Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D Printer, Support Multi-Color 3D Printing, Set Up in 20 Mins, High Speed & Precision, Full-Auto Calibration & Active Flow Rate Compensation, ≤48 dB Quiet FDM 3D Printers

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and the Bambu Lab A1 Mini has completely exceeded my and his expectations. For such a small footprint, this 3D printer delivers exceptional print quality, speed, and reliability—perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike.Setup was quick and straightforward, and the auto-leveling feature worked flawlessly right out of the box. The A1 Mini produces clean, accurate prints with minimal tuning required. I was especially impressed by how quiet it runs—ideal for a home or small studio environment.It also integrates seamlessly with the Bambu Studio software and cloud features, making it easy to manage prints remotely. The build plate adhesion is great, and the flexible bed makes part removal hassle-free. For its price point, the value is unbeatable.Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a high-quality secondary printer, the A1 Mini is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Okay, so I just unboxed the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, and the setup? A breezy 20 minutes—less time than it took me to decide what to binge-watch tonight. Within that short window, I went from “What’s a slicer?” to “Look, I printed a half-decent keychain!”This thing is fast—like impress‑your‑friends with how quickly it wakes up kind of fast, thanks to 10,000 mm/s² acceleration—and it prints clean without clogging or weird glops. Calibration was fully automatic, so no more leveling catastrophes or YouTube troubleshooting spirals. And it hums so quietly (≤48 dB) that my cat actually judged me for talking louder than the machine. The only minor quibble? Want multi-color prints? You’ll need to add the AMS lite. But hey, now I have an excuse to say “next upgrade” at least once a month. If you're new to 3D printing, sane, and mildly impatient (hi, me), the A1 Mini’s seamless setup, whisper-quiet operation, and solid print quality make it an awesome introduction to the hobby.

Just got this this week. I’m a beginner and no nothing about 3D printing. This printer is perfect for beginners, it’s super easy to use, user friendly, and easy to set up. I highly recommend getting the AMS combo, definitely worth it. Noise level is low, print quality is amazing. Well worth the purchase!

I got this for my husband, as he wanted to try out 3D printing. It was awesome and he had it set up in 20 minutes! It runs smoothly, has a friendly user interface (screen on the printer itself, app, and desktop app).It works well with generic PLA and PTEG filament; you don't have to specifically use Bambu filament, although it feels nice when used. If any problems occur when printing, it will immediately notify you via noises and the touch screen, and it will walk you through the issue and how to fix it. It's easy to print pre-made items and make your own custom prints as well.The price is worth it for a printer that runs so smoothly and has such an easy setup!

The best for beginners. My son is 12 years old and he enjoys a lot.

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it! I finally feel like I hit a home run with this. He’s made all kinds of things from useful parts to a whimsical dinosaur cup holder for our granddaughter. He’s even made me dinosaur cookie cutters. This is a great machine and the price is right.

Really liked the Bambu A1 Mini overall—super beginner-friendly and basically foolproof. My first unit had issues printing without the AMS, so I definitely recommend getting the version that includes the AMS for a smoother experience. It makes multi-color or multi-material printing way simpler. I ended up returning this one only because I found a better price on the Bambu website and ended up upgrading to the full A1. Still, a great entry-level option!

TLDR: Easy assembly(very little to do), has an app called "Bambu handy" to calibrate, download and start prints.Even has a camera to do optional timelapses if you want to record your prints.and the best part? The camera can be accessed from the app so you can remotely check how your print is doing, even away from home(with service). Overall great printer and I am having a blast getting it setup!This is my first 3d printer. I have grown up seeing hard to assemble and hard to master printers since I've been a teenager.This absolutely blew me out of the water.For one, its mostly assembled out of the box(some assembly required, although its easy and simple if you follow the manual).For 2 all I had to do to get it working was:a: Assemble the rest of the printerb: Calibrate the printer from the touch screen menu or the "Bambu Handy" application (on Mac, PC or Phone)c: Lubricate one of the printers axis(bambu has easy to follow official video guides for a ton of things, your printer will even show a QR code to scan for easy access to said videos)d: Insert filament into the side hole(the one with the tube you had to attach)e: Clean the print bed with high percentage isopropyl alcohol(common requirement for most 3d printers)Regular printers are way more labor intensive, so I've heard and this was a cake walk.The bambu Handy application even has other peoples 3d models to print for absolutely free!
