Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works just as expected. Easy to use and simple start up instructions. I was printing 30 minutes after opening the box.

Absolutely perfect for beginners! Straight out of the box I started printing and it's been running 24/7 since. There are tons of premade plans on the app that allow you to print with no experience at all.

[Employee of bestbuy] This printer takes up a very small footprint in your space and the included software helps you start printing as soon as you get the unit setup. My only complaint is not necessarily a bad thing the printer did, but the unit only came with 20g of filament to sample and that isnt really enough for any kind of print, but overnighting filament was a great way to get going and prints have been sharp and detialed to the milimeter. If you consider getting this i’d definitely recommend picking up some filament, calipers, and a deburring tool. These will make your first prints come out much nicer and are a must have in your 3d printing toolbag. Overall great machine for its value and i’m heavily consdiering picking up the matching ams lite unit for multi color prints. Thank you Bambu Labs and Best Buy!

Product was very easy to instal and set up. We make cookie cutters and it’s perfect size for my set up and business

I’m really happy with this 3D printer. It’s fast, clean and easy to use, and it does everything I hoped it would. The prints come out sharp every time. I’ve also been using Bambu Lab filament and it’s been perfect, so I’ll probably stick with it from now on. Overall, great product and worth it.

My second 3d printer, bought specifically for printing tabletop minis. Have had zero issues with the printer itself, the integration with the mobile app is seem less and easy. The out of the box and printing in 20 min is not a lie and quality is awesome! Can’t wait to dig in and define the printing parameters to get better quality

This printer is spectacular is fas accurate and right on point i have own this for like 3 months use it everyday day and i have never have a printer fail on me even on ludicrous mode

[Employee of bestbuy] 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.

Excellent starter or intermediate 3d printer. Or as a second or third printer. Great build quality, results are excellent, don't use cheap filament, though. One issue I had, and I think it was the filament, was a couple of models warped on the edge. It was barely noticeable and didn't happen with better filament. See pictures for some models I printed. It is capable of multicolor models with the AMS add on.

Best. Christmas. Ever. Just ask our 12 year old. Super easy set up, opened up Christmas morning and printed multiple things before noon. We are thrilled and love the quality and endless possiblities.

Very simple set up and user friendly. I would highly recommended if you need to print medium to small size models. The software is also very easy to use and provides many community creators.

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.

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.

Easy to use! We have printed so many cool things already with no previous experience or knowledge really of 3D printing.

Great starter Printer. Easy set up, easy to navigate and the products you can make are endless. I would recommend Thor print over and over again.

My son loves it. Found it very easy to make 3-D prints and use the app available with it. He loves making gifts for his family. When I’ve had a problem, the bambu service was easy and helped me.

This was amazing so quick and easy to set up. It is so fast as well it did a bath toy for my grandson in 16 mins.

Great machine this is my 3rd mini. They hold up as my first kne has 4200 hours. Fast quiet efficient machines

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!

Have had fairly minimal issues with the a1 minis. The small issues here and there are mostly easy to fix. Highly recommend
