Yeah, I have no idea how many received test units but definitely quite a few. It is odd that I notice some cooling issues with the prints since the A1 Mini is running the same toolhead and fan but I did not see this. I will have to compare the profiles, maybe they are pushing quicker speeds with the A1. The tabs is a bummer, I had this happen early on and reached out to let them know.

With the bed confirmed going up to 100°C and the nozzle up to 300°C, what is still not clear to me WRT printing high temperature filaments (ABS, ASA, PC) is why Bambu Lab are saying on their wiki/FAQ page for the A1 that "We don't recommend enclosing the A1" - any ideas? Could it be due to insufficient cooling for the electronics, or maybe issues with softening the Z axis timing belt? I am asking because I've built my own perfectly sealed enclosure (a lot of sweat went into making it) and I'd rather use that with the A1 if possible than pay for the P1S, especially since the A1 has the quick change nozzle and no "no build areas". Bambu Lab mention they don't recommend printing high temperature filaments on the A1 due to the lack of the enclosure (the A1 is therefore not able to ensure the required higher chamber temperatures and also not able to contain the toxic VOCs), but they never explain why they recommend against enclosing the A1.

So, can dry boxes be used with this system, and have you printed using dissolvable PVA filament? What is your recommendation. I am looking to use a dessolvable for support filament.

Excellent video, thanks! Looking to buy an A1 soon, any idea if I can upgrade and add the AMS at a later date or do I need to purchase them together?

Yes ams can be purchased separately afterwards. It does cost more that way though.

Also check out purge into object go to objects, others and click purge into object i always add 1 more model for the purge and save a lot of waste that way.

I have one in my closet but during these cold winter days I’ve been having many failed prints unsticking to the build plate. Seems like I need an non-textured plate with glue to combat this.

I haven’t seen anyone on KZread do a review of the A1 or A1 Mini that is actually geared towards the market that Bambu designed these printers for.

How wide is the printer with the ams light on the side? 🤔 I'm thinking about whether I can put it through the ikea platsa or put it next to it 😆

Anything you'd suggest I get set up prior to picking up the A1? (waiting for them to re-release)

What is the height with the spool holder on top?

If you let the bed cool before removing print I see no need to remove the build plate. This is where it tests your patience 😆.

Do you think Creality will come out with a AMS for the K1?

If you want perfect quality at speed you still need to buy the non- bed slinger versions IMO. And I'd rather have an enclosed AMS to help prevent moisture which makes a big difference to quality. Since I've been using an enclosed filament heater with my Creality Ender 5 Plus the quality has jumped up several notches. I know the A1 is a good price but personally I'd rather save up for one of the other versions from Bambu.

I am not sure what the return policy is like especially outside of the US. Worst case I would think you can sell it locally for at least very close to what you purchased. Honestly if quality is your biggest want you just may need to slow down the speeds a bit. P1S has added cooling and a more rigid frame so yes you will be able to go faster and maintain quality but at the increase in cost.

This is one of the better reviews I've watched for this printer, however, it seems that all the reviews have "omitted" the actual speeds that they were running the test prints. Was this on purpose? Seems that would be valuable information to those watching to decide on purchasing.

@@TheFighterX4 If you go into Bambu Studio, and select to add a custom filament, you can chose from a reasonable list of vendors, though no where near all of them that are out there probably. Then you then chose the type of filament ie, PLA,PETG, TPU, ABS, more etc. then you define whether its basic, matte, Silk, Marble etc, then you can chose settings from an existing preset or generic for standard settings. So far for most any filament I've used Generic PLA, with other defining factors has worked fine. Bambu Filaments if using the AMS, reads information somehow from the reel to setup up what it is, color, and other settings automatically. When you switch colors on the AMS, it purges of the nozzle of the previous color before resuming printing. This many consider to be wasteful, however I like being able to have color models, not a single color for some models not all., However when doing color, if I can do it with a reasonable number of color changes during the print. I will, and Bambu Studio tells you all these details. Considering how much filament I've tossed even before color., and perhaps many others as well from failed prints, waste all a matter of perspective. It would be nice if some filament companies could setup a recycling program to recover filament from failed prints and using color. Not aware of any yet..

I don't think it's really competing with the MK3/MK4. It may look like it, but the targeted user groups are very different. The MK3/MK4 is first and foremost an industrial printer. Not pretty, but reliable and easy to maintain. And it's for people who want to delve deeper into the technology behind 3D printing, with the ability to modify and tinker with the printer. The A1 is a printer for people who "just want to print" without getting into the technology behind it. In this respect, it competes more with the AnkerMake M5/M5C, which also promises ease of use.

The series could investigate the Pros and Cons of resin printing for functional parts, the differences between FDM and resin printing for functional parts, and best practices for printing functional parts with a resin printer. Most of the resin printer content currently available is focused on miniatures and does not address the specific requirements for functional prints such as part tolerances, part-to-printbed alignment for functional parts, and post-processing considerations for functional components.
