Customer Ratings & Reviews

This printer is excellent. Was hesitant about a bed slider and not being enclosed since it limits what you can print, but the updated tech and price make it worth it over the P1S for PLA and PETG prints in my opinion. The current Black Friday sale price is a steal too. It’s also a lot quieter than other core-xy printers in this price range (comparing it to the flash forge AD5X and elegoo Centauri carbon) and even beats out the enclosed P1S in that department too. If you think you’ll want to print ABS or ASA get the P1S, or even better wait for the P2S. But if you are just starting out or want a printer primarily for PLA and PETG you can’t go wrong with the A1. Just be prepared for some assembly — which knocks a star off the ease of use.

As a long-time user of consumer and professional-grade 3D printers, I can confidently say this machine raises the bar across the board. From the moment I unboxed it, the build quality was immediately evident—rigid frame construction, intuitive touchscreen interface, and seamless setup made a strong first impression. But it’s the print quality that truly sets it apart. Whether printing high-resolution prototypes or complex multi-part assemblies, the detail and layer consistency are astonishing. The dual-extrusion system functions flawlessly, with zero clogging or misalignment across a 30+ hour continuous print. The automatic bed leveling is not only accurate—it’s smart. It adjusts dynamically during printing to maintain flawless adhesion, which drastically reduces failed prints and wasted filament. On the software side, the included slicer is fast, responsive, and packed with pro-level controls while still being beginner-friendly. This printer isn’t just a tool—it’s an innovation engine. For professionals and serious hobbyists alike, it’s a clear front-runner and absolutely worthy of a top industry prize

Buy the AMS combo you’ll be happy! Bambu labs had these on backorder but Best Buy had them ready to ship…everything works great and it’s super easy to use…been printing just about non stop for the last month…anything I can think of..I just browse through all the models until I see something I have to have…I click Print and it’s mine after a few hours lol.

I have heard that these printers are the best for beginners. and its true! this printer exceeds all of my expectations. it is smooth quiet, and the user interface is really nice.

Great Printer bigger brother to the A1 Mini. Quick setup. My only complaint I had to 3D print a enclosure for it to make sure my filament stays dry.

This is my first 3d printer. I bought this on a suggestion from family. So far, so good, very user friendly, fantastic price. Easy to setup and use. All in all this is a fantastic machine.

This printer is a great beginner option. The quality is amazing compared to other beginner friendly printers. It's super easy to set up and works super well.

I had an Ender 5 Plus and broke myself into 3D printing the "hard way." This printer however takes all that work you have to do before starting a print and eliminates it. I've printed many a model that took overnight without fear of a failed print. This is an excellent machine for anyone starting the 3D printing hobby.

Printer works great, the autoload feature for the filament is amazing, much easier to use and far fewer issues than a previous printer we had. Very user friendly and high quality prints.

It prints very clean and good. I’m new to 3d printing and it is very beginner friendly, I was able to figure everything out relatively easily. The assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow.

I was concerned with the noise associated with printing on this device. I was pleasantly surprised, there wasn't any. I needed to have five items printed at once and there was no problem. As soon as I finished a four hour "run" I merely unloaded and hit reprint.

This printer is incredibly powerful and versatile, especially considering to the original Creality 3D printer. The difference in performance is remarkable. Unlike the manual calibration required with the original printer, this one automates the entire process, making it accessible even to a six-year-old. It’s truly remarkable how much has been automated, making it incredibly user-friendly.

This printer is very easy to set up and use. I really like that Bambu's MakerWorld has multiple accessories for the printer. For the A1 with the AMS System it is a must to print the top mount and stiffener brackets to save space. Along with this I highly recommend printing the AMS Spool Locks. My only complaint is the x-axis cable can get caught on the bed, however this can be easily solved by downloading and printing any one of the cable solutions on MakerWorld. Lastly, I recommend printing a bin for waste. Overall it has great print quality and is easy for any beginner to use.

Great for starting off and easy to assemble. It is a tad slower than the P1S but the quality is up to par but may need some tweaking when it comes to certain angles of overhang. But once it’s dialed in it’s pretty top notch

Worked right out of the box. Easy to operate. This is a perfect 3D printer for beginners. I'm planning to buy a second one since it does take time to print anything, and I tend to print multiples of something. I could have purchased a more expensive and faster printer, but having two inexpensive printers is all I need.

Needs an adult to setup. Got it for my 15 year old, he picked it up really quick. One thing I do not like is the amount of plastic poop that it creates during multi color print. It is a necessary evil for quality, wish it was less, other wise no issues so far. Coming back to 15 year old's experience, he is pretty much hooked up, haven't lost interest even after a month :-). The Bambu app has already availably designs that you can easily print. I my self was impressed with my very first 3D print. Great product. The one star reduced is for the plastic poop only. Great product so far. The AMS is a great add on, allows auto feed from 4 different spools of filament, easy install. Also automatically chooses the filament needed when doing multi color print.

This A1 works great. Beginner 3D'er. Easy to operate and is mesmerizing. I really like the AMS mini, have completed several multi color projects. The Bambu Lab makes everything easy for us beginners.

Thjs is my second Bambu printer and my 7th overall and this is by far my favorite. Its fast, quiet, and best of all, reliable. Its great for single color or multi color printing and makes an excellent beginner printer!

very easy to use, plug and chug pretty much. find file, slice, export to sd, print. has auto bed leveling so no hand adjusted knobs. ~120 machine hours on it so far, no issues works as expected.

Great beginner printer. It took a few minutes to set up, but it was ready to start printing, and it handles all of the small things for you with each print!
