt about it. Last but not least, it looks like we've got another contender trying to dethrone the Prusa (mini) printers. We all know BambuLab's been sipping from the same well of inspiration! 😄

Are any of the clogging issues still a problem on the A1 Mini? Or is this due to pre production issues. Seems to be a thing in the 3d printing world, lots of reviews with issues with pre production firmware etc.

[bobfreeber]

Why do you still have purge towers when the printer goes through the purge cycle between color changes? Is the purge not comprehensive enough?

[HEAVYD]

Here for the creator, not the printer. Great video, especially with the new camera & DOA battery.

[RoseKindred]

3DPrintBunny!!! Love their work. Very nice person in the groups as well.

My 11 year old has had this as his first printer for a few months and absolutely loves it! I've even done a few prints on it and it's pretty cool. The thing is we learned to pretty much stick with the Bambu filiment, it just works better and is less hassle.

[thejdi]

I am weirdly excited about this... I don't have much space and this would be perfect? Alternatives for a click n print printer? Is this one workable with just 1 spool? Without the extra thing?

[stringflickers]

so its been a year hows the updates to the machine? i just ordered one for black friday and will arrive friday!

[nurkltoy]

Best honest review I have come across! Thank you!

I am new to 3d printing and just got mine today. I am happy and satisfied 😌🧡
