How much did you get it for? Bambus are not normally the “relatively cheap” options haha
I went with the A1 mini while it was (actually still is) $200 on their website. That’s about as much as we spent on our sewing machine gathering dust, a bit more than our vinyl cutter doing the same, and around the same as I’ve invested so far in mini painting.
To be fair to me, I have so far kept up with the miniature painting.
That’s lower than I expected. When I was last shopping for a new potential printer, bambus were starting at around $400. Good piece of hardware for that price, if you’re not crazy into the hobby aspect of printing and just need it to aid your other hobbies. Have fun with it!

Well, they’re MSRP’ing for $199 at the moment if you don’t spring for the AMS Lite filament changer thingamadoo. To be fair that’s less than several pocket knives I own are worth. I’m not a fan of Bambu at all, but I think you could wind up with far worse for not much less money…

Hey, that’s a pretty good price. I’m not a fan of bambu either, but for someone who just wants to print stuff I don’t think it’s a bad deal at all
