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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
