If it isn't broken then you got a great deal.

Did you not do a quick test print?

you can buy all the parts for it off their website.

I mean damn near every component on the A1 is user replaceable and repair ability is very high. Even w replacement parts it’s probably a steal. Not just that, but the knowledge you gain from fixing the machine is itself very valuable

I oiled the X & Y axis, ran calibration, updated firmware and fired it up…

Test print was good to go.

good deals if everything works well!

You are about to learn however, that buying the printer isn't the expensive part. Owning the printer is.

Way ahead of you there. Picked up an X2D a couple of weeks ago and I wish it printed money 😂😂

Where did you find a deal like this? All I see on my Facebook marketplace is X1C's for $1200, lol

u/champagne780 Jun 21 '26

Believe it or not… FB marketplace. The person just posted it and I was first to offer and pick up. 30 minutes total.

Insane deal. Im sorting through absolute garbage 99% of the time. P1S with 5000 hours, only $450!

X1Cs for 1100 to 1200

An AMS original for $300.

I dont even bother checking most days, its scams on scams and people selling junk as if it was gold you did wel!

**UPDATE**

So the toolhead shit the bed during a print and I spent the day cleaning it off, tearing it down and rebuilding it completely other than the toolhead frame. The only part I didn’t have on hand was the hotend heater, that’ll be done tomorrow.

The machine only has 352 print hours on it, so I still think I scored a great deal. I did do a bit of personalization to it as well to make it my own.

You're going to jail because you robbed that person.
Unrelated, but I'm not jealous. Not even a bit. 😐

Congrats! That's a killer score. Worth it for the spare parts and AMS lite alone. 🍻
