I watched the whole review and I noticed a few things that you need to work on: 1) You didn’t say it is the best printer ever. I checked with the other reviewers and the general consensus is that it is indeed the best printer ever. 2) You didn’t tell me to buy it at least 3 times. Your sales pitch at 13:20 confused me. I need you to tell me something like “buy it now before supplies run out.” 3) You actually used the machine. 3D printers are incredibly wasteful devices, and produce plastic waste that is harmful to the environment. Please refrain from using the printer in your next review. Other than those small complaints, this is an excellent video. Final grade for this video assignment: #badshill

@LostInTech3D 9 месяцев назад

1) I'm futureproofing. Got to leave some headroom for the next printer that will be the slightly better printer ever. 2) yes, sorry. Will improve next time 3) I'm using it so you don't have to lol

@exasperated 8 месяцев назад

One of the (several) things worrying me about this is the lack of replacement parts. Sure Bambu have various bits for sale, but metal wheels on metal rails will wear, and I see no sign of those being available. This has me thinking these are a consumer/ disposable unit, that once worn out is only fit for scrap as people won't be able to buy the necessary parts. So while it may be better designed, better built, than your average Ender 3 typed machine, it's a lot less long lived. Unless Bambu eventually make the full range of spares available.

@theo3888 8 месяцев назад

Well if its not a board problem ( just mechanical) i se the following options Rails - just replace them with 3d party ones and make an adapter, it s not like they are serialized Thermistor - a) get one with the same values b) any thermistor plus arduino and digital potentiometer for interpretation (so the board still reads the same values) Anything that s not board related can be fixed i think

@AndrewAHayes 9 месяцев назад

On launch day I had 15 A1 reviews all in a line in my notifications, I did not watch one of them, I bought an X1 Carbon and AMS a couple of weeks ago and although having a few problems with errors relating to not being able to wind back and load filament by the AMS the experience has been a goodish one instead of the perfect one I had been led to believe by reviews and users on Reddit. of course it is entirley possible that I got a Friday printer!

@LostInTech3D 9 месяцев назад

nope that is consistent with my experience with the AMS, especially with third party reels. It is fine because it waits for you to resolve it, but it's something I would 100% have mentioned in a review if I'd ever done one. Multi material systems are rarely perfect, I guess this iteration is more reliable than the last but I am sure it will find ways to tangle given long enough.

@@LostInTech3D I guess I shall have to build a respooler and buy some Bambu spools of filament, so I can put third party filament on them when they are empty.

@christian_U81 9 месяцев назад

I bought this over the p1S , if you going P1 it need to be the P1P

@henninghoefer 9 месяцев назад

The question is more about what materials you want to print. If you don't want to print ABS/ASA/PA etc. (which warp terribly without an enclosure), then I think the A1 is pretty much as good. The P1S just is a little faster and gives you more options (for example, I bought a second AMS because I'm too lazy to swap spools - you can't do that with the A-series models).

@crowguy506 9 месяцев назад

The ams lite is much better than the standard ams. It’s both over complicated and fragile. My four ams units are in constant need of attention even with just pla. My lite just works. The best part is no part. And the protection is very limited.

@mrs5850 9 месяцев назад

The "wheels" should be clean indeed, but lubrication (except for the axle of the wheel) should not be needed as it roles over the bar (or whatever to call it).

@OrlanDave 9 месяцев назад

Stupid question, because know. my Geeeetech A20 in theory can print with 2 colors if it ever worked, and used a purge tower to cleanly change colors or materials (in theory), but it did not have a poop chute. If this printer extrudes filament with the goal of switching from one, to the next filament, why does it still need a purge tower? I'm thinking those to the same thing, I assume I'm wrong in thinking that (at least a little).

@LostInTech3D 9 месяцев назад

the geeeeeeetech has two entry points to the heat block so it simultaneously has both filaments melted close to the (very short) nozzle - which is why it's so prone to clogging. By completely retracting one filament before pushing another in, bambu type systems avoid that. But the price is they have to purge way more filament out because the single long heat break is full of the stuff, and the nozzle is significantly longer.

@OrlanDave 9 месяцев назад

@@LostInTech3D Right, I mostly understand that, but what I mean is since the filament is purged, why does it still need a purge block? Seems redundant, or do those not perform the same function?

@BennyTygohome 9 месяцев назад

The print quality looks good on your A1 prints. But looking at some other review videos there seems to be a weird layer shift line consistently appearing. Have you seen anything like that in your prints with the A1? I really like this printer and I'm deciding between it and A1 Mini. I'd choose the larger if it consistently has great quality prints. The mini using linear rails and bearings on Y axis vs steel wheels on the larger A1 and I'm wondering if that contributed to occasionally layer shift lines. Or perhaps the A1 just needs a better firmware update? Or maybe those other reviews didn't tighten the frame properly 😄 So how would you rate the print quality of this A1? Any weird or consistent artifacts or lines showing up in prints? THANKS!

@LostInTech3D 9 месяцев назад

I've not yet had chance to watch other peoples vids but nothing of that sort here at all, did it coincide with a change in layer geometry? Pretty sure I would have caught something like that on the larger parts of the jet engine.

@BennyTygohome 9 месяцев назад

@@LostInTech3Di went back and rewatched the other reviewer videos and it may have partly been my eyes playing tricks from reflective lighting on some of their prints. There were some issues one guy had with banding with silk pla, but i think it was just his specific filament roll because his other prints looked great. Another guy had issues with inadequate cooling on some prints and the pla globbing on rounded corners. Maybe just needed to adjust a few variables. Might just have been a few isolated circumstances. I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on this A1 and getting it after the new year. Thanks! ✌️

This is what happening when a technology starts to become mainstream and focused on customer's demands rather than educate the market. The Bedslinger is a stereotype of 3D printing. This is how a "proper" 3Dprinter should looks like. It does not matter if its more expensive to make them half as reliable than a coreXY, this is what people knows no to nothing about 3D printing and they are willing to pay certain amount. The price as well also positioned like that. This printer is nothing but a perfect product of an expensive marketing research.
