Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bambu Lab A1 is an impressive little 3D printer that’s fast, quiet, and super easy to use—even for beginners. Setup takes just a few minutes, and prints come out clean and sharp right out of the box. The optional AMS Lite system makes multi-color printing fun, though it can be a bit finicky at times. The touchscreen is slick, the software’s intuitive, and the whole machine feels well-built. It’s not perfect—filament loading can be tricky, and color changes waste a bit of filament—but for the price, it’s a fantastic option for hobbyists who want speed without sacrificing quality.

We got the Bambu A1 3D printer for our son for Christmas, and it has been fantastic so far. Setup was surprisingly easy, even for beginners, and we were printing within no time. We’ve already made a bunch of different items, and everything has printed smoothly with great quality. We haven’t had a single issue, and the machine itself is really cool and impressive to watch in action. Overall, it’s been a great purchase and a lot of fun for the whole family.

Great printer! Excellent prints. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Multi-color wastes more filament than I would like.

I bought this for my daughter.. she had 0 experience with 3d printing other than she knew she wanted to get into it. I had played with some legacy printers enough to know that whatever I got for her had to be plug and play... this machine exceeded those expectations by a mile l! The prints she was able to do straight from the app on her phone blew away prints I had done on an Ender 3 after hours of tinkering with seetimgs , bed leveling etc.. this one self levels, self adjusts and..just works!! And I wasnt foung to get the AMS 4 color version.. do yourself a favor..pay the 100.00 upgrade and get it ..it makes a world of difference. Long story short... this is by far the best starter machine out there and will carry a beginner into intermediate and beyond

Bambu lab printers are great for starters who just want to print stuff and don’t want to deal with setting everything up and calibrating. All you have to do is screw in a few screws and mount the z axis and everything else is automatic. It takes 15~ or so minutes to calibrate and then it is ready to print. It comes with an sd card preloaded with a handful of test prints like a benchy or a bed scraper (it comes with a blade that you assemble). Overall great printer, especially paired with the ams lite.

I'm super happy with this 3D printer. This is my first ever printer and I've never touched a 3D printer before this too. Set up was pretty easy and straight forward with the book but I did watch a set up video prior to as well. The AMS lite is really fun and I've been doing a number of multicolor prints already. It doesn't come with anything more than a strip of filament so make sure you have some ready for when your printer arrives. I was up and printing within an hour of it arriving and now I can't stop. I'm still a little nervous and won't print when I'm not home but that's me. Oh yeah don't hook the AMS lite up to the printer before it's turned on and everything is updated and ran through the configuration as you'll need to oil under the build plate (which I didn't know) and removing the filament is a little bit of a pain for me. Thankfully there's a print to help with that. I opted to get this printer via Best Buy over Bambu because I got free shipping.

The Bambu Lab A1 is fast, reliable, and super easy to use. Setup was quick, calibration is automatic, and the print quality is excellent right out of the box. Purchased for my son as his first printer and the A1 has exceeded all of our expectations! For the price, it’s an awesome value and a great choice for both beginners and experienced users. Highly recommend!

Great product easy to set up and operate. Fantastic outcome of everything that has been designed so far

Got this because I was sick of leveling my old print bed and how much time and dedication that thing took. This new printer is awesome. Very easy to use and just about everything is automatic. I have quite a bit of experience with 3d printers and this is a breeze. Nice app to go along with it. My wife has been printing more than me lately and she has no idea how to do anything but the basics which consists of cleaning the bed after the print and reloading new filiment. Pros: -Auto bed leveling (yay!) -Super simple interface in the app -Very quick print times -Clean prints, using custom settings and ironimg helps minimize layer lines and creates a smooth finish -filiment depletion detection -AMS is a cool concept and works suprisingly well -AMS has auto filiment feed -setup was simple and very well detailed Cons: -tubing is fairly short. AMS needs to be real close to the printer - due to the speed needs a very stable table to be on. - you actually need to print a discard bucket, tool to release tubing (its a pain without) and cable managment (not totally necessary but with the AMS being as close as it has to be probably a good idea). Some might not see this as a con but its an added cost that shouldnt be there. -Printing with AMS isnt as user friendly as single color printing, tweaks have to be made to ensure no color bleed and purging. -The bambu studio software took a bit to get up and running. Had to disable my secondary graphics card on my laptop to get it to run and that suggestion came from my google search, support didnt have a solution. -lots of waste printing complex colored prints, but its to be expected on a single extruder system. Overall I love this thing. Its a great printer for begginers as well as experienced users that want to get complex with their prints. Side note: I did a lot of research between all of bambu's printers and for the price and ease of use (and ease of access on the AMS side) this one came out on top for my personal needs.

This 3D printer is incredible! It is very user friendly and the prints turn out great! The multi color functionality is awesome and the printer is very reliable. I would give more stars if I could.

I recently got the Bambu A1 Combo with the AMS Lite (the automatic feeder for up to four spools), and I have to say—the experience has been absolutely awesome. I upgraded from an Ender, and the difference is night and day. The A1 is simpler to use, significantly faster, and virtually trouble-free. One of the best-kept secrets is the MakerWorld app—you can browse, slice, and send prints straight from your phone or PC over Wi-Fi. It’s super convenient and works like a charm. Honestly, my only regret is not ordering more filament—this printer makes it so easy and fun to print that I ran through my initial supply way too fast! Highly recommended if you're ready to take your 3D printing to the next level.

I can’t say enough good things about this printer. It was so easy to set up, and without changing anything I was printing in less than an hour.

WOW, I was not expecting this printer to work so well. I am so impressed with it. First off it hardly take any space compared to my close printer and it's super light and so quiet, I couldn't believe how quiet it was and the fact you can use the touch screen, phone and computer. That is great especially for first time 3d printer buyers.The Bambu Lab app is so easy to use just find what you want and press print and the A1 starts printing. I chose the A1 combo so I could print multi color. I would advice to print an enclosure to keep the filament dry, you can find that in the Bambu app and it's free. I would definitely recommend this A1 printer but especially the A1 combo, it much cheaper.You will be amazed on how great this printer quality is.I was hesitant to buy, but I'm so glad I bought it and thinking of getting another as a gift for my nieces.Buy one, especially right now, they are so cheap in price. In my opinion you not get a better 3D printer at this price. I love it!

I have had three other 3d printers. This is my first Bambu. Man did they get it right. I am printing more than ever. It’s fun now. I know how to tinker. I have 45 years in mechanical engineering. I like to build things and have done a lot of restoration work. I can fix things. When I want to print in 3d I just want to print. I don’t want to spend thirty minutes unloading a nozzle, twenty minutes trying to get the first layer to adhere, ………. This printer does what it is suppose to do print. I didn’t have to get a raspberry pi and download multiple programs to print from my iPhone. I downloaded an app and presto it just works. These printers have a reputation, and it’s a good one.

The printer requires a simple assembly before use, but once set up, it performs incredibly well. Truly a plug-and-print experience afterward. It exceeded my already high expectations with great print quality and smooth operation.

Coming from an older single color printer. This was a much needed upgrade. Its alot quieter and faster also. Easy setup and easy operation. Got it with the AMS. Printer automatically switches colors so no need to step in.

As a first-time 3D printer owner, the Bambu A1 has been a game-changer. The setup was absolutely flawless, guiding through each step with clear instructions. The automated calibration meant that high-quality models were printed almost immediately, with no fuss or guesswork. The printer is incredibly beginner-friendly and produces exceptional results, right out of the box

Great machine and so easy to use. No issues and great to make multicolor items. Recommend for ease of use and quality of projects.

Greatt product. Prints very nice, easy set up and rase of use.

Absolutely my favorite purchase of the last couple years. Incredibly easy to set up, and Bambu's ecosystem it incredibly user friendly. I had been introduced to 3d printing in 2008 in highschool and wow have we come a long way since then. There is so much for me to learn, and having such an approachable yet robust system to be my entry back in was just what I needed. I cannot recommend this combo enough!
