Picked up an A1 mini

Bambulabs just released a new A series of printers, and I just could not pass up the deal. I grabbed an A1 mini with 4 spool AMS for $150


I had to give the prusa back to my son in law, so this fills the gap and lets me play with the bambulabs tools a bit and try AMS printing.
The first thing I tried was coloring and printing a dragon model I’ve had for a while. I think it came out pretty well.



And I love printing magnets


Overall not too bad so far, but the waste is just terrible. Every color switch feels like losing entire layers of filament. On layers that use all 4 colors its really aweful. Speed is hit badly as well. But the results are what matter, and the prints look excellent.
