FAQ

What materials can the Bambu A1 3D print?

The Bambu Lab A1 3D Printer is ideal for extruding PLAPETG, Flexibles [TPU, TPE], and PVA.


Can the Bambu A1 3D printer extrude more advanced filaments?

While the Bambu Lab A1 can technically extrude other filaments like ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon / PA, and composites (like NylonX), it is not recommended because the A1 does not come equipped out of the box to succeed with these materials.

To print these materials, consider the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon or Bambu Lab X1E instead.


Can I enclose the Bambu A1?

It is NOT recommended to enclose the Bambu Lab A1 3D Printer.

If you desire an enclosed FDM 3D printer, check out the Bambu Lab P1S, Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, or Bambu Lab X1E.


Can I use the Bambu AMS on the A1?

No. The AMS is incompatible with the Bambu Lab A1. Use the AMS Lite for multi-color 3D printing with the Bambu Lab A1 3D printer.


Can I use multiple Bambu AMS Lite units with a single Bambu Lab A1 for up to 16 color prints?

No. The Bambu A1 can only support one AMS Lite, meaning a maximum of 4 colors.

If you desire the optional capability to print over 4 colors, check out the Bambu Lab P1S, Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, or Bambu Lab X1E.
