Great video. My Mini will be here next week. Cant wait to get started. Looking forward to printing out some of the mods you talk about. Keep em coming.
I just bought my first 3d printer (A1 with AMS lite) your videos have given me alot of good knowledge for starting my 3d printing journey. PS i was shocked when I saw how few subs you have, you deserve way more! Keep up the good work!
Good ones especially the plastic spatula. I made the one that is made to work with the a1 mini included metal blade and 2 screws & accidentally already scratched my build plate so will try that plastic one.
@@jet_lea hey I just found out you can just bend the plate and it usually works better than using a spatula. Also if I don’t want to wait for something to kool down, I put it in the freezer for a few minutes and not only does it cool it down but it also loosens up the print. This is especially helpful on wood infused filament prints which are fragile until cool. These newbie tips would be worth putting on your list to mention in a next video.
Appreciate the self awareness about verbal tics. 😂 "Here" isn't as bad as some videos that repeat whole phrases like, "just go ahead and..." every time they "go ahead" and do anything. THAT'S really distracting! "Here's" not so bad and wouldn't even have noticed.
Thank you for sharing your experience and views on 3D printing and A1 mini. I am thinking about buying a1 mini with ams lite. My question is what four color PLA basic filament to buy?
@@jet_lea Thank you for the suggestion. I bought Elegoo Rapid PLA+ in white and it worked flawlessly on A1 Mini. I also bought the four pack you mentioned.
You should try some designs for the AMS lite for keeping the filaments dry,it’s not a problem for dry places but thinking of long term use keeping humidity is really important and there are a bunch of really both interesting and compact designs out there you should definitely try some out
Love the cord protector, the scraper and the coupler fix. One question which has been making me crazy, where does one get those hex keys with the handles from? I just bought an A1 Mini and I really hate using the damned keys that come with that model.
Question about the storage container mounted to the Z-Axis. How much does it rattle with all the tools in there during a print? Same with the nozzle holder at the front of the machine?
Congrats on your first 1000 subscribers! 2 of those mods were actually new to me and I prefer the spool adapter over the official one from Sunlu since it seems to work with all sorts of brands. Thank you for that! I have decided to splurge and canceled yesterday's order. I ordered the A1 Combo instead to future proof my 3d printing adventures, but a lot of your mods still apply and are the same or very similar to the ones I have selected. Can't wait for it to arrive! PS. If you have trouble with your camera's autofocus, try setting it to manual focus instead. You can then focus on whatever you want and it won't get confused by your hands or whatever else. Only works for those static detail shots, of course, but it can be a godsend. PPS. I'm looking into that ultimate enclosure mod for the AMS Lite to keep the spools dry. Perhaps that's useful for you, too.
Thank you for the tips! I’m positive you won’t be disappointed in getting the combo instead, like you said, it’s great future proofing. I might check out the full enclosure soon!
@@jet_lea You're welcome :) I hope it actually helps. If you don't need them, I'll stick to the topics of the video. Looking forward to what you print next!
Great videos both this one and the initial 8-must-print upgrades.. when I try to print the Coupler Fix, Bambu Studio tells me that the selected printer A1 Mini is incompatible with thi chosen printer profile in the slicer (A1). How do I fix that?... Nevermind I found it. Have to change it from the first drop down to say A1 Mini 0.4 nozzle...
@@jet_lea i'm doing it all from the desktop right now. I will definately have to cut out some sort of base jig and attach to the desk to keep this thing from sliding off ; i was nervious when the benchy printed.. :)
Yes thank you for that AMS universal spool adapter
no problem

that’s awesome, you’re gonna love the printer!

I love it so far and use it very frequently

You are really doing a great job !
It‘s a lot of effort to do this videos!
Really appreciate your work!
looking forward for more!
Thank you!

"Here's" not so bad and wouldn't even have noticed.
I’ve definitely gotten better and more aware so i find it funny when it slips up
brah, the 'here' count had me rolling. Thanks!
glad you liked it!
I have the same bucket but in red!
it’s a good bucket
Lowkey you are underrated. Will 100% print (most) of these on my new Bambu A1 M! TYSM!
That’s awesome to hear, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience and views on 3D printing and A1 mini. I am thinking about buying a1 mini with ams lite. My question is what four color PLA basic filament to buy?
Elegoo makes a really good pla pack that comes with white, black, red, and blue filament. I would highly recommend it
@@jet_lea Thank you. Any benefit in buying Bambu lab filament?
@@jet_lea Thank you for the suggestion. I bought Elegoo Rapid PLA+ in white and it worked flawlessly on A1 Mini. I also bought the four pack you mentioned.
Thanks for the mods list...going to print a bunch of these now for my A1 Mini!
Enjoy!
Great video. Are the modifications files available for use. Thanks 😊
thanks for checking it out!

On it!

One question which has been making me crazy, where does one get those hex keys with the handles from? I just bought an A1 Mini and I really hate using the damned keys that come with that model.
I got these from harbor freight but you can find them at pretty much any hardware store :)
Good pair of videos! I have a P1S, but have been jonesing for an A1 Mini companion. After seeing these videos I want one even more.
And YES, I subbed!
It would be awesome for little prints so you don’t keep the big one all tied up!
Question about the storage container mounted to the Z-Axis. How much does it rattle with all the tools in there during a print? Same with the nozzle holder at the front of the machine?
I've noticed no increased rattling or print quality issues with about 20 hours of printing since install

Hey Jet L. Thank you very much for your great video.😊 There are very usefull things. Congratulations for your 1000th followers😊
Thank you! Glad you liked the video
A bunch of nice mods. One idea is to figure a way to integrate the Y axis cover with the waste bin since they’re used at opposite times.
That would be a great idea

glad you were able to get it to work! sometimes I have to go to the desktop version to select the correct printer :)

excellent video champion!
Thanks for watching!
you deserve more subs!!
working on it 👀
Another great video keep them coming from that UK 👍
That’s awesome! Thanks for checking it out :)
Nice video
Thanks for checking it out!
👍
Sorry to be that guy, bit in the thumbnail the ">" should be the other way around to actually mean less than one hour and not more :)
wow good catch! I knew i shouldn’t have been making thumbnails at 3 am 🤦♂️
Great job
thanks for checking it out!

3:59 what about that white piece above the A1 logo?
That’s a blink camera mount! It’s in the original “mods” video :)
@@jet_lea Ohhhh yea, I remember that now. How come it's off? Not as useful?
@MeepMeep88 I just didn’t want a cord
in the way for the video
@@jet_lea Gotcha, I'll probably end up getting the wyze version. Thanks for the ideas!
I'm in Tempe area. Can we please print something to help bring our high temperatures down????? 114 today, 10/3/2024!
I wish it worked like that 😭
@@jet_lea Where did you get the files to that AZ DBacks (#sad) logo? I saw it in a different video.
Hi, I would like to ask if you are interested in cooperating with an engraving machine or printer brand?🙂
What's the brand?
@@jet_lea Creality! I sent you an email, please check it :)
