The Bambu Lab A1 mini is a small, quiet, user-friendly 3D printer ideal for beginners and hobbyists (Bambu Lab, n.d). 3D-printing process simplifies traditional manufacturing by removing multiple steps and allows the creation of complicated structural components. “The result led to significant improvement in rapid prototyping and tool development” (3D Insider, 2018). According to Extrawitz, the A1 mini measures just 385 x 410 x 430mm in printer dimensions and 180 x 180 x 180mm in build volume, labelling it as one of the most compact 3D printers on the market. “Its small size allows users to easily fit and operate the machine in limited space. Another key feature of the A1 Mini is its “Automatic Calibration system” (ACS), which provides high precision and accurate prints for a wide range of applications. The system automatically adjusts the printer's setting, guaranteeing high-quality prints with minimal effort. The A1 Mini also has a user-friendly interface which makes it easy for ...
