    Simply Amazing 3d printed parts that look like injection molded parts I have used 3d printers for 12 years - these Bambu Lab 3D printers are simply alien technology I also have a P1P which has over 1000 hrs of print time with 2 print failures- that’s amazing reliability Just started playing with this A1 Mini and so far the speed and print quality is right there with my more expensive P1P - don’t try to print with Carbon the print head made funny noises which cleared up after I ran PLA through it - it’s printing fine now Ohh yea its quiet as a mouse - great for printing next to your work area - my P1P sound like a jet engine

    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.

    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!

    "For the price ($200) and under, this product outperforms the competition, even those that are more expensive. If you don't need a larger bed print, it's an excellent choice.

    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.

    This is my 2nd 3D printer, and this one is amazing. I needed something that was simpler and required less maintenance compared to my old one. This thing is so easy to set up and start printing right out of the box. Love all of the options and or even came with a motor boat kit!

    Definite easy mode 3d printing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Definitely the best starter printer for anyone looking to get into 3d printing as a hobby. The print plate is a little small but nothing that can’t be handled by splitting up with a slicer. For 90% of my prints this size was fine. The phone app is amazingly easy to use and the computer app (which you don’t technically need) is moderately easy to use. I would definitely purchase again if I had to do it again. My only word of advice is to go ahead and get the combo unit with the AMS. Unless of course you know you are going to be printing only one color and then painting.

    This is a very capable printer. It is pretty much plug and print’. Calibration and bed leveling totally automated. Pair with the BambuLabs AMS lite and print your projects in up to 4colors. There are thousands of free files for you to print on the internet and Makerworld in the Bambu app. Great printer for beginners and accomplished hobbyists.

    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!

    My 6 year old son wanted his own 3d printer. After looking at all the kid friendly options this checked most the boxes. All I do for him is load and unload the filament.

    Best Buy had a better price for the printer than on the Bambu Labs website. The printer itself is an epic little thing. I have had it for a month and have had zero flaws so far. I think my money was well spent.
