New to 3D printing? Start with this printer!
If you are looking into buying your first 3D printer, I would check out the Bambu Lab A1 Mini Combo. It has full auto calibrations, is budget friendly and compact, and a really great user-friendly experience for someone starting in 3D printing. It can even print in multiple colors, swapping between 4 different filaments all on it’s own if you get the combo which includes the automatic material system (AMS) lite. How cool is that? It is the most user-friendly and quiet printer I’ve tried. I would hands down recommend this to anyone new to 3D printing or wants a reliable machine to expand their print farm on a budget. In my video linked above, I cover all the features and analyze a range of test prints.

My Favorite Filaments
Bambu Lab filament
Bambu Lab filaments are the most pigmented filaments I’ve tried to date. They have an RFID chip that will auto register the filament type and color in your multi-filament AMS (no need to adjust anything!). You can also re-use the rolls and save a few dollars when purchasing filament.
Overture filament
I’ve also had success with several filaments available on Amazon, including the matte overture PLA.
