Easy to work with, and not hard to set up out of the box. If you might ever be interested in multicolor or multi material prints, get the one with the AMS as it's a better deal and it's really hard to get an AMS right now so save yourself the headache.

Mini but Mighty

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!!

Looking for a 3D printer that can handle your creative projects without taking up too much space. Enter the bambu a1 mini 3D printer. Don't let its compact size fool you—this little machine is a powerhouse when it comes to creating detailed and precise prints. But in all seriousness, this printer is actually freaking awesome. It’s not completely set up list outside of the box, but it is very little honestly as soon as you pull it out, he wants the tutorial video. You’re basically ready to start printing. And you can just use your phone. You don’t have to use a computer or anything. Literally the best printer I’ve ever had.

We love this printer! Our kids love it and have used it every day since Christmas. My 11 and 13-year- olds use it independently and my 8 year old only needs occasional help. It is very user friendly and there are so many fun things to print straight from the Bambi handy app. Definitely recommend for anyone new 3D printing like us.

Took me less than a day to get advanced with the software and extremely convenient. Quality is amazing even using other cheap brand filament. Only downside is you have to buy a completely different nozzle + heatsink if you want to switch sizes. Other hot tips on amazon have a swappable tip and fit in this printer if youre looking to swich to 0.2mm for smaller prints. Recalled for heatbed cable issues but there are fixes on their MakerLab website to help prevent damage to this cable. Ridiculously fast as long as the model you select is optimized. Has a boost mode for 166% print speed and this thing can fly! Really a great bridge into their ecosystem and I would recommend to friends/upgrade someday. Camera quality has been listed as abysmal which is true. No issues with the “poop” wiper and it shoots consistently in one spot. Include bed has zero adhesion issues and i havent cleaned it for a few prints. It is textured so it’ll leave the same imprint on the bottom of models. This is the only plate thats included and others can be found online. Small bedsize but their slicer is great and some online models account for it by splitting them up.

I bought this for my son’s bday and he loves it. He just turned 10 and he can easily use it by himself. He makes all kinds of stuff from dinosaurs to mechanical hands. I even use it for myself lol I made a remote holder and a phone stand for my desk. You have the option to do your own builds but we haven’t got that far just yet. So we use the app and it has everything. You just click what you want and it sends it to your printer no problem. Sure wish I had this as a kid lol

My 3rd 3D printer, and it is fabulous. Set up is extremely easy, 15 minutes after unboxing you can print, and it prints flawlessly. You cannot beat it at this (pre tariff) price. It is a perfect printer for beginners, and a great addition to your farm for smaller parts. And, it is fast! Love it!

My kiddo loves this thing. She's 10 and navigates it's operating system without asking for help, and effortlessly changes filaments on her own. So Far, we couldn't be happier with our purchase of the A1 mini.

When deciding last minute Black Friday to buy a 3D printer on a budget, we saw this base model and bought it. Although I'm very tech savvy, I didn't know much about brands and 3D printers. Luckily, we were surprised to find out that we purchased a top brand at an affordable price!!! We were, and still are, in awe over how easy it is to use, pair to your network & smartphone, ease of use, quality, etc... This has by far been one of the best decisions we ever made.

We bought this for our 11 year old daughter for Christmas. She is in love with it! It’s very easy to set up and use and have had no issues. She prints 1-5 items a day in it and loves to create and make things for her friends. She also prints in white and then colors the item with Posca markers. This provides hours of creativity for her and her friends. (My husband and I have printed some as well). It is good for the entire family. Only thing I would advise is to buy the ams lite along with it and make sure to buy your filament on spools for easier production.
