In my previous post titled Low End FDM for Miniatures, Hobby Parts, and Messing Around? I received a ton of fantastic recommendations, but ultimately went with the A1 mini due to its price at the time, ease of use, and several other factors. It came in today, and I've already made 10 different prints on it. The Benchy came out wonderfully, and so has everything else so far.

Thank all of you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of the community.

Well, they're MSRP'ing for $199 at the moment if you don't spring for the AMS Lite filament changer thingamadoo. To be fair that's less than several pocket knives I own are worth. I'm not a fan of Bambu at all, but I think you could wind up with far worse for not much less money...

Hey, that's a pretty good price. I'm not a fan of bambu either, but for someone who just wants to print stuff I don't think it's a bad deal at all. That's less than my stock Neptune 3 and probably a hell of a lot more reliable
