Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the first 3D printer we have used ourselves and it could not have been a more pleasant experience unless an Oompa Loompa rolled out of the box and sang a song to present it to us. It was SO easy to set up (it self-levels!), the prints are VERY quick, there are no fumes and the smell is minimal. The prints are pretty good; we would be curious to see the same print in resin for comparison. We absolutely recommend this product, especially as a user's first 3D printer.

So far, it’s excellent. Really sophisticated piece of machinery for a reasonable price. Easy to get going out of the box (just some quick assembly). Works perfectly, so far, though I have tested multi color printing yet. Seems like a thing where you will want to buy accessories, but so far very impressed. We got it for Xmas for our 7 year old and he’s loving it. Wants to 3D print everyday (though I’m worried about our electric bill! :). Highly recommend.

The Bambu Lab A1 Mini is an exceptional 3D printer that excels in user-friendliness and performance. It’s incredibly beginner-friendly, requiring minimal setup and assembly, making it perfect for those new to 3D printing. The printer supports four-color printing with its innovative AMS Lite system, allowing for vibrant and detailed prints. It’s also surprisingly fast, capable of producing high-quality prints at a speed that outpaces many other entry-level printers. The A1 Mini is quiet, reliable, and comes with a robust all-metal frame, ensuring consistent results. Overall, it’s an ideal choice for hobbyists and beginners looking to dive into the world of 3D printing with ease.

This little printer packs a punch and does not disappoint! It's fast and so far at this point extremely reliable for me. Setup was a breeze and it was printing within 20 minutes. I've done a variety of model printing, ranging from 28mm to 120mm and so far they have turned out great. The included .4mm nozzle has worked well in a variety of print jobs but if you want small/fine detail then I recommend picking up the .2mm nozzle. I am very happy with this purchase and no complaints!

This was my first printer and I got it specifically because it was low cost and everyone raved about how easy it is to use. I was so new to printing I had a hard time understanding how it prints articulating models joined together already. Setup was extremely easy, first print took about 20 minutes to get going from opening the box. For a new person this was perfect because the Bambu Handy app made it easy to print my first couple objects. Since I was successful it spurred me on to try more. I downloaded the Bambu App on my computer and started making small changes in files to get a feel for it. I am the proud owner of a monogrammed poop chute. Sounds dirty but I promise it will be impressive after you have 3 million little plastic balls everywhere. I bought another with the AMS lite, Elegoo Neptune Max 4, and a Creality K2 Plus. By far Bambu was the easiest to use. The only downside, not a fault of Bambu, is that you will probably outgrow the bed size pretty fast. Now I still use both daily but I had to get something larger to do everything I wanted, the A1 mini is one of the smallest unit out there. If you are on the fence and want something that just works, you're not sure if you will like 3d printing, or you just want something that won't take up a ton of space this is the printer for you, trust me. Also just a suggestion but although the Handy App on you phone is great learn about the files. Work with them in the Bambu app on your computer and try changing settings! It's the only way you grow as a 3d printer. Also I found changing the layer level from .2 to .12 was a great way to make your models really look smooth. The .2 layer is good but the quality you get from thinner layers is well worth the extra time the print takes.

I am a scale modeler. I ordered this printer and I am glad i did. While not up to the resolution of a resin printer, it is easy to start printing using Bambu labs models. I have printed multiple modeling tools and accessories. If you desire to print highly detailed models, this is not the printer. But is is odor free and quiet. For an introductory printer it is great.

Bought the A1 mini to be our "Travel" printer to bring with to vendor shows. Is great to let people see what a part of what we do for our business. Bambu Labs has knocked it out of the park with this model. My son also has this as his introduction model. It is super easy to set up and use. Combined with the app, you can be set up and printing in less than an hour. I definitely recommend this to people wanting to get into 3d printing and don't want to break the bank. Just be careful though, it will lead to buying more printers!

This is our first 3-D printer, and it has been excellent so far. It is perfect for our 8 year old to easily find things to make on the Bambu Handy app and send them to the printer. Prints so far have come out great. The compact size limits some things you can make, but unless you have a specific project in mind, I don't think you'd miss the smaller print surface.

This thing works great right out of the box. I wanted a small scale printer. If you are looking to get into 3d printing for the price point its does an amazing job.

I love it!! Is the best investment I made! I’m so impressed with the Bambu Lab A1 Mini. Setup was super easy, and the auto-calibration is a huge time-saver. Prints come out clean and detailed, and it’s surprisingly fast for its size. The compact design fits perfectly on my desk, and I love the Wi-Fi control through the app. Highly recommended!

Best 3D printer out of the box. So darn cute and is so easy to use.

Love this little printer. I already had an A1, but I just loved the size of the A1 mini. This little guy did not disappoint, I am honestly debating getting another for the price. Best Buy is absolutely the place to buy it too, that Geek Squad protection plan is excellent for these types of purchases.

Fantastic little printer. Easy to setup and easy to work with, very impressed by the print quality and even more impressed by how silent it is during printing. If anything I wish the print bed was slightly larger. If you are looking for a well made, capable printer this is for sure one to consider.

I was hesitant to dive into 3D printing, thinking it'd be too complicated. But this printer proved me wrong! It's super easy to use, and even my kids can send prints to it. I've had zero fails so far - total success! If you're thinking of getting into 3D printing, I'd definitely recommend giving this a shot.

Happy with printing quality, easy to follow prompts, easy set up and nicely made app.

My son who’s 9 loves it! Super easy to set up! And I’m not a tech savvy person. Quite! Only thing is to make sure you realize you have to get an attachment to multi color print things! We love it!

The A1 Mini is so nice. Its very fast, reliable and compact. The prints on it have been super solid! I would recommend Bambu - they just work and work well.

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He is having a great time with it. Set up was easy and printing is easy and fun. Its small size should not fool you, this is a printer full of great options.

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.

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.
