Features
What to Expect from the A1 mini
|
 |
 |
Plug-N-PlayThe A1 mini arrives pre-assembled, pre-aligned, and finely tuned, so you’ll be ready to start printing in as little as 20 minutes. |
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 mini 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 mini 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 mini 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 mini 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 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 mini thank you with a custom jingle. |
Sync with Bambu Studio & Bambu HandyTake full control of your A1 mini 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-colour 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 materials can the A1 mini print?
The A1 mini can print most of the materials on the market that don't require an enclosure, such as PLA, PETG, TPU, and their support filament. It is not recommended to print filaments such as ABS, ASA, PC, PA,and PET that require higher bed and chamber temperatures.
What is the maximum print size of the A1 mini?
180 x 180 x 180 mm.
Can you use multiple AMS lite units with the A1 mini for up to 16 colour prints?
The A1 mini can only support one AMS lite, allowing a maximum of 4 colours for printing.
The A1 mini 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 the A1 mini print without a microSD card & use only Bambu Studio/Handy?
No, the A1 mini 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 mini can use?
The A1 mini 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.)
