Bambu Lab A1 Mini FDM 3D Printer

I was needing a quick short term backup for an existing p1s end printer while I waiting for parts (first repair after many years of a lot of use). I didn’t expect that much from this little printer, but knowing it’s Bambu lab I knew it would be good. But I was so wrong! The little a1 mini is amazing. With pla (which I primarily use) I can’t see any quality differences or noticeable speed differences. The small building plate isn’t really much of a limitation, most prints I do is well in this. It’s so good I haven’t actually assemble my p1s with its repair parts yet… and.
It really is a lot of the performance for the price and desk space.

I’m getting another one!

This product worked as intended, cannot fault it it just does its job, all I wanted to do was to 3d print my 3d models and it works, tbh kinda wish i got better colours of filament though.

I was pleasantly surprised just how good the A1 mini is , from unboxing and setting up then printing from Bambu studio only took me 45mins
My first printer experience and it’s been super easy 👍 I was pleasantly surprised just how good the A1 mini is , from unboxing and setting up then printing from Bambu studio only took me 45mins

The setup and overall quality for the price is really good. The setup and overall quality for the price is really good.

Thoroughly recommend for anyone venturing into 3D printing to start here. The quality of the prints far outweighs my Creality Ender3 v3 p. Speed is the same too. It’s been fabulous for doing my small prints, freeing up my bigger printer for the big jobs.

Had this printer for nearly a month and is fantastic!. Never done 3D printing before now and knew nothing about it, but easy to get going straight out of the box and plenty of free files to download in Bambu studio to get started. In the short time I've owned it I have even learned how to design a few practical things which turned out great! Get into it, you won't regret it.

Got the Bambu Lab A1 Mini after watching some yt vids, and its my first 3d printer ever. Super easy two use, didnt need all that calibration stuff before printing. I was printing in like minutes.

Even my kids got into it, they printed a few toys already and had a blast. Print quality looks really nice, way better than I expected for a first try.

Really happy with it, feels like a perfect starter printer. Got the Bambu Lab A1 Mini after watching some yt vids, and its my first 3d printer ever. Super easy two use, didnt need all that calibration stuff before printing. I was printing in like minutes.

Yeah it's literally what the description says. I'm not very bright and easily managed to get this thing going. Now that i got a little bit of experience with printing at a cheap price, im going to buy the A1 cause the A1 mini as the name says 'mini', the bed is pretty small so you can't make big stuff which is what i want to do but if you are not trying to make something big then the A1 Mini will be the only printer you need to buy.

My boys saved up for this 3d printer and they love it. In fact my husband and I also love it. We have been using it flat out. And have not had any issues at all. The small size has not been a hindrance at all. My boys saved up for this 3d printer and they love it. In fact my husband and I also love it. We have been using it flat out.

Upgraded to the A1 Mini from an Ender 3 and it is so much better. Would definitely recommend this for a first-time user, the quick build, auto bed levelling, and more make it so easy to learn with. Printer also has a very impressive speed. Upgraded to the A1 Mini from an Ender 3 and it is so much better.

Fast, quiet, and quality. The A1 mini is the most efficient and user friendly 3d printer in its price range. For $250 less than the A1 its only downside is a smaller build plate. Highly recommend!
