    A true printing power house !

    I can confidently say the Bambu A1 is an absolute beast when it comes to 3D printing. This machine is fast, precise, and incredibly user-friendly a true printing powerhouse in every sense. Right out of the box, setup was smooth and intuitive. The auto-calibration features save a ton of time, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate, even for beginners. But where the A1 really shines is in performance. The speed and quality of prints are insane crisp layers, minimal stringing, and reliable results every time. Whether I’m printing small prototypes or larger multi-part builds, the A1 handles it all like a champ. It’s quiet, efficient, and feels like it was built to perform without compromise. If you’re looking for a 3D printer that can keep up with serious printing demands without the constant tweaking and headaches, the Bambu A1 is it. Highly recommend!

    Can't Complain - it's a Bambu 3D printer

    Upgraded from my A1 Mini and made a lot of modifications on this. The only thing that stuck out to me is Bambu made some changes from what I'm used to seeing unboxing this. The allen keys are regular allen keys, no grip with a Bambu logo, no color palette, everything's in bags without zips (so if you have spare screws be sure you have a ziplock bag and a sharpie to label them) and the lubricant grease is a bag instead of the bottle cap like the lubricant oil. Putting everything together was easy, but I couldn't help but notice the slight drop in quality in that regard. Other than that the assembly was easy to put together. The only main issue with the build quality is when I was trying to troubleshoot by unscrewing one of the pieces to get to the extruder it was so incredibly tight the screw stripped. Luckily I have spare parts to replace it. I've already put over 300 hours of printing on this thing and put it through some tricky filaments on the ams lite which worked for the most part. I was so close to get it work between PLA and TPU but for some reason whenever it switched to TPU the feeder will pull out the filament as it was about to feed into the extruder. When I went to manual maintenance, if you let it keep feeding into the extruder it will run fine but it's odd that it doesn't. This was used with a TPU 85A from Inland. Now I've heard Bambu has a specific TPU filament that works with AMS Lite that might avoid this issue but I have yet to try it. After heavily drying some trickier filaments, I was able to print PET-CF and PLA-CF on the AMS Lite with hardly any issues. It gets the job done, prints flawlessly (even the complex ones) and the biggest bonus as always is the ability to plug and play, the efficient speed times, the ecosystem, and their slicer software that takes the cake.

    I got my daughter the A1mini for her birthday and she loved it. But wanted the AMS unit to do multiple colors. So I found the A1 combo and it prints anything you can think of. She gave her neighbor friend the A1mini so they could print stuff together ❤️. Everyone in the house is using it so it pretty much runs 24-7 with no problems whatsoever. The app makes it easy to make stuff so you can just use your phone with no need for computer. Highly recommend ..

    I started out with a new Ender 3 V3 SE to learn 3d printing on. I then moved to a used Prusa MK3S+ which was a big step up. Then I wanted to be able to do multi color printing so I bought this Bambu A1 with AMS. This printer is amazing. I have only had one failed print and that was because I didn’t choose to use supports. The prints look great as well. Great quality.

    The Apple of 3D Printers

    After doing a lot of research on different 3-D printers, I settled on this one. I kept my eye out for the best possible price and Best Buy had that at the time of my purchase. This 3-D printer has been so minimal to maintain or maintenance. My family and I have enjoyed making and creating so many different things through Bambu labs studio. This is truly a said it, and forget it printer without any of the tinkering or frustration of needing to know a lot of intricate details or knowledge about 3-D printers. It’s an Apple like experience and quality.

    It took a few weeks of randomly checking back but I was finally able to catch this in stock and quickly ordered it. I already had the M5C 3D printer from when BB had them for $200 around Christmas. I've gotten more than my moneys worth from the M5C by simply printing myself tabletop terrain but the A1 is like going from a 1970s Charger (M5C simple, noisy, reliable) to a modern 2025 Charger (A1 - fast, quiet, automatic, set & forget). The software is just as easy to use as Ankermakes but it's also much more advanced if you need it. This picture is the first thing I printed, I just told the software what color was in the AMS Lite, and it did the rest.

    If you know anything about 3D printing, you know this is the best bang for your buck multicolor printer you can buy. The only reason you would have issues with this printer, is if you lacked 3D printing knowledge. The customer support is top notch and they truly put out a quality product.

    I use the 3D Bambu Lab A1 printer for my hobbies and around the house needs. I choose the “combo’’ 3D printer and AMS together. And very happy I did. The 3D printer has been working flawlessly since I got it. No regrets.

    The Bambu Lab A1 Combo 3D Printer was a great purchase! I wish I would have bought it sooner. It was very simple to install and start printing right away. I will continue to recommend this printer to anyone interested in 3D printing!

    This machine is all you need! Yes you can buy a much more expensive model, and yes you can purchase a more affordable option. This hits that sweet spot of more bang for the buck!! Its Fast, precise, effortless! It has AMS!! And its has onboard Camera system for timelapse plus more. You really can’t understand the joy this machine brings until you’ve used one for yourself!

    It really is amazing how these devices have become so much more accessible. I’ve been so happy with my A1 Combo, that I have added a second printer (Bambu P1S). The A1 is fantastic, and my only issue has been my filament budget.. because I am printing soooo many things.

    This printer just works. Originally had an Ender 3 printer, and there was so much setup and calibration every time I wanted to print something. The "Bambu A1" does not have this problem because it auto calibrates. Overall, it prints much faster, has higher print quality, and I can print multiple colors. Wish I started with this.

    Hands down best 3D printers. This will be my 3rd one and 2 came from Best Buy. Best Buy has the fastest delivery for these as well along with the same price as Bambu.

    One of the best printers you can buy, quiet, fast and accurate prints. But now with the price hike of more than $170 from $529 to $699, it’s priced out of reach for most folks. The images posted show some mods to the printers including led cob strip lights AMS top mount brackets poop bins etc

    This is my 3rd printer with 2000 hours on the first one so far since November. Minor issues here and there but that's expected. Software is incredible.
