    I have 3 units of ender 3 basic pinters for the last two years. I recently bought A1 mini just to try Bambu. I dont know about ender 3 KE but the print quality and speed of the Bambu A1 mini is far more superior than all my old ender units. It is all automated. It is a beast, in a small package.

    he should mention the software as well, the slicer..... for someone with zero or little experience in 3d printing between the 2 there is no comparison, the bambu lab is just easier to use and more reliable, for good result with the Creality you need to download a second slicer, like Orca, and start using that (and loosing some feature of the machine).
    Literally the only pro of the V3 is the bigger bed, in everything else we are in 2 different categories

      That's hilarious. Its the furthest thing from a toy. It's actually one of, if not the most advanced consumer printers (Bamboo printers and ecosystem in general). I own it as well as an x-max, flsun delta, cr-10, 3 Ender 3s and even a original Mendel 2. After close to 10 years of 3d printing I can say with confidence that 80% of my prints fit on the A1 mini. I print functional parts out of CF-Petg. No problems whatsoever. For most people, that bed size will be fantastic.@@anthonylong5870

    Creality : Ender 3 is enough no need for other variant : v3, KE, Ender 5, CR10, etc etc. Want Upgrade? Get the A1 Mini AMS. Those models are the holy grail of the 3D fdm device for Now. Other types or brands are just a waste of money.

      I bought the A1 before the recall and been using everyday waiting on the new bed to arrive. I haven’t had any issues with it. I would wait for it over the mini in my opinion, only downfall I’ve had with the A1 is the camera location and quality is really bad, but it gets the job done.

    I'm going to buy mini without doubt for my 8 years old boy. Bambu Mini practically no need to calibrate, rock solid machine with sensors like filament pressure compensation, size - anyway we never print anything bigger and there's only 2cm difference. I saw on KE from other reviews problems with high linear pressure advance - extruder problems, build plate bottom bearings wobble, z need frequently readjust e.t.c.

    You're too slow!

    I didn't think the AMS Lite could handle TPU. You may want to check with Bambu. I know it's not recommended on the regular AMS.

    • @juryfilanti
      @juryfilanti 2 месяца назад

      I haven't check but probably it is because the system is different... in the regular AMS the filament is going trough the AMS itself, motors, tube behind the machine, tube inside the machine and the extruder at the end, for a very flexible material as TPU is an issue.... in the A1 mini and full size the filament only go from the AMS mini to the extruder directly, the A1 extruder accept all 4 filaments at once and swap them directly with little movement, the P and X only 1 filament at the time and use the motors inside the AMS for a full retraction of the filaments

      Because bambu lab support is utter dog shit and if you have a problem, you'll be waiting at least 3 weeks for a response to your support ticket. If you buy from micro center and have a problem, you can get it replaced same day. Nobody buys directly from bambu lab anymore due to how terrible their customer support is.
