In todays video we dive into the newest Bambu Lab printer the A1. This is an I3 style 3d printer and the bigger brother to the A1 Mini that was released just a few months ago. We will go over specs, what setup was like, how it has performed and I will give you my overall thoughts based on my experience so far.

    Bambu must have sent one of these to every 3D printing Youtube channel! My feed is flooded with A1 reviews from everyone. This is the first one with any negatives about it. I recently bought an Elegoo Neptune 4, but this series bears paying attention to for my next upgrade purchase.
  • @clenaghen
    I have an A1 on the way, and Bambu now has additional base supports included with the top mount print kit for the AMS lite.
  • Thanks for this great review. I subbed. I expect my A1 to be delivered soon. I can't wait.😊
  • @2LoudTech
    Great video brother. The honesty you have with your community is refreshing. I can appreciate you calling out any cons without hesitation. Still seems to be a great unit. I subbed and thumbs upped. I am currently waiting for my Bambu Labs P1P.
  • @emberprototypes
    Bambulab is really doing all the right things in terms of marketing and decision making. Pretty amazing to see from a business perspective!
  • Just a heads up. The current version of the AMS Lite top mount comes with braces for the Z axis to prevent wobble.
  • @aqhan
    Yes, please! A Hueforge video would be great!
  • @toolcat85
    Got my A1 on the announcement day at Micro Center and so far it's been great, 0 failures and great prints. I have no complaints.
  • @car_tar3882
    The things these a1s have makes me very exited for the x2 and p2 series
  • @jz6373
    I would looove more deep dives into Hueforge. I’m still trying to get my bearings on making my sisters sweet nature/architecture photos translate
  • @RathOX
    this can also do CF with the Hardened steel tip
  • @Smedleydog1
    I still think that mounting the AMS on top of the printer will add vibration artifacts to the print. It has to with all that mass mounted that high. Input shaping can only account for so much vibration.
  • @Jbobonline
    Yep. Hue forge is cool. Do a video 🙏🏻
  • @AckzaTV
    Im so happy with my a1... i just wish theyd explain on a sticker note on the front showing visual of how you should rinse it in a sink with soap and water and a sponge/brush or hand lol thats literally all it ever needs
