manandwala Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I recently got a Bambu Labs A1 Mini for work and here is what I learned: It goes through a lot of waste filament You need to print a lot of accessories (such as a waste bucket, cable clips, etc.) Filament snags are no fun. When it doesn't print, wash the bed plate with dish soap/hot water and cold pull the filament from the nozzle. It opens up so many ideas for iteration that you will have a box of rejects but that is where the fun is. Also, all of the CAD modeling was done in Onshape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Moncur Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Thanks for sharing your tips with the community, Mobin! Sounds like you're having a lot of fun with the new "toy" 🙂 @Noah Burk I bet you'd have a few things to add to this conversation, given the extensive printing you've done with your Bambu printer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manandwala Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 @Aaron Moncur It's a lot of fun until I have to take out the hot end and do a "cold pull" of snagged filament in the nozzle. It is great for rapid printing (had to do a battery adapter) and the fact that I had it instead of waiting for a service to get back to me helped me validate what worked or in most cases what didn't @Noah Burk I'm sure the higher end Bambu printers have their quirks (the P1P and X1C) but this my first printer from them and Microcenter is very helpful with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
