Picked one up to dip my toe into multi colored printing. I'm getting the death star poop catcher queued up on the N4 as I type this. Thanks for the great model!
I printed that same file from Nikko I love his models
It is a nice machine. I dont do a lot of Multi color and do have a P1S combo. If i end up getting one it will just be the printer itself as a production printer . Im loving using Creality Print with my K1 Max and Ender 3 V3 KE. Id use this in the same way with my P1S with Orca. Nice review ! I hope one day to be large enough a reviewer to work with Bambu 😉
So i recommend getting the spool holder from the other one to put and clamp on top of those tubes.

I'm assuming full review is delayed by the recall. Do you intend to put out a PSA for owners of the A1 to help avoid anyone's house getting burned down, or worse? I know Bambu have been trying to get the information out, but i am still seeing a lot of people commenting on it in a way that suggests a lot of people are not aware that Bambu have said that A1 owners should not use it until the safety issues have been resolved.
Lord, I may have to buy one this week just so I could print the Little Debbie gift box before Christmas!!!
Wondering how you all think this would do at printing multiple material types in one go, like building something rigid with flexible/rubber material between then back to ridgid? Color is neat, but being able to build objects with a blend of material attributes is way more fascinating.
Nice first thoughts video. I love that you mentioned having extra nozzles. That seems to be a luxury these days. 😂😉

Great review :) What filaments were used in the potion bottle print? They both look really nice!
Curious series of releases from Bambu... though perhaps Prusa loosing most of their market share is the point of these printers. Amazing how quickly Bambu has popped up while looking completely legit. US warehouses. Cheap parts. Etc. If they stay this dominant, I just hope all that continues. I don't see how other mid teir printers could stand up to the value here, outside of large format machines.
Thank you for this superb video, I think I will pre-order this machine without a doubt, on the other hand is the top X bar strong enough to accommodate the AMS Lite? thank you for everything ..... 👍

Just got a ender 3 v2 pro like a few weeks ago for $60 and I think I might upgrade to the a1 which looks like the perfect printer for my uses.
I've had the same printing issues on my Ender 3 v2 with the weird lines in it. Once I put it in an insulated enclosure it resolved the issues for me.
Great video, what do you think is better? This Bambulab A1 or Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus?
its interesting hearing that style called bedslingers, but i think i like them called that over their other pervious names.
Thanks for the well-designed poop buckets! Could the bending/seamlines be due to poor bed adhesion?
I just bought and setup my first fdm printer after using a resin printer for a year, the FDM is an aquila x2, one day I want to get a bambu
Great video thank you so much for the review. I could not find the link for the poop bucket without the hole..lol
Great video Clayton, been eating a lot of those X Mas trees this year.
Thanks, printing the poop chute now. Can you please add a link for the top rail mod that holds the ams above the machine?
Try printing a 2-inch tall cable bracket to mount to the top of the gantry frame for supporting the filament tubes.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the ENDER 3 V3 KE vs this Printer. Thank you for this video!
Great video. Any idea of how much depth the printer needs in order to move properly? Concern about the real estate needed since I am very much limited in its location. Thank you!
Question: In terms of capabilities, can the multiple feeders be used to automatically switch filament when one feed's run stops? I would think this would be a great way to handle larger print jobs when you have limited filament left on a roll... just let it run out and the printer could switch to a secondary roll (potentially of the same kind of filament). Curious if this can be done automatically with the A1.
I'm seriously considering it now. The mini didn't excite me much; the K1 I have is like every 3d thing I print fails, so this just looks perfect.
While I’m out of the market for a bed slinger, these are tempting especially if those ports on the back mean multiple AMS lites can be used. I can see having one of these in the shop so I could do multi color printing and as a backup/spare to go along my x1c, p1p and p1s printers as well as what ever printer I decide I’m going to move forward with for a large format printer. I was hoping beyond all hope that we would see a bigger core xy this year but now I’m afraid it will be another year.

@@UncleJessy I dunno. SaaS in design may work for an Enterprise company, but for 1-5 person in-house shop may be too spicy over the long haul. It's easy to forget an automatic monthly debit but after five years, you've dropped $1500. And it's highly unlikely you will be able to depreciate it, as the costs pertain to project in development. So it's an expense. As for Bambu, the X1 and P1P went directly after Prusa's machines. Now the bedslinger form is after Creality's market.
The p1s needs this style of print head and screen
I just got my A1 mini combo a few days ago to go along the side of my ender 2 pro. Now I'm thinking about ordering the A1 to replace my ender 5 because the mini has been awesome lol. Will the ams lite from my A1 mini work on this new A1? I assume it would right?
I'm new to 3d printing and I just got this same setup at home. I downloaded the little debbie cake tree and tried opening it in bambu studio and I lost all of the coloring. Do I have to try to color this myself? UncleJessy, were you able to open the .3MF file for the little debbie cake inside bambu studio already fully colored? Thank you
Looks great but I think I'll just wait for them to put out a large format version. I'm all in team resin and don't really have a need or desire for another FDM printer unless it's a large format version of this.
I don’t know how long content creators need to review anything if 2 weeks are not enough. Cmon uncle.
I ordered one this morning 🤣 i am going to need your poop bucket
Did you get a chance to try the AMS Lite mounted on top of the printer?
This looks like a good 2nd printer for me, as I just want the option to print in multi color, but generally don't need to print materials like abs in multi color. Just pla basically.
@shawnhicks619

Just what I was thinking, however limited to only 4 colors is a drawback. Hopefully those extra ports indeed mean up to 12 rolls of filament. I also don’t do multicolor prints but if I did I already know I’d want more then 4 colors for most things I print.
Great video! Thanks! My real question is that there has been conflicting reports that the A1 can OR cannot go up to 100C (for ABS) and one channel even said that the bed itself can only accommodate 80C temps… care to clarify? Again, thanks!!!
can you use any filament roles that you want to on it or is it specific to certain roles?
I see everyone talking about the combo, but for a hobby printer, do I really need the AMS?
What filament is that purple on the beginning of the video? It looks cool
Is it easy to disconnect and reconnect the AMS lite for running with single material most prints and only bringing it out for multi material prints? Asking for us with space problems and keeps the printer in a cabinet when not printing
Díky!
What else should I purchase from the website while I order the a1? Extra parts other things?
Do you know or have the link for the top mount AMS, want to have the parts ready to go when I receive the combo. TIA
Which one is better this or the p1p?
Hey Uncle Jessy, I was just wondering if you still used any of your Elegoo's?
omg what filaments did u use for the potion bottle????
Would you say this A1 is a step up in ability to print quality over the Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo?
9:42 check if you see this line in the slicer too. If you are seeing it in the slicer, I think I know what it is... You might need to view the model from top and bottom to see it though, so make sure you rotate it to check it from different angles to if you see it.
Bought one. Just printed Benchy. Almost perfect. However when I put Benchy in the water it immediately capsized.
What type of filaments will this printer print? PETG? ABS? Or just PLA?
FYI, site shows A1 as available by itself, or a combo with the AMS lite.
I'm honestly a little sad I bought an A1 mini, when I could have got a regular A1. I suppose I could have guessed based on the nomenclature... Dont get me wrong, I love the A1 mini, but I bought a P1S on blackfriday because of the build volume. It would have been nice to know I could have bridged the gap with just the A1
I’m going to wait for the A1 max. I just threw my Neptune 4 max in the trash and regret selling my Neptune 3 max that was working great.
Impressive machine. Wish there was a way to hook up the AMS to a Neptune 4 max........ Elegoo!!! Catch up!!! lol
Ughhh just bought the Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus. Sure this is smaller but near perfect prints and not constantly adjusting a printer is a nice sell and its only $50 more than the P4 Plus. If I have a lot of issues the P4 Plus is going back to newegg and i'll pick this up.
What Patreon Level do I need to download Neptune 4 Plus profiles? I am currently Niece and Nephew Club and it just says can not download this file after it zips them. Thanks
Behind the third port that you mentioned there is inside nothing. Only two add-ons can be added.
I just bought an a1 but I couldn’t afford the ams lite is there anyway I could use a normal ams?

I began fdm journey with ender 2 v3 and hated the experience. I'm debating on trying again. I can't decide between A1 and P1P. I want the prints to be the hobby and not the printer. I have all of elegoos resins printers, but heard the neptune requires more work than I may want to get into.
Gosh i just got my k1 max almost a month ago and i really would love some multi color filament prints i li e my k1 max its great but idk, shoukd i wait until a 3rd party multi color filamenet system is compatible with the k1 series or get a a1 or a1 mini
Every time I switch locations with my X1C, I have to re-bind to my account. Not fatal, but seems to be an unnecessary hassle. It would be nice if it kept track of a few locations as well as the owner account on these networks.
But would this be better than the k1 max? Or the P1S?
the only issue I take with these is, they are bed slinger (Cartesian style) printers so they take up more space depth wise. Like the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max is a great printer, and I love the one I have but it commands 3ft of space to clear that massive bed. Where my Voron 2.4 350 takes up its 2ft of space and isn't getting any bigger LOL. I would like to see from Bambu would be a 350mm build X1 or P1 or other lettered core X/Y printer. Doing a 300mm wouldn't really make that much of a difference over there 250's already, but making a 100mm jump in size would be what people want.
What ever happened to printing the lifesize Magneto?
This looks great, but there is one question I never see answered: How much physical space will I need to place this on a table? Also, as a new to filament user, I'm also assuming that I really don't need the AMS right now, how worthwhile is it to have the ability to use other types of filament - ABS, PET, PC, PA, Carbon Fiber, etc? The difference other than in price between this and the XI is the filament you can use. Also, I know out of the box how much desk space I need for the X1 Carbon. I love how easy it is to swap hot ends, too.

I don't really get the "hate" for the interface on the P series as you can pretty much do everything needed via other software. I like what that new Ankermake did to reduce pricing; have NO digital interface, they suggest using an old smart phone or other device to control it.

If you turned off the option of active flow control (its a new option) you are not going to have the problem again with the corners
Free A1s for (almost) everyone 😅 AMS excluded, it just feels like a Klipper bedslinger or M5C with old phone as a display, despite all the hype.
If it poops off to the side why do you have a color changing tower
So I have a P1S for fast prints and anything that needs an enclosure and a Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus for bigger things (but it feels soooo slow). I would like to get a faster printer, not needing an AMS (for now) and don't need an enclosure. Would you go for the P1P or the A1 and why? Many thanks
