Bambu Labs

5.0

"Bambu has consistently the best quality and success when printing."

"Bambu Lab A1 mini or A1 with 0.2mm nozzle and Sunlu PLA Meta get great results."

"Honestly, either of Bambu Labs' A1 line or Prusa's MK4S or Mini are probably your best bet."

"As others have said, Bambu A1 is amazing for FDM."

"If you are a beginner, A1 mini would be best, relatively small investment to learn the tricks of printing minis."

"Bambu Labs A1. No contest."

"You can get a Bambu Lab A1 mini for $200 right now and they are truly plug and play."

"If you're a beginner and willing to spend $250+, just get an A1 mini or a regular A1 as it's literally stupid proof."

"The Bambu A1 Mini is 200 right now, it's the best you can get at the price."

"I also recommend the Bambu A1/A1 Mini. I got an A1 not long ago and I'm very happy with it."

"Get a color laser jet if you can. They’re more expensive up front but you’ll save so much on the toner compared to an inkjet printer."
