Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

As a newbie who is new to 3d printing, this was the best choice for me. Easy to set up, great app and it so easy to use. Within 20 minutes I was printing. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious of 3d printing.

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!

perfect out the box, quick setup time and i had it printing within 30 mins of it arriving at my door

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.

So far the A1 mini has been excellent! Have had zero issues with it and it performs perfect! We have printed multiple large items and it is very quiet and smooth.

Got this for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas. Her and my husband had zero problems setting it up. Very user friendly. A good buy for the price.

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.

A terrific 3D printer for beginners and enthusiasts that's both affordable and full-featured. The detail/resolution level is really good, and the speed is exceptional.

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!

Works great! I really like that it is easy to use once you get the hang of it. I did watch a couple YouTube videos to make sure I was doing it right.

Great for beginners like me. Easy setup. Only comes with minimal filament to create a clippy.

Works great and faster than expected. My son uses it everyday and no issues as of yet

Purchased as a Christmas gift to my wife. Everything is as described, it is very easy to use, perfect for a beginner to the 3D printing world.

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.

If you're looking for a small-factor 3d printer that does it all out of the box, look no further than the Bambu A1 Mini. I managed to get one before the price increase due to the tariffs, but at around $250 + taxes this was a steal. Prints in amazing quality with none of the hassle you have to endure with Ender 3 models from Creality. In addition, everything is automatically calibrated upon setup and can be redone as needed when prints have issues (which I have not yet encountered). Definitely would buy another one if I had the room for it.

I dabbled with 3D printing a few years ago, but decided it wasn't for me after constant maintenance and misprints. Turns out, I just needed to wait for this printer to hit the market. It just works, and I've been having a blast with it. And with the phone app, it's like I have a genie in my pocket. While I'm out and about, I'll think of something I'd like to print and when I get home it's magically there waiting for me - literally on a platter.

As a first time printer this thing is amazing, I would know it is my first printer! But frankly the only issue is that unless your working with a tight budget or small space, just get it’s bigger brother the A1, since 3d printing is mostly online prints, you lose so much accessibility by not being able to print to the size of the A1 even if you can print great you can’t print half of what your options are cuz it’s to small. But if you know that and are okay with it, I would say go for it!

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.
