Bambu Lab - A1 3D Printer - Silver

So far, this printer has been great. I haven't gotten any clogs during prints nor needed to constantly re level the bed on it as it does it on its own and able to upload files to print from a far on my computer without having to move a SD card to the machine manually. I have been printing for a solid month so far no fails nor problems. Compared to my old printer with the Ender Pro 3 This machine feels like night and day to me. I'd say its great only thing needs to be done is cleaning the plate and lubrication every month or so with the silicon light oil for the x and y axes and grease for the Z axis screws. Other than that pretty gud.

I originally bought this 3D printer “just for fun”… and maybe to make a few laser jigs for our laser cutting and engraving business. That was the plan. A simple, responsible plan. Fast forward to now, I use this thing for absolutely everything. Sometimes I print things I don’t even need just because I can’t stop watching it magically create objects out of thin air. It’s like living with a tiny robot factory that never sleeps. At first it was practical stuff like wall hangers, shop jigs, little organizational helpers. Then it escalated. Decorations. Toys. A custom door stop. A laundry detergent cup holder that drains back into the bottle (because apparently I now solve problems no one asked me to solve). You start looking around your house differently. “Could I print that?” “Should I improve that?” “Why buy it when I can design it?” Before you know it, every room slowly becomes… populated. Honestly, it might be an addiction. A productive, creative, wildly satisfying addiction — but still. So maybe don’t buy this. Unless you’re ready for your home to slowly transform into a showroom of things you proudly say, “Oh that? Yeah, I printed that.”

What a great way to learn about 3-D printing! Very beginner user-friendly with easy set up. We had a multitude of things to print straight from our phone with the free app. I would definitely recommend getting an extra role of PLA filament because the starter roll goes pretty quick. This will also give you some time to learn about the other types of filament. Without the 4 spool feeder “AMS” it’s limited to one color however I guess there’s a complicated work around but there’s a lot you can do without it. That part seems to be difficult to get separately but I chose to wait so I could get ours before Christmas. The combo version is definitely the best way to go; but again there’s a mind blowing amount of things you can do without it. Prints take time even though it’s running pretty quick. (The dragons pictured were about 7 hours each) I certainly don’t have regrets and will probably not outgrow this one.

The Bambu Lab A1 is incredible! Arrived perfect, set up in minutes, and the print quality is insane. Buying from Best Buy made it even easier the staff explained everything and made the whole experience smooth. Hands down the best 3D printer I’ve ever used!

Such an awesome printer! Super easy to use and comes with things you can’t print off right away. Pick up was super easy and had it set up in less than 30 minutes!
