AMS lite

Multi-Color Printing For Everyone

The all-new AMS lite is elegant and reliable, making multi-color 3D printing accessible to everyone.

Plug-N-Play

Turn the once steep learning curve into a enjoyable journey

The A1 mini comes to you pre-assembled, pre-squared, and pre-tuned with precision. It only takes about 20 minutes to set up for your first print.

Auto Filament Loading

Full-Auto Calibration

Goodbye to Tedious Manual Calibration And Tuning

A1 mini handles various calibrations all by itself. It meticulously calibrates the Z-offset, bed-level, vibration resonance and nozzle pressure for EVERY print job, automatically. 

Auto Bed-Level

Auto Z-Offset

No More "Paper Method"

A1 mini probes the bed with the nozzle to measure the absolute z-offset. No need to stick a paper as reference.

Auto Vibration Calibration Auto Tune Both X & Y Resonance Before Every Print A1 mini has sensors in toolhead and heatbed. One of the very first bed-slinger printers to run auto resonance calibration on both X & Y axes.

Auto Flow Dynamics

Fully Automated PA (Pressure Advanced) Calibration

First of its kind, A1 mini runs the nozzle pressure based flow dynamics calibration algorithm. No need to draw any pattern or get any manual pick & match involved, A1 mini handles Pressure Advanced calibration automatically.

Auto Belt Tension Auto Monitoring And Adjusting The Belts A1 mini can check the belt tension automatically through the vibration frequency calibration. If the belt is loose, the HMS system will notify you to use the auto belt tensioner to set the belt to the right tension.
Auto Filament Loading Load/Unload Filament With One Touch No manual setting involved, A1 mini fully automated the filament load/unload process.

Full-Auto Calibration

Active Flow Rate Compensation

Print Smooth At Every Corner, Always

The A1 mini revolutionizes flow control in 3D printing. It utilizes a high-resolution, high-frequency eddy current sensor to measure the pressure in the nozzle. Our algorithm actively compensates the flow rate according to the readings to extrude with accuracy.

High-speed Precision

Bed Slinger with CoreXY Speed And Quality

Full-metal Rails, Rigid frame, nozzle pressure sensor, accelerometers, powerful MCU, and above all, an advanced motion control system that utilizes these features to print a 14-minute benchy with quality and following all the speed benchy rules straight out of the box without using specialized filaments.

Intuitive UI

As Easy As Your Smart Phone

A1 mini now has a simplified touchscreen UI system that walks you through all the hurdles. You don't have to be a 3D printing expert to use the A1 mini.

"Have a Bambu Lab among 15 other printers of various manufacturers. The Bambulab is my go to Just works right from the box. Sturdy, simple, reliable."

"New to this group and I just wanted to say that, I love this printer! In the last eleven years this is my first printer that does not need any tinkering and just gets the job done. Reliable. Precise. Fun."

MakerWorld

1-Click Away From Printing

Introducing MakerWorld, the next-gen 3D model platform with 1-click printing straight from the Bambu Handy App. In addition to this new platform, you can always use Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy App to manage your printers anytime, anywhere.

Print Silently

Active Motor Noise Canceling

Active Motor Noise Canceling and Silent Mode can bring down the noise level to under 48 dB, making A1 mini one of the quietest 3D printers on the market, so you can take a nap while your printer is working hard.

Swift Maintenance

Quick Swap Nozzles

All-new quick swap hotend design, the hotend pops in and out with just 1 clip.

Privacy

Camera Lens Cover

Forget about the sticker, physically block the camera with a simple mechanism.

Reliability

All-Metal Frame, Bearings and Rails

We spent extra to bring you the most reliable All-metal rails and cover protected drive system. You get Bambu Lab performance out of the box, designed for consistency and longevity.

Comprehensive Filament Monitoring Everyone knows that a clogged nozzle or a tangled spool of filament can ruin an entire fine print.Traditional filament run out sensor can only cover a limited number of failure scenarios. In the A1 mini and AMS lite, we have introduced a comprehensive filament monitoring system. This includes a filament tension sensor on the toolhead, a filament position sensor before the extruder, and a nozzle pressure sensor situated between the extruder and the nozzle. Additionally, the lite is equipped with a filament odometer. These sensors, combined with advanced algorithms, can promptly detect potential issues such as filament tangling and breakage, and extruder skipping, safeguarding the quality of each print.

Real-time Monitoring You can remotely control and monitor your A1 mini with the Bambu Handy App or Bambu Studio. You can see what's going on even if you're not on site.

Linear Rails

The rails are the most important factor affecting the lifespan and accuracy in 3D printers, as they need to ensure the system's rigidity during the printing process, while constantly withstanding the wear brought by high-speed motion. The A1 mini utilizes all-metal rails, incorporating high-quality linear rails on the X and Z axes, and a all-metal Linear Guide on the Y axis. These rail systems ensure that the A1 mini doesn't require frequent adjustments by the users; regular lubrication alone can guarantee the printer's precision and lifespan.

Active Vibration Compensation

Active Vibration Compensation, similar to Input Shaping found in other firmware, is the key to fast printing. To compensate for the vibration of the printer, the control system needs to know the vibration characteristics of the system, such as the natural frequency and amplitude of all axes. You can set the parameters when the printer is produced and adhere to them. However, these parameters may drift due to environmental temperature fluctuations, changes in belt tension, or even variations in the mass of the build plate. To guarantee the optimal parameters for superior print quality, we have installed sensors on both the toolhead and the heatbed, allowing for the measurement of the parameters of the X and Y axes before every print.

Full-Auto Leveling

The A1 mini's full-auto ABL uses nozzle as the probe, which measures absolute distance. Bed leveling is fully automatic with zero manual adjustment needed.

Active Motor Noise Canceling

The stepper motor tends to be noisy, particularly at high speeds. By using the motor drive to inject specific high-frequency movements into the motor, we can negate a substantial portion of the noise, provided we understand the detailed characteristics of each motor. However, every motor has its own unique noise fingerprint. The A1 mini is equipped with sensors and algorithms capable of identifying the minute individual differences in each motor during calibration. This information is then utilized to cancel out a portion of the noise generated by the motor.

RFID Sync

While AMS lite is compatible with most filaments on the market, it uses RFID to detect Bambu Filament with RFID tag, and automatically apply the best suited settings for them. It also enable you to monitor the filament usage, remotely.

Active Flow Rate Compensation

Unlike the linear and Newtonian movement of the XYZ axes, the viscous flow of the melted plastic is non-Newtonian. The amount of plastic pushed into the hot end by the extruder doesn't necessarily equate to the amount flowing out of the nozzle, especially at high accelerations. This discrepancy can lead to swollen corners and artifacts where the speed changes. This is where active flow rate compensation comes into play. It helps to predict and adjust the flow of the molten plastic, facilitating more accurate extrusion. Previously, we used to print straight lines with acceleration and measure the line's width to calibrate the parameters for compensation - a process that was time-consuming and wasted space on the build plate. In the A1 mini, we employ a novel method to measure the nozzle pressure, allowing us to directly obtain the necessary parameters before each print, saving time and preserving build plate space.
