Features
Large Build VolumeThe A1 offers a spacious 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume—larger than most entry-level printers. Big enough to print a helmet in a single run. |
 |
 |
Printable AMS Top MountFor users who prefer mounting the AMS Lite on top of the A1, we provide a printable top-mount bracket set. These components make it easy and secure to install your AMS Lite above the printer.. |
Multi-Colour Printing.The all-new AMS lite is a sleek, reliable system that makes multi-colour 3D printing simple and accessible for everyone. |
 |
 |
Full Auto CalibrationThe A1 takes care of all calibrations automatically, fine-tuning Z-offset, bed leveling, vibration resonance, and nozzle pressure before every print for consistent results. |
Active Flow Rate CompensationRedefining flow control with a high-resolution, high-frequency eddy current sensor that measures nozzle pressure in real time. Its smart algorithm adjusts the flow rate on the fly, ensuring precise and accurate extrusion. |
 |
 |
Active Motor Noise CancellingThe A1 fine-tunes parameters to match subtle variations between drive motors, reducing unwanted harshness and minimizing motor noise. |
Auto Resonance CalibrationFeatures sensors in both the toolhead and heatbed, making it one of the first bed-slinger printers to perform automatic resonance calibration on both the X and Y axes. |
 |
 |
Auto Monitoring & Adjusting The BeltsThe A1 automatically checks belt tension using vibration frequency calibration. If a belt is loose, the HMS system alerts you and guides you to use the auto tensioner for the correct adjustment. |
Bed Slinger, with CoreXY Speed & QualityWith full-metal rails, a rigid frame, nozzle pressure sensor, accelerometers, and a powerful MCU—all driven by an advanced motion control system—the A1 can print a 14-minute Benchy straight out of the box, delivering quality results while meeting all speed Benchy standards without the need for specialized filaments. |
 |
 |
Quick Swap NozzlesThe all-new quick-swap hotend design lets you pop the hotend in or out with a single clip. |
Camera Lens CoverSkip the sticker—easily block the camera with a built-in physical shutter. |
 |
 |
Printer MelodyThe A1, just like the A1 mini can play electronic music without a speaker by driving its three motors at specific vibration frequencies, producing up to three tracks simultaneously. Upload your own MIDI files through the Web MIDI-to-GCode Generator, and let your A1 thank you with a custom jingle. |
Sync with Bambu Studio & Bambu HandyTake full control of your A1 wherever you are—use Bambu Studio or the Bambu Handy app to monitor prints remotely, record timelapse videos with the onboard camera, and explore new projects from the MakerWorld library. |

What's the difference between AMS and AMS lite? Does the AMS lite work with any Bambu printer or even other (brand) printers?
AMS is enclosed and the AMS lite is non-enclosed.
AMS is incompatible with the A1 mini. If you want a multi-color print using A1 mini, you must use the AMS lite.
AMS lite is incompatible with the X1 or P1 printer and other (brand) printers. If you want a multi-colour print using an X1 or P1 printer, you must use AMS.
What is the maximum print size of the A1?
256 x 256 x 256 mm
Can I use the AMS on the A1?
No, AMS is incompatible with the A1. You must use the AMS lite if you want a multi-color print using A1.
Can I use multiple AMS lite units with the A1 for up to 16 colour prints?
The A1 can only support one AMS lite, which means it can print with a maximum of 4 colours.
The A1 supports a maximum of one AMS lite, so why is an extra 4-pin connector available?
This interface is reserved for future product expansions and/or additional functionalities.
Can A1 print ABS and ASA?
Due to its open-frame design and lower chamber temperature, A1 is prone to reduced interlayer strength when using high-temperature filaments. This leads to increased warping risks and larger warping amplitudes for large-sized models. Therefore, it is not recommended to use ABS, ASA, PC, PA, PA-CF/GF, PET-CF/GF, PPA-CF/GF, and other conventional high-temperature materials on A1 for printing models that require high interlayer strength with large sizes and/or high infill densities. However, these high-temperature materials can be used on A1 for printing small-sized models with low infill densities. The printing results may vary depending on the filaments' dry and wet state, the characteristics of the model itself, printing parameters, and the ambient temperature.
Furthermore, ABS and ASA release harmful and irritating gases during printing. Therefore, they require higher air filtration and ventilation. As A1 is an open-frame printer without air-tight sealing or purification capabilities, it is recommended not to use A1 for printing ABS and ASA unless in well-ventilated environments at a safe distance from people.
Can the A1 print without a microSD card & use only Bambu Studio/Handy?
No, the A1 does not have built-in memory, so you need to insert a micro SD card to initiate a print. The printer comes with a pre-installed 32 GB micro SD card.
What is the maximum size and format microSD card the A1 can use?
The A1 supports a micro SD card of up to 2TB if formatted using the printer option.
Where is the best place to position the purge tower?
Near the purge wiper - Left side (Thus avoiding waste or scaps getting onto the bed or z-axis and saving the toolhead's travel time during filament changes.)
