Bambu Lab A1 mini
Your first 3D printer, without the hassle
Unbox it, switch it on and print. The A1 mini calibrates itself fully, prints fast and quietly, and fits on any desk. Ideal for beginners, families and classrooms, and ready to expand to 4 colours later with the AMS lite.
Why the A1 mini
Fully automatic, refreshingly simple
Fully automatic calibration
Bed levelling, Z-offset, vibration compensation and flow dynamics: the printer handles it all. No paper tricks, no fiddling with screws.
Whisper quiet
Active motor noise cancelling and a silent mode below 48 dB. Perfectly at home in a living room, classroom or office.
Active flow rate compensation
A sensor continuously measures the pressure in the nozzle and adjusts extrusion, for accurate layers and clean walls.
Ready for multicolour
Add the AMS lite and print up to 4 colours in one object, with automatic filament switching.
One-click nozzle swap
Swap the hotend with a single clip, no tools needed. Handy for maintenance or a different nozzle size.
Smart and connected
Wi-Fi, the Bambu Handy app, a camera for monitoring and timelapses, a filament sensor and power-loss recovery. Also works offline via microSD or LAN mode.

Frequently asked questions
Which filaments can I use?
PLA, PETG, TPU and PVA. For beginners we recommend PLA Basic: easy to print, strong and available in dozens of colours. ABS, ASA and engineering filaments need an enclosed printer such as the P2S.
Can I print in multiple colours later?
Yes. The AMS lite is sold separately and turns your A1 mini into a 4-colour printer.
Is the A1 mini suitable for the classroom?
Definitely: it’s compact, quiet and calibrates itself. As it’s an open printer with a hot nozzle and moving parts, it’s best used under supervision.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Wi-Fi and the Bambu Handy app are the easiest route, but you can also print offline via microSD or in LAN mode.
How fast is delivery?
In stock means delivery in 1 to 3 working days. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
