Very high effort title, must have taken hours to think of!!!

[Meloshski]

Not often have I seen the split between “I am so done, let me breathe for awhile” and “I have to do this for my family and community, let me tap that well just a little more, please be just a little more..”

Get some rest Joel, happy holidays

My x1c has almost 3000 hours. I’m blown away by the reliability and function of the x1c. Bambu is a paradigm shift and will bring a revolution to hyper local manufacturing or home use.

[CheapCheerful]

Bambu P1S user here. Bambu got me into 3D printing after giving up years ago due to terrible user experience of Creality. Now I can just print, without screwing around! Brilliant!

[Marvthegrate]

I would love to have a larger x1c for sure. There are some practical limits to belt driven corexy systems to retain the speed and quality, so I get it. That said, I love my x1c and I ordered an A1. The A1 is going to be my PLA/PETG machine, focused on day to day prints and hopefully a little quieter than my x1c. The x1c is going to be loaded out with ASA for when I need more durable prints or UV stable things. What I love about the x1c (and hopefully the A1) is that my hobby finally is 3D printing, not 3D printers. I got tired of fiddling with everything as I went through no fewer than 10 other printers.

[MrDonXX]

Personally I would love a larger P1S at a minimum 300x300x300. My thoughts on the A1 its going to be hard to beat. It was not too long ago that people settled for changing just about every part on a 3D printer just to make it work like it should have in the first place. I can't wait for what the future holds from Bambu and this is only the beginning.

[IAMCUBEMAN]

Joel, I love your content. Thanks for pushing through whatever's got you like this for my enjoyment.

[dpathfinder]

A1 Max To be honest enclosed printers are more for things like higher temp filaments like abs, I love the Core XY system, like my P1S and K1 Max but i also Have a Neptune 4 Plus but if i was honest Id rather have that size with the tech of Bambu Lab.

[benjaminvdvyt]

I have the A1 Mini and just a few days ago I had 2 instances where their tension system worked great, one was where halfway my ptfe tube the filament broke, and it immediately detected it, and the second was where a spool got tangled it a bit. Now I will say it kept pulling so I kept hearing the filament being pulled out under another piece of filament, but as it got tighter and tighter, it pauzed and told me it seems to be stuck.

Because of the way the printer works with the AMS, it just neatly purged some filament when it could go again and you simply cannot see where it paused. It's a fantastic system.

I am quite satisfied with my subscription. With everyone and their parrot coming out with the same type of video at the same time, I feel like you still set yourself apart and still made it entertaining. Nice werk

[makers_lab]

Added to printers with an A1 mini recently, and it's brilliant. Motors silent after calibration, no imperfections on the walls and firmware outclasses everything else I've used by a mile. Great machines and about to order one of these now.

[ChippWalters]

I really enjoyed this video. I know at some level it may have been hard for you to make as you have personal relationships in other camps, but I think you provided a fair look at where this printer is targeted and who it is targeted at. One of the more impressive things you said was that it was not just a beginner machine and I agree. As a previous owner of Prusa printers, I now own several Bambu printers including 3 x1c's. And to be honest my favorite is the A1 mini. It's quiet, super simple to set up, and never gives me any problems whatsoever. So I'm looking forward to receiving my X1 as well. I consider myself an advanced 3D printer and have contributed models on both printables and makeerworld, and I really think this printer is a home run. It will be especially interesting to see if people start to build their own print farms based on this printer as it surely is affordable and significantly faster than other printers that fill up most print farms. Thanks again for your insights.

[outofdarts]

Looking forward to putting this through its paces!

[chuckwallace]

I enjoyed your video and subscribed. I know nothing about 3D printing but my young son wants one for Christmas. Your video was watched during my research. The BL A1 is the printer I'm getting. Thank you!

[AraKnine]

I'm still running an Ender 3 I bought years ago for really cheap and it still works well for what it is. But man, every time I see what the newer printers are capable of I'm really tempted to start setting money aside for one every time I see them get cheaper.

[Chopingporky]

The A1 will be the first cost I make when starting my business
I have other printers as a hobby now including a P1P
But I like the fact that the A1 is open which means more space to work on
I think the A1 xl is coming as the next machine
It would only make sense

[BeeWhere]

My friend wanted to get his first 3d printer because his son was interested and he wants to do some functional prints for his workshop.
He was waiting to order the A1 mini because the price point for multicolor, but after your live stream, that I got halfway through before it went unlisted, I told him the full A1 is a better choice depending on the price and I think it's a great choice. I wished they were more open source, but for new people who just want things to work, I understand the tradeoff.

[MarlinFirmware]

It’s great to see this level of integration and ease-of-use coming to the consumer market. Bambu is pushing all of us to innovate and to think more about the total user experience, and that’s a good thing! We’ll probably get one for the lab, not to reverse-engineer or to copy its features, but to appreciate and keep as a source of inspiration, especially in the realm of first-time setup — something we in the land of RepRaps could definitely improve upon.

[xConundrumx]

I got the mini, I wanted something small to put next to me on the desk. I was ... BLOWN AWAY. Truly plug and play, no muss no fuss, just press slice ... and press send. And I have had a couple 3d printers over the years. Ok experiences on most (i do check reviews first) but the A1 mini (and I am sure this one too) are just insane. Haven't used the AMS lite yet mind (like I said I want a small one for on the desk so for now the AMS is just in case I want it later).
