Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 highly recommend this printer. I went back and forth for a while deciding whether to get one or not. I researched and researched. I finally settled on the A1 Combo. Setting it up is pretty straightforward. I actually followed one of the many youtube videos on setting it up vs the included manual. Not saying it's bad, it's just I prefer the video setup. I have printed probably over 50 items since I've gotten it and have absolutely no regrets. Out of all of them, only one print has been bad and that was my fault, not the printers. The Bambu Handy app is amazing. There are literally hundreds of prints on there. It's as simple as selecting a print, seeing how many plates and filament it would require and then hitting start. That simple. I've downloaded Bambu studio to start learning how to create my own but haven't had the time to start doing that yet. In summary, you can't go wrong with this printer. It's a great starter printer for someone just getting into 3D printing.

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

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!

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

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 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.

Ok we all know Bambu and how these printers work great, easy to setup, etc etc… I started with a x1c and later got a p1s and then I picked up the a1 so I kind of went backwards. Some things that caught me off guard with this printer because I was used to Bambu higher end printers. It’s not a deal breaker by any means but the touch screen is very laggy sometimes. I’m not sure if it’s an SD card issue or just a slow chipset for the touch screen. The screen looks amazing but it’s not as fluid as the X1C. The other issue I have with this printer is color selection on the display screen is very limited so sometimes you have to just pick a place holder color that doesn’t match what your printing. Those are the only 2 things keeping this from being 5 star. It prints amazing is easy to setup the ams lite system is easy to use. The touch screen interface and menu could just be better,

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.

Going from the toy box printer to this printer was a night and day change in performance, reliability, and ease of use. The app integration to this tool is fantastic as well as third-party software if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of 3-D printing. I love to see how far this technology has come along and what we will be able to use this for in our life.

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!

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.

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

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.

This printer is awesome. First 3d printer for me and it blew me away how fun it is to print stuff out. But even more shocking was how brain dead easy and rock solid reliable Bambu Lab has made this printer. I have almost 0 problems (and I am a complete newbie). The one or 2 minor things have been all my fault. If you at all like creating things, get this and don't look back!

I don't remember which YouTuber it was that recommended Bambu Lab to me first but I do remember that it was SuperFastMatt that said something like "you want a 3D printer to support your hobby - you don't want the 3D printer to *be* the hobby" and man, truer words were never spoken. This thing prints what I want, correctly, the first time, every time. The only issue I ever had with a print failing was when I attempted to use a roll of filament I'd had in my old crummy printer for a few years and I wanted to see if it was still good (it was not). The only thing I'd change is I'd probably have gotten one that natively supports ABS - I see people online saying you can get one of these in a little heated tent and that it'll work - but that comes dangerously close to 3D printing becoming the hobby again. I'm happy enough for now with PLA & PETG so I'll stick with this little guy & I'd recommend it to anyone else who asks.

Excellent quality fast easy setup tons of support. Fast and reliable.

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

I'm new to 3D printing and this was a wonderful choice for a beginner. User friendly. Great tutorials and learning tools. Presets and more! I've loved learning on this machine. The ability to print multiple colors with the AMS is the icing on the cake. I'm going to run this work horse ragged. Thank you Bambu!

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.
