Selling a lightly used Bambu Lab A1. Purchased almost 2 years ago for $299 + shipping/tax. Asking for $200 OBO. Have some extra filament. Can throw in spool as well.

I'm in NW Austin area for local pickup. Would prefer to avoid shipping it.

Curious - how easy to use is it? I'm toying with getting my 10 year old a printer for Christmas but not sure if there's a good one for him to use (that is easy but he won't outgrow too quickly)

I have a p1s and it's pretty damn easy to use.

same boat, 10y/o kids - curious to know where your research leads you

There is less trial and error with Bambu's than other printers. I don't speak from experience with others, but this was what I figured out in my time researching things. Bambu's work straight out the gate. Less tinkering involved. There is also a vast library of models available to print for free on the Bambu Handy App. Check that out!

You will have babysit a few things if you want a 10 year old using it. But for the most part there's not a whole lot to it.

I would love to offer to have a conversation offline to go into more detail. I can also send pics via email or text. I pretty much have everything boxed up as if arrived to me brand new.

Let me know!

We've got a A1 (with AMS) and a P2S. We started with the Ender 3, which was easy enough for my then 10 year old to figure it out. The Bambu labs printers are even easier and less finicky.

I have an A1 and they are very easy to use.

is this still available?

Edit: nm, I went ahead with a P1S AMS combo. Good luck OP

Darn!

Sorry, yes, it is! I stopped following the post because I didn't see anymore traffic!

my son has this printer and we love it. I use it for really random stuff around the house as well.

I'll just show Claude what I want and have it make the design then have Bambu print it.
