for the cost, it is a great printer. For being your first printer you can't go wrong. You can buy it without the AMS as well if you just want a printer and are doing only single color prints, but it is discounted with the AMS if bought together. You could wait a bit for the re-release of the A1 too that has a bigger bed but bigger price not by much though. Same as the Prusa mk3s+ I have, or the mk4. They are a little more robust and proven workhorses but big prices too. If you were comparing to a similar cost like an ender v2 pro or something this little guy is way better. If you do buy I recommend to get an extra hot end tip, harden steel as well and a PEI high temp flex sheet.
cool vid. I'm about to get my 1st 3d printer. would you recommend the A1 mini?
