Recommendations for my first 3D Printer

[neilljj]

Ok so i want to get a 3D Printer and from reading up and watching lots of YouTube videos it seems the Bambu labs A1 is a good one to go for.
Could any of you guys on here who know about these things and print stuff think this would be a good one to buy as my starter?

At the moment it's £299 including the ams lite which seems a good deal.

Look, you are standing next to a can of worms and asking for help to open it.
1) Us lot can’t all agree on which printer make but you can’t go too far wrong with a Bambu or Prusa. They are very capable and easy to get started with.
2) It is highly likely you will get carried away and within a year own a machine double or three times that. Or one three machines…

I have a Bambu P1S, and before had a Prusa.

My first saw my dipping for a Bambu A1 mini. Wasn't long before I was looking to upgrade.

Bambu, from my experience, have really nailed the out of the box printer. Flawless prints from the get go.

Software is decent too.

Go for it.

Without doubt it's Bambu. I've got 4 (3xP1S & 1xH2D)

Unless budget is an issue, I'd go with a P2S (Although its on back order until the 29th Dec). If you need it for Xmas, you won't go wrong with a P1S.

Bambu is VERY user friendly for beginners, as well as giving enough for more experienced users

Cheers guys I do like the bambu lab printers they do look very good for what you are paying and after I put this post up I saw the P1S so I may go for that instead seeing as its all inclosed.
Although I can see the Mrs getting confused and putting her ready brek in it thinking we have a new microwave!

The P1S is a belter - head and shoulders above the other 2 I had, and even better with the AMS for multicolour printing. P1S it £329 in the Black Friday sale - AMS not included.

Yeah I like the look of that one I think I'll get it with the ams as well
