Extra features The Bambu Lab A1 Mini stands out not only for its impressive speed and automatic calibration, but also for its multi-color printing capability thanks to AMS Lite. This innovative system makes multi-color printing easy, making it accessible to everyone. AMS Lite, specific to the A1 Mini, supports up to four different materials simultaneously, providing creative freedom without complications. With comprehensive sensors for energy monitoring and recovery, a camera for timelapses and Wi-Fi control, the A1 Mini and AMS Lite together offer an intuitive and advanced 3D printing experience, ideal for materials such as PLA, PETG and TPU, and designed for simplicity and fast maintenance with quick-change nozzles. The Bambu Lab P1S stands out for its “out-of-the-box” practicality, eliminating the need for manual adjustments with automatic calibrations such as bed leveling and vibration compensation. It features multicolor printing capability through the AMS system, allowing up to 16 colors when connecting four AMS units. With an advanced control algorithm, the P1S offers fast printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Equipped with modern features such as filament end sensor, semi-automatic belt tension, direct extruder, welded frame and all-metal hotend, along with a fully enclosed chamber, the P1S promotes a superior printing experience, supporting a wide range of materials.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) YES YES

Conclusion

In comparing the Bambu Lab A1 Mini and the Bambu Lab P1S, both 3D printers excel in various aspects, but the best choice ultimately depends on the user’s specific needs and budget.

The Bambu Lab A1 Mini, with its lighter weight and more compact design, is ideal for those seeking an affordable option that still delivers impressive speed and functionality. Its innovative AMS Lite system allows for multi-color printing and is user-friendly, making it accessible for beginners or those with limited space. The A1 Mini also supports a range of common filaments, ensuring versatility for general projects.

On the other hand, the Bambu Lab P1S offers a more robust set of features and higher print volume capabilities, making it more suitable for advanced users or professionals. Its fully enclosed design, advanced calibration features, and support for a wider range of materials, including nylon and PC, provide enhanced printing possibilities. The larger touchscreen display and semi-automatic belt tensioning are additional benefits that improve user experience and operational efficiency.

While the A1 Mini is an excellent cost-effective choice for beginners, the P1S justifies its higher price with superior performance, material compatibility, and ease of use for more complex printing tasks. Ultimately, the decision hinges on whether cost efficiency or advanced features and capacity are the priority for the buyer.
