Great video love the way you did an unboxing and not just a review. Much love!
Thank you!!!
Nicely done. I’ve watched a few other reviews and yours is just better. It hits all the key points and shows us what to expect. Your enthusiasm is palpable but not over the top hype. Appreciate you and your work.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks, I ordered an A1-mini single spool. Comes tomorrow! This is amazing, I had no idea that it is this inclusive. Also my first go at 3-D printing. Will find much helps for my woodworking.
PS, paid $199.00 for it!
Love that you did a whole unboxing! Great job!
Glad you liked it!! Thank you!
Wow... Thanks for the review.
I appreciate the full unboxing! Glad yours has been reliable.
Good overview. Looking forward to seeing it and YOU at ERRF!🙌
Can't wait! Thank you for watching and shoot me your questions anytime!
Very well done, Jim!
Thank you!
This looks like the perfect printer for STEM classes.
Absolutely!!!
Why better than any other printer like ender or Prusa mini? Or k1
@@bisk1407 price is the same as the Prusa Mini for the whole kit, and the Prusa isn’t even fully assembled. Bambu’s ease of use out of the box is next to none. The maintenance is pretty easy, and they’re durable as well. All very important points for a school district looking to buy these for a bunch of kids to use.
I upgraded from an Ender 3 Pro to a P1S. It was night and day. The P1S is closer to a fully functional appliance than a toy for tinkering. The A1 Mini is the next step in the applianceification of 3D printing.
@@chrislewandoski3383 prusa is known for just working. I would even say it’s the most reliable printer in the world. I find it bold of you to assume that a printer that has not hit the market is just as reliable. Don’t get me wrong I think bamboolab is a really good company with great printers! Just found your assertion of it being good for STEM silly ☺️
@@bisk1407price and easy of use. Most stem classes wouldn’t need to AMS
Great video! I'm an extreme newbie & am excited to get this machine. So many acronyms ... thanks for finally saying what AMS stood for!
I’m very impressed with this especially for it being a new machine and manufacturer I’ve been watching videos on multiple brands and like you said for the price point this is very impressive and competitive with the features that come stock
Wow. That is amazing speed on a bed slinger
One of the better reviews I have seen, good job.
Jim, Great review and totally agree about being a great machine for beginners. I was hoping for a bigger not smaller print area. Will see what they release next.
No doubt, if the bed was equal to or bigger than my 235x235 bed, I would be completely sold. I don't even print multi-color but having all my most common spools up there would be amazing. Furthermore someone mentioned that it can detect spool run-out (via the runout sensor) and then automatically continue into another spool, meaning you can easily finish off spools and not even worry about having to switch to the next spool manually. Lots of thought went into this thing.
@@GeddyRC I use my Bambu X1C and the P1 for small prints and my Rat Rigs for big ones. I would like at least a 350 mm bed size, my big Rat Rig is 500mm and comes in handy
Amazing! Pre-ordered!
Awesome!! I hope you love it!
For someone who has been thinking of getting into 3D printing, especially for model railways, this new printer is really interesting! I don't need a big build plate, but an easy to set up and use printer, especially for someone who has never owned or used a 3D printer. This looks nice and easy to get to actually using!
It would be perfect for you! If you need something small like N scale, just toss a .2 nozzle on it and let it fly! It's the easiest printer I have used and now the best for beginners.
@@TheEdgeofTechhow is it stacking up next to the M5C Jim?
@@TheEdgeofTechI was debating purchasing the PS1 for the last 3 days. Now thinking I may just need the A1 mini with the AMS Lite. I've never worked with 3D printing yet. I work in IT data networking but I'm only looking to print hydroponic towers and accessories. I'm sooooo confused now. I don't want super complex but I need to be able to print UV capability parts. Oh man. The debate is killing me.
Do you have a detailed video for the PS1 like you do for this one? For comparison so I can make up my mind what to spend? My lil kids may have to sell one but whateve😅 (JK no harm in a child in the making of this comment).😂
@@playconveyor Better but smaller!
@@kathrynmcmurray7193 for you, I would go with the P1S because you're trying to print high temp or UV resistant material. Some of that requires an enclosure and you'll be better off that way.
Best video ive seen yet. Great job! Keep it up.
Great video, shared on my group and Socials.
Sweet video man!
Great video!
Nice work 👏
Thanks ✌️
The price is great, is the best option for begginers thats final
100% Truth!
I would say being the production one to show off. If you bring the prototype people are gonna want it. Maybe they can run a special release production model with clear for those who want to see what’s going on inside.
looks like jim has spent time in the sun. on the water? or doing the lawn?
That's a perfect printer for your wife and her miniture home stuff
Brilliant and very comprehensive just one thing though how do you define the areas within your print that are different colours. I actually own a mosaic system but unfortunately have never achieved a ‘good’ result.
Great review , i want to print the mouse !
I need to print mine for sure!!
Somebody got i think less than 12 min benchy on it. CRAZY😮
Can you create your own items for printing and if so, how is this accomplished and then is it sent to the app or from a wi-fi connected desktop for printing? Also, is it recommended to Bambu Labs filament or can any filament be used?
here's hoping that when Bambu will release their X1 MAX version, (with 300x3 or larger bed, fingers crossed) it will have ALL of these new features including chamber temperature control.
Can you use multiple AMS units like the other models?
Awesome review! Loved seeing everything that came in the box!
Any chance you've tried PETG on the A1?
Or multi material?
I extensively use my X1C and P1S for PETG parts with PLA as support interface layers and the A1 would be a great cost effective farm solution for the smaller parts I'm doing while freeing up my other printers for more demanding work.
I haven't yet, nut don't see it being an issue!
How do you set that up in bambu slicer?
@@Ebonyqwe if I have time this week I'll put a Short up on my channel about it 😊
How do you swap over to the external spool shown as number five on the Bambu Studio, it’s very confusing, I selected it and sent it to the printer, but it used No 2 instead.
Just bought my second one
If I was to get a Bambu printer I think IO would get a full size one
I would love to see the A1 mini become XL for all its features .
Will the combo fit together on a LACK table/in a LACK enclosure? I'm only finding measurements for the printer, not the AMS lite.
I pretty much want to print with TPU for FPV racing... Will this machine do the job? Also being a noob... is it beginner friendly? I am trying to decide between this one and the PRUSA Mini. Thanks.
I noticed that the top plastic cap on the Z pillar of the clear test unit is clear whereas the test unit "BV3D: Bryan Vines" received is not clear. It'd be interesting to know what differences there are in the test units they sent out.
Cute... Good for some people. Not my cup of thea i'm nothing with this new one. I really hope they release a new bigger bambu a 300x300 or 400x400 soon
Oh no! Kamikaze Panda!
How are you meant to keep the filaments dry?
its still on pre order, when is it gonna be out?
Great video and review. I see that there seems to some rather mixed reactions. Personally I think it is a great machine, yes it needs plenty of space to use and build volumn is more than enough for the price. I mean if you want to print big models then you would go for a bigger machine for more money. I also think would suit a lot of people wanting to get into 3d printing, I would say that it possibly aimed at entry level printing, but for even the !! avid makers it could come in handy especially for smaller batch prints with the speeds it’s capable of.
Also don’t no what the totally setup time was cos of the editing. But I would say for pretty much out the box you can’t go wrong.
Ps. Good luck with the world record attempt and keep up the work 😊😊
Thanks!! I appreciate you watching and the agree with your opinion!!
Watching you fasten the purge kicker (as a seasoned 3D printer user) it makes me wonder how many 'new' users are going to move this thing around by the x gantry. Further, how much reefing can that take and not completely destroy z offset.
New users won't have a clue what's wrong.
Nice
Thanks
I was thinking of buying a P1s, but with these updates on the A1 I'll wait until the P2s arrives, in the meantime I'm playing with another bedslinger!
Good luck with that. You'll be waiting for many years if that's the case.
@@protectyourassests1028 I understand your concern, but hey, your printer doesn't get worse just because there are printers with other features, appreciate your printer as it is!
I should be able to print colored lithopanes right?
It is definitely killing the Prusa Mini+, although the Mini+ has input shaping now, but for me the new A1 is the best thing ever!!!!
How long time did it take to print the 3 color panda?
Excellent video. Product not for me or aimed at me, but I loved your take.
I’m trying to watch every release video I can and thumbs up them after the disaster someone caused you all yesterday. Hopefully it can’t happen again.
Thank you! It's aimed at new people to 3D printing, but I think it would be great in farms!
Well I’m sold. The technology packed into this is cool as heck! The kit they include is cool too, that’s very neat!! I need one of these in my life. Haha.
@theedgeoftech - may be a dumb question - but how does the machine know what color filaments you loaded in the mini AMS? The colors were on the screen - does the machine know or do you have to tell it?
Auto on the Bambu filament spools
Any chance you would consider selling the prototype?
Damn it I said I wasn’t gonna buy anymore products Byers for a while
Am I right in assuming that you have to use Bambu spools? The AMS looks pretty specific.
No, you can use other spools as long as the hole in the center is neither too big nor too small to fit on the AMS lite.
Nope! As long as the spool fits, you can use it!
This!!
Is this review unit being use to print the world record marble run?
The AMS is pretty big and takes up a lot of desk space. Do you think itd be feasible to wall mount it above the printer?
You can. I’ve seen some cool wall mounts for the AMS on makers world. I suggest checking it out!
@@JJ3DPrints I've seen loads since I posted the comment
RIP Prusa
I have an ender 3 would this be an upgrade
It's a smaller build area but a huge upgrade! So if you can deal with the smaller build area, this would be a great printer!
just dropping things all over lol did you find that screw? what speed was that benchy done at? this is perfect for an apartment where space is an issue (like mine!) Creepy orange eyed bear! Dig the shirt also...dont forget the pie at ERRF
HAHA I love all your comments!! It was the benchy that came on the printer, so I am not sure how fast, but in total 17min as far as time goes! Perfect if you have space!! I didn't find the screw yet.. lol
@@TheEdgeofTech I hope to make it out to ERRF and meet ya there.
Can you print TPU with the AMS?
I read that TPU can't be used in the AMS
@@terryd8692 if you don’t use the AMS can you print with tpu?
This or the Neptune 4 pro?
thats another prusa mine killer
I think it will take a bite out of their sales for sure! You can get the whole combo for less than one Prusa Mini shipped... lol
I've gone for one of these. Prusa mini was an option but you get the AMS for the same price
That poop ejector needs some more engineering.
If I dont want to use wifi is there any way I can get it to print stuff?
It takes MicroSD
I want to see it print multi color prints
Bummed, I didn't get the sample ring of colors (or the sample projects).
I’m super curious about Maker world, how does it know where to put supports or what supports will be best? Can’t wait for it to be out of beta!
Loved the video Jim! There is no reason for me to recommend anything at this point to a friend or family member looking to get into 3D Printing except the Bambu’s. 😎
Those who have access can't share too much due to NDA. But I'll just say that it just loads into your local slicer so you can edit things as needed (on desktop)
What's the benefit of using your affiliate link other than your own?
It does not cost anything extra to anyone who uses it. But for me it gives me a very small percentage of the sale and that helps the channel out quite a bit!
Clicked on link but A1 Mini is not listed. Very confusing.
Sorry, I am not sure I follow.. What's going on?
Would have been nice to get a pei plate with my carbon combo! That cool plate is garbage.
Why is it that people all declare that they love their Prusa and their Voron but then let themselves be locked in a golden cage without any hesitation? Joel from 3D Printing Nerd said "Open Source is paramount" and then he recommends a closed ecosystem printer after all.
5:01 WTF? 😀
The bed is dang small
please share the mouse stl file with us 😅
that ams is huge and will be hard to place(takes up toooo much space.
Hmm not sure
Not sure about what?
Tpu ?
Yes, you can use TPU without using the AMS system.
i dont like to send my models to bambu lab x . x
From a technical point of view, two questions.
Why would I invest in a printer over which I have no control over my designs, letting them pass through a cloud on the internet so that I can only print them if I connect to the internet? This makes me wonder: why can't I have full control over my designs?
The second thing I don't like about Bambu is the filament waste situation, why? Now if Bambu offered me a filament recycler along with the printer, I wouldn't say anything. But why continue to have something in a futuristic design that produces waste, at that price? If you think about it, it's not worth the combo. But is the money I'm going to spend on filament really justified? I don't think so.
Now, if we think that many of the machines that come from China we need tuning. Nothing comes with anything to say.
We keep producing obsolescence.
So very disappointed with this, seems like Bambu are going backwards - $500 for this but another $200 for P1? I'll take the extra build volume and enclosure framing for the extra money. This seems like its trying to compete with the Prusa Mini? I guess a few more iterations and it will be good to go.
As someone new to 3D printing I was looking at the P1S but I've decided to give this a go because it's cheaper and has the AMS. The P1S with AMS would have been good but it's just too much for a first printer
need to creallity to copy this cus we dont want to send our modelos to bambu lab, some models could be expensive than machines, then ...
Could always use MicroSD or LAN mode. Still not entirely convinced that LAN mode stops them pilfering your models though
Prusa who?
HAHA too funny!
@24:12 @BambuLab Please make this an orderable item in the store 🥳
so far the only problems im seeing with this super affordably priced printer is
A: print volume is borderline unusable for anything practical
B: nozzle wipe doesnt wipe
This is exactly what Nathan build robots said. That’s why he’s the definitive source for 3D printing news
They crippled this machine with a 180mm cube build area! Should be at least 220mm. NO thanks............
Then they wouldn't sell any P1Ps would they?
The AMS Lite looks ridiculous and cumbersome
BUT ITS NIT OPEN SOURCE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO CARE ABIUT THAT! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is your car open source or your paper printer in that matter. Why should I care if a appliance is an open source? 🤷♂️
@@photo_n_art I was being sarcastic
@@car_tar3882say what ?! 😱🤣🤣💩
You got 2 for free but if you had to buy them like the rest of us, would you honestly? To me this is 100 steps backwards for Bambu Lab. This is where they Jump the Shark.
💸🐄😂
I like how you promote bambu Lab a1... but the printer, let's be honest, very disappointed
I appreciate the feedback! To be fair, it's not the bigger one that everybody hope for, but it's solid! It is so fast at multi-color printing and would be a perfect print farm solution for parts smaller than the build size.
@@TheEdgeofTech I know people that already have a Bambu Lab printer are disappointed, but this printer isn't really aimed at them. $299 for a very fast bed slinger with noise cancelation, flow calibration, and the ability to add multi-color printing with supported parts? Who would buy an Ender over that?
All you waterheads calling for a bigger printer dont realize they cant go bigger without losing speed. I really doubt they are even developing a bigger printer. They are making money hand over fist with what they have. The release of this cheaper printer just moved them into a new market. Bambu is doing it right. I hope they dont make a bigger printer just so I can watch you all cry for another year.
So disappointed.
Why is that? Not what you were expecting?
@@TheEdgeofTechI just don't think this is what people want that already have a bambu. This will bring in new people and I'm sure it's great. But I can already print smaller but it's impossible for me to print bigger. Birthday to made their AMS compatible with other printers that would have been great too. I understand the Apple approach I just don't like it. But I do love your channel. Keep it up
@@DennisCrawfordJr I am X1c owner but A1 is super interesting! I pre-ordered one. A1 absolutely got better design of extruder and nozzles. We can expect these all improvement on next gen X1, P1 serise soon.
you already bought one, they did what they needed to do, they dont care if you buy more.@@DennisCrawfordJr
It’ll be like a spare tire to my always broken X1. I just hope this ones electronic has some quality this time.
It's a toy, Bambu Lab is targeting beginners that don't have P1 or X1 money.🤔 It's sad how they hyped it up so much, bet that cost them a lot of money in sales. With that being said, I'm sure we wont be seeing a bigger printer from Bambu Lab until 2025.
I disagree. It's small yes, but very powerfull if you want fast, reliable and/or multi colored prints. They are helping get more people into 3D printing and that is great for all of us! And I would bet that a bigger pritner is coming sonner than later..
I would argue that most 3d printers can be used not as a toy. As someone in the fabrication industry. 20 years ago to make even a small custom part. Easily cost my business 10K, for cad design, prototypes, casting a mold. I use several $200 printers to make reliable parts for what I do. So used properly this printer, and others can easily be used for business. 3D printing has save me tens of thousands of dollars being able to do things in-house.
Because Full sized "helmets" aren't Toys??? From any manufacturers point of view....the majority of files on printables or thingiverse will fit on this build plate.
What a waste of money and space that’s a disappointment.
This is definitely a head scratcher. It takes tons of room. Produces tons of wasted material. Has a small build plate and you are forced to use the bambu cloud to slice. You also have to use their filament. Uhmmm! 🤔 NOPE!
You make the ams look so much smaller than others lmao. 😭
HAHA Do you like it?
@@TheEdgeofTech And again a small dog that shits a lot 🙈
Nice video but, with this machine it is not possible to print your own files as is usually done with other printers? but can you only print those you download from the internet? I don't understand, can you be more clear about this?
