Why We Recommend the Bambu Lab A1 Combo for 3D Printing

If you’re completely new to 3D printing and want to start straight away making cool, moving models like our articulated fidgets, the Bambu Lab A1 Combo is a fantastic choice!

We recommend this printer because it's perfect for beginners, powerful enough for experienced makers, fast, reliable and easy to use. It comes with the AMS Lite, that lets you print in multiple colours automatically, so there's no stopping mid-print to swap filaments, which means that your models come out looking colourful and ready to play with straight from the print bed.

Why we love it for articulated prints:

1. Prints smooth, moving joints – The A1 Combo can handle the small, precise gaps needed for parts to move freely.

2. Beginner-friendly – Simple setup and smart features mean you can start printing without hours of learning first.

3. Fast printing – You won’t be waiting all weekend for one model to finish.

4. Multi-colour printing – Add bright details and personality to your prints with ease.

5. Affordable - This is a really good value printer for how high quality and easy to use.

This post is the first in our new series about printing articulated models. In the coming weeks, we’ll cover the best filaments, printer settings, and tips to get the best results every time.

If you’re ready to dive into 3D printing, pairing the Bambu Lab A1 Combo with one of our articulated model collections is a perfect way to start.
