Got a Bambu Lab A1 Mini what I've learned

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.

@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.
