Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is not my first 3d printer, and it won’t be my last, but it is certainly the easiest to use. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about a tiny Bambu Lab, but the orice point on it made me willing to test it out. I was wary that there was no network or physical connection, and that it solely relied on WiFi or micro SD, but I got over that pretty quickly. While I’m not a fan that my print jobs can be tracked online, it seems to only access that onfo when the printer is on, and Bambu Studio is tapping into the micro SD card that’s in the machine. Another thing I was concerned about, was Bambu locking their printers to only accept WiFi print jobs from their Bambu Studio slicer - since I’m a fan of open source. Most of my concerns were put to rest, as Bambu Studio is a rebranded Orca, but still powerful in itself to allow you to tweak settings and make limited design adjustments freely. This is a solid entry level or hobby printer if you’re just jumping into the game, or you don’t need a large build volume. If you’re afraid of the tech knowledge required to hit the ground running with this machine, rest assured that it IS easy as plug’n’play or click’n’play. The only limiting factor is your imagination on what to search for. I love that Bambu has Makerworld that has a crazy amout designs that free and ready fro downloadong and printing with a fee simple clicks. Bamabu knocked this entry level printer out of the park. I would buy it again, I would recommend it to others (and I certainly have), and I would purchase one as a gift.

In my opinion, this has the most potential to be the best affordable and useful version of the bamboo 3-D printers. It is very easy to use and set up and it prints very quickly. I would definitely recommend to anybody who is just getting started in 3d printing. There’s no assembly involved just loosening a couple screws and placing the device on a flat surface. I was up and ready within less than an hour. I did not have to look up any kind of tutorial of any kind.

Absolutely amazing, the print quality is great and it is also fast. Coming from an ender 3, this printer miles better and extremely intuitive for the normal person as well. I set up the machine in ~40 mins and got it printing so fast.

This printer is so easy to set up and it’s so quick. The app makes it so easy to send prints to it and anytime I’ve had problems to fixes were so easy. Now I can print little things from my house and be cost-effective. This is the best way to add personalization to your house. And trust me nothing beats the feeling of someone asking where you got a decoration or something and you reply oh i made it on my 3d printer!

This has to be the easiest 3d printer to use currently out right now. Set up was less than 15 minutes, small but might size. The Bambu Lab exo system makes even the most beginner user crank out high level prints! I've been using it NON stop.

This is the best 3D printer for the price! Fast, accurate, easy to use, great quality.

100% Worth it for entry level for 3d printers. Bambu labs makes it very easy to setup and begin printing.

Works great straight out of the box and easy to figure out. Very happy with my purchase

Very easy to use and does amazing prints. Perfect for a first time 3d printer!

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

Amazing printer! Great quality my son loves it and works well with a variety of filaments.

For the price, this is an insanely good 3d printer. Easy use with either Bambu Studio or Bambu Handy with a community worth of things to print. One issue i did run into is the timelapse function only seems to work when you activate a print through Bambu Studio, but i don’t use that function much anyways. Other than that everything works perfectly. Definitely buy this if you need a good beginning 3D printer.

Bought for my 10 year old son and he loves it. It is so easy to set up and get started!

I've waited some time to purchase a 3d printer, with many friends having different models. I made the right choice going with the Bambu Mini (I have friends with other Bambus, Enders, etc.). The thing that sold me on Bambu is the ease of setup and use. I didn't have to mess with bed leveling (after watching friends struggle with other brands and printing lots of spaghetti). I ran through the setup which was super easy and took less than 20 mins I think and was up and printing. My first prints were perfect! One of my friends (he uses an Ender), said he thought I was getting lucky with some prints and not to get mad when it messed up. Well, so far it hasn't messed up and I think he's reconsidering his choice in printers. I'd also maybe opt for the AMS for multi spools/colors. I didn't think I'd care about other colors but once you see the huge variety of things you can print, it's something to consider. I purchased mostly for printing enclosures for electronics projects but there is so much cool stuff you can print! It's amazing to stand there and watch your parts just come alive from a spool of plastic filament. It's a game changer. If you haven't had one, get one. If you have one and have issues/fight with setting it up, get a Bambu Lab printer... you won't regret it. Thanks Bambu! You will help me take my maker skills to the next level!

Great printer easy to use right out of the box great prints

Easy set up and easy to use for 1st time 3D printing experience!

Everything about these printers is aimed at ease of use. Ive been printing for about 7 years and starting from an ender 3 and taking the dive into bambu printers since their kick starter days it is the beat decision i have ever made. Whether used for business or hobbiest these as user friendly as printing gets

Great printer for beginners easy to set up and use

Great little printer .fast , quiet, very easy to setup.

I only purchased to print a handful of items and then resell, but I ended up keeping it because of how often I use it. The support for the A1 Mini is very good, there has yet to be anything I needed that is “too big” for it. Very fast, and accurate prints.
