Electronics and features
A 1080p camera with lighting is installed ex works, but again only outputs a very low frame rate.
One of the main features of the A1 mini is the revised hotend, which, according to the manufacturer, can be replaced within a very short time.
If you remove the cosmetic cover on the front, you have it right in front of you.
The most difficult part is probably removing the silicone sock that is stuck between the two component cooling channels.
Then just open the bracket and a hotend with a hardened nozzle or other diameter can be installed.
Although the nickname “lite” in the new AMS model might suggest a reduced functionality, I can directly refute these concerns. In direct comparison to the normal AMS, even slightly less purge filament is required.

Multi-color printing with many changes is still quite wasteful. If possible, it is worth printing several copies directly. The amount of waste remains the same, but the percentage of the total filament used is reduced. Due to the larger installation space, however, the P1S ultimately comes out on top, as 10 pieces do not fit on the A1 mini.
There are three ways to control the printer: Via the app, on the computer with Bambu Studio and also directly on the touchscreen itself.
For example, I found it easiest to select the currently loaded reels via the small display.
The settings defined here are then also synchronized on the cell phone and computer. If you use the coils from Bambu Lab itself, the correct settings are read out via the integrated NFC chip.
Here in my pictures, the touchscreen looks more pixelated than you perceive it in practice. With a size of 2.4″ and a resolution of 320×240 pixels, everything is easy to see, but perhaps a little difficult to use with large hands.
A useful function, especially with regard to the target group, is things like the reminder for regular maintenance. For example, this message was displayed after the printer had been in active use for several hours.
