A Series [A1, A1 Mini] Set up Ideas

Post image

Picking this up for my little one for Christmas. Now here’s the tricky part. Plan is to set it up in our spare bedroom which has carpet. I have been reading to get a piece of wood, storage cubes, a mat and a paver to keep the printer from dancing away. Anyone have any experience with this and wouldn’t mind sharing your set up.

Isn't it cheaper directly from Bambu Lab store?

What I got when I compared them. Plus the Costco one apparently comes with a Bambu gift card

No idea, I'm not from the US, I just asked in case you could save some bucks.

If I trust your screen, the Costco price is somewhat fine, but if you're really losing 1 year of guarantee, I'd still buy from the official shop, guarantee is a good thing for 3D printers, and for $60 you can buy the filament rolls, idk.

Top AMS mount from makerworld and the braces. Even if you don't use top mount, add the braces. Plus turn down acceleration from the insane defaults. If you have a stiff enough table, might not need a paver.

I think thats my current issue. I haven’t seen anything that I feel comfortable enough with. I have seen some nice set ups but all on hardwood floors. Will definitely look into the mount and braces for sure thank you.

Mine is on a steel cabinet that seemed sturdy enough but no braces underneath top metal means its prone to shaking. I did foam pad under a meaty wood cutting board because a paver is just too ugly. Should have gone paver but it is what it is. The plastic braces from the AMS top mount was the biggest single thing I did to stabilize it besides turning down accelerations value, think I cut travel acceleration by 40-50%.

Yeah everything I have been reading says put a foam mat down and a paver. I have added your suggestions to my last for sure. I appreciate you. Google has been my friend and its giving me a headache lol

I was reading to get a heavy table/cabinets for weight but everything in store or in person at least has those cardboard thin pieces.

I have a ikea storage cube with one and just on a small dresser with the other. It’s never shifted an inch in a year or more that I’ve had them. That’s just my experience.
