Bambu Lab A1 Mini Combo with AMS lite four colour 3D printer New Zealand

AMS lite included

Four Colours, One Tiny Printer

The included AMS lite holds four spools and switches between them automatically, so you can print multi-colour models straight from MakerWorld or Bambu Studio. Load two spools of the same filament and it will even switch to the backup when one runs out, ideal for long jobs and batch prints.

Multi-colour made simple

Print Colourful Models Straight From MakerWorld

Pick a multi-colour model on MakerWorld, tap print in the Bambu Handy app and the A1 Mini Combo does the rest. Bambu Studio also makes it easy to paint colours onto your own designs, from name tags and keyrings to maps, toys and classroom models.

Ready in minutes

Out of the Box and Printing in About 15 Minutes

The A1 Mini arrives fully assembled and factory tuned. Unpack it, mount the AMS lite and purge wiper, connect to Wi-Fi and it is ready. There is no frame to build and no belts to tension, which makes it a great first printer for home, school or the office.

Full auto calibration

No Manual Levelling. Ever.

Before every print the A1 Mini automatically calibrates Z-offset, bed levelling, vibration resonance and nozzle pressure. You get a clean first layer without fiddling with paper and knobs, so more prints succeed first time.

Active flow rate compensation

Smooth, Accurate Extrusion at Every Corner

An eddy current sensor in the toolhead measures nozzle pressure and works out the flow calibration automatically. Bambu Lab's Active Flow Rate Compensation then adjusts extrusion in real time, so corners stay crisp and walls stay even, even at speed.

High-speed precision

Fast Prints That Still Look Great

Full-metal linear rails, a rigid frame, accelerometers and Bambu Lab's motion control let the A1 Mini reach 500 mm/s toolhead speed and 10,000 mm/s² acceleration. A speed Benchy takes about 14 minutes, with detail fine enough to print parts that click into real LEGO® bricks.

Under 48 dB

Quiet Enough for the Lounge or Classroom

Active Motor Noise Cancelling tunes each motor individually, and silent mode brings the A1 Mini down to under 48 dB. Print in a shared space without the usual 3D printer whine.

Comprehensive monitoring

Sensors That Catch Problems Early

Filament runout and tangle sensors, a nozzle pressure sensor and two filament odometers work together to spot runouts, tangles and air printing. Power loss recovery resumes a job after an outage, and the built-in camera lets you check progress and record timelapses.

Quick swap nozzle

Change Nozzles in Seconds, No Tools

The hotend pops in and out with a single clip. Swap between 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm nozzles for fine detail or fast draft prints, and service the printer yourself in minutes.

Combo or Printer Only?

Buying the Combo costs less than adding an AMS lite to the A1 Mini later, and everything is set up together from day one. If you only ever want single-colour prints, the A1 Mini on its own is the lower-cost option.

Common Questions

Is 180 mm big enough? For most hobby, home and classroom projects, yes. Larger designs can be split into parts and joined, which also wastes less filament if a print fails. If you regularly print bigger parts, look at the A1.
What filament should I use? PLA and PETG are ideal and cover most projects. TPU and PVA also work. Shop 1.75 mm filament.
Can I add colour later? Yes. The A1 Mini works with the AMS lite, but buying the Combo is the better-value way to get it.
Does it need an enclosure? No. The A1 Mini is an open-frame printer designed for PLA, PETG and TPU. For ABS, ASA or engineering filaments, an enclosed Bambu Lab P or X series printer is the better choice.

A1 Mini Combo

So simple to use, and prints perfectly right out of the box. Set up of the machine couldn't be easier with straight forward instructions. If your a beginner and want hassle free printing then the A1 series is perfect. The whole team at Mindkits is super helpful and go out of their way for their customers. Couldn't be happier.
