    The A1 mini is exactly what I’m eyeing. This let’s me test the waters without a huge investment and then if i feel like it’s worth persuing I can upgrade to something more hands on and flexible

      That’s my thought process as well. Assuming nothing happens that causes me to dislike this, I’ll buy the big fancy one later and then give this to a friend’s kid or something.

          Just curious, have you gotten yours yet? How do you like it? Considering buying the AMS Lite for mine this weekend. Also started using Orcaslicer to help me calibrate filaments - it’s another slicer built on a BambuStudio base but with more features including a bunch of built in calibration tools.

            My a1 mini arrived yesterday and I’ve been having a great time with it. So far I’ve only used the maker world app to print pre sliced models, but I’m gonna start digging in to the slicer this weekend
