Customer Ratings & Reviews

The A1 Mini is honestly just solid. It worked straight out of the box, no messing around. Setup took maybe five minutes and I did everything from my phone, which was way easier than I expected. The app is clean and actually makes sense, so I didn’t have to dig through settings just to start printing. First print came out great with zero adjustments. It’s quiet, fast, and just does what it’s supposed to do. I’ve used other printers where you spend hours tweaking before you even get a decent print. This one just works. For the size and price, it’s kind of perfect if you want something that’s reliable without a big learning curve. I’m seriously impressed.

This is my first 3D printer and I'm blown away at how easy it is. Right after setting it up, it was printing quick and amazing models. The printer has handled practically everything I've thrown at it. The build plate is rather small but for now it's enough for me. An AMS would've also been reallllyyyy convenient. Either way, I love it. Very worth it.

Awesome unit! This printer has helped my small business keep my product high quality. The speed of the machine is amazing too, really high printing accuracy! Comes with tools, everything you need to maintain your printer, oil and grease. The printer is easy to easy, the slicer is very easy to work with. Great value.

Simply Amazing 3d printed parts that look like injection molded parts I have used 3d printers for 12 years - these Bambu Lab 3D printers are simply alien technology I also have a P1P which has over 1000 hrs of print time with 2 print failures- that’s amazing reliability Just started playing with this A1 Mini and so far the speed and print quality is right there with my more expensive P1P - don’t try to print with Carbon the print head made funny noises which cleared up after I ran PLA through it - it’s printing fine now Ohh yea its quiet as a mouse - great for printing next to your work area - my P1P sound like a jet engine

[Employee of bestbuy] Great quality, easy setup, compact and quiet printer!

My son had a 3d printer on his Christmas list. It is an awesome little machine. It was a great price. It was very easy to set up. I wish I would have bought the Ams lite with it but it is available for purchase. The Bambu handy app has tons of really cool things that can be made which doesn’t cost extra. It is very easier to select the item he wants made and let it run. We only had 1 malfunction where the machine did not make the arms could have been the program, someone messing with it or the filament. It has a camera on it and you can check on it periodically without having to go look at it. My son was able to run something while we were doing errands. The machine is small, but it does make sizable figurines

Amazing little printer. We bought a flashforge before this and it had so many issues. This has been so simple and easy to work. Took about 10-15 min of set up (as opposed to HOURS) on the flash forge. Prints are fast and effective. Wish I would have bought this first and not wasted time with the flashforge. Highly recommend!

First 3D printer purchase. Set up was quick and easy. Quiet (can only hear the fan turning up or down periodically). The app works great on phone to easily print designs/ check progress during the build. We’ve only printed single filament options so far, but website shows ability for multiple colors and will try soon.

Really impressed with this little machine. Pretty much plug and play. I could not believe how fast this thing is. Really happy with this purchase.

Definitely recommend this printer for a first time printer. Bought one for my wife. She loved it and was able to easily use it. Made nice clean prints and was very efficient. She would still have it but wanted to be able to print multi colors so I bought her a P2S. No complaints on the A1 mini.

Absolutely love this machine!! So easy to set up! I would definitely recommend for a beginner since its so easy to set up and use. I boughtbit for my daughter for Christmas but I think I use it more than she does! I would recommned purchasing additional spool holders and lines so you can use multi colors.

Purchased as a Christmas present for my 11 year old son. The Bambu A1 mini is a good quality printer. Both the printer and app are simple to set up and easy to use. Printer comes with only 20 grams of filament, enough to make one small toy or key chain. Additional two 1kg spools of filament purchased separately; PLA Basic blue, green. Overall very happy with printer, app and products produced.

Amazing lil machine! I was scared getting into 3d printing but seen my brother with his “other brand” machine and the things he was making and I got the itch. So I started with this lil one and let me say, she maybe mini but she’s mighty!! I opens the box and got her all set up and I was printing my first benchy within 20 mins! And I had NO CLUE how to do anything with a machine like this! The walk through and steps were so easy to understand and the software and app are dummy proof and let you understand what and how to do things and reassure you that you won’t break anything or do anything wrong! I have since bought another mini and ams lite and today bought a P1S because 1 Bambu has made it easy to learn and experiment and making it addicting because of this ease! Jump into printing with this Mini and the addiction and creativity bounce out of you!!

The BambuLab AI mini was the perfect one to start, very easy setup and it was ready to go. The quality of the prints were beautiful, no issues at all. Recommend it for anyone new to 3D printing.

I'm brand new to 3D printing, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that I might not use much. The whole thing seemed intimidating, but I heard that this model was good for beginners. And the Black Friday price was affordable enough to give this a try. The Bambu Lab A1 mini truly is as close to plug and play as you're going to get. Assembly took about 15 minutes. I then used the included filament sample to print some items located on the included SD. It's amazing how easy it was, and the quality of the print was great. I then got on Makerworld and found a multitude of great files/projects. I've fallen down the rabbit hole of 3D printing, and I am already itching to get a bigger, enclosed model next Black Friday.

The Bambu Lab A1 is an FDM 3D printer that stands out in the beginner and hobbyist segment for its ease of use, speed, and high print quality. It brings many advanced automation features usually found in more expensive machines, making it especially attractive for newcomers and everyday makers.

This is our first 3D printer. My 7 year old son wanted one for a long time. We took him to a local 3d printer lab to get the basics and finally took the plunge with the Bambu mini a1. In short, we couldn't be happier. Printer was easy to setup. We followed the instructions which were pretty straight forward. Took about 20 minutes from unpack to printing. It is not difficult but take your time. The printer came with everything needed to setup and print. It even had a test filament that was white to try. We have printed maybe a dozen items in the first week. Printing is easy for beginners. The bambu printer has an app with a creator community. There are tons of free plans to print. Just search and print compatible items. Super easy. We printed articulated dragons, ps5 controller holders and some dummy action figures. So far only one print failed. The printer levels and tests itself every print and is very solid. Watch youtube videos to learn how to change filament colors. Its not hard but takes some learning. The machine also allows for up to 4 colors prints but you need the additional accessory. For next level you can download bambu labs and build your own or edit existing prints. I haven't dove too far into this but it is early.

Wonderful little printer. We all enjoy it. We find something to print daily. So far it works very well, smooth & quality is undeniable. My toddler is always excited to see what is printing & we able to print some cool toys for him. Great value & easy to use, can control from app in your phone.

I love this printer. I had a creality and wasnt a fan of it at all but this one takes the cake for sure. It has been running nonstop since i got it in November. Ive had a ton of perfect prints and i love the auto bed leveling feature.

This was a Christmas present for the kids and our first 3D printer. It does not take up a lot of room and impressive app/quality/speeds. Glad we chose this brand!
