    I love how all the mods to the A1 mini look so sleek like it actually shipped that way from bambu! Awesome video man!

      Thanks 🙏 it’s that light grey pla or petg that really helps tie the look together.

    Thanks for posting and showing off some cool mods. I literally just printed out one of the front plate magnetic adapters earlier today. It's a great addition; I frequently swap between 0.4 and 0.6 nozzles so the magnetic cover makes swapping that much quicker.
    I also use the PTFE splitter you showed first; I like that one a lot.
    Have a great night!

    Such gadgets videos are my favorite videos, thank you! But I never liked the small poop bucket you showed, I quickly switched to a system where you can remove the basket and then you still have a poop deflector for larger prints, called poop basket system. It also has a bit more space at the front to throw in the test strips. I can absolutely recommend this part instead of the one suggested here

    • @Arne.Bornheim

      Totally know what you mean. I think it depends on how you use the printer. Something like what you mentioned is also in the Makerworld collection I shared.

      I use the phantom luts by Joel as a base grade and then have another look out on top at like 30% (not sure which one right now) and also some other nodes in DaVinci.

    Im wondering on whether to get the a1 mini with the ams lite combo or the a1 ams lite combo or the kobra 3 ace pro combo. Any suggestions??

    • @Arne.Bornheim
      @Arne.Bornheim  День тому

      I can‘t say anything about the Kobra 3. Between A1 and A1 mini: if you have the money and the space: go for the a1 since more print volume is always nice. You can print bigger stuff and more at the same time. However the A1 Mini is also great. I would so 80-90% of my prints fit on that print bed and I like that I can easily store it away when not in use. Hope that helps 😊

    I love your calm, cinematic video style :D
    I wanna buy the A1 or A1 Mini very soon, but have been stuck deciding wich one to get for months now :D
    Do you think the A1 is worth the extra money for the bigger Build volume ? Will i regret getting the Mini because of the smaller Build plate in the long run? Maybe you can help me decide :)
    ( I am a student, so i am kinda on a budget but happy to invest a but more if its worth it in the long run)

    • @Arne.Bornheim
      @Arne.Bornheim  День тому

      Haha this seems to be a common question. I think if you have the space and want to do it long term, go for the A1 since the bigger print volume does help. That being said the A1 mini is still great. 80-90% of my prints fit on there and I like the small form factor and lower price. So it‘s a bit about which is more important to you and both are great. If it was my only 3d printer I‘d get the A1 if possible.
      If you end up getting one it would mean a lot if you use one of my affiliate links, as it really helps me out 😊

      Yeah i think currently there‘s not much to see from them but andre the creator of swapmod said that they might make something for the a1.

    should i get a A1 or A1 mini

    • @Iceeman13
      @Iceeman13 День тому +2

      A1 although it is more expensive, it is worth it because the print bed for the mini it is only 7 inx7x7, and it only can print 7 inches high. But with the A1 it prints 10inx10x10 and you can print 10 inches high. The A1 is just over all better. And it is on sale.

      ​@@Iceeman13 I'm literally ready to check out and can't decide. I am a beginner. I used a 3D printer at uni about 13 years ago to prototype and it's something I've wanted to get back into. The a1 min is £169 and the A1 is £289 for me just now. Swaying towards the mini since I don't really know what I'll be printing yet and it's much smaller and easier to put away and take out when using. What do you think?

    • @Arne.Bornheim
      @Arne.Bornheim  День тому +1

      Really depends on your space and budget. The A1 Mini is a great machine and I‘d say 80-90% of the parts i print fit on the small plate. However if you have the space and think 3d printing will be a long term hobby the bigger plate of the A1 will always be a benefit.
      TLDR: A1 Mini is great but a bigger print bed is nice if you can afford it 😊

    Cable chains are not purely aesthetic fyi. They are supposed to restrict movement which prevents damage to the cable, and damage caused by the cable. Looping onto something next to your printer, accidental knocking into the hot plate, etc.

    I've printed like 10 different PTFE connectors and every single one didn't work properly, at least when cutting the filament straight with the inbuilt filament cutter... just ordered the Bambu 4-in-1 PTFE connector to make it work reliably.

    • @Arne.Bornheim
      @Arne.Bornheim  День тому

      I know what you mean. I have had some good and some bad results. The ones in this video worked well for me but could have been coincidence. Definitely the one from Bambu is the most reliable
