US.Store.BambuLab.com[bambulab.com] has the A1 Mini Combo multi-color for $413.10 + $20 Shipping. This purchase qualifies for a 6 months membership subscription and discounts.
That doesn't involve the A1 MINI, which is what this deal is for.
It doesn't help, it causes confusion. The recall is for the regular "A1" and not the "A1 Mini". You really should update your comment to reflect that if you truly want to help.
nice, wish they had a coupon for X1-Carbon Combo

I have V3 SE and A1, not the same situation as you and I don't know in terms of tolerance on printing what the difference between my ender and your ender. What I do know is my A1 just works. Ender just doesn't. I'm saying I can print a part with gears and moving components and needs mating and ender parts just don't fit near as well as A1. Ender works on just figurines and things that don't matter in terms of dimension, but any functional parts I have to print on A1.
The Ender 3 V3 KE I received was missing its rubber pads/feet to protect its base, which I confirmed is supposed to be attached. This caused some wires to get pinched, and an unstable base. I could probably deal with Creality or get ones myself, but it left a bad taste in my mouth from the start.
I ordered the A1 mini last night and am returning the Ender. This is a birthday present for my 10 year old son, I want him to spend more time creating objects rather than troubleshooting the printer.
A1 is a bedslinger, P1S is a core xy printer, has an enclosure, prints more abrasive materials. the A1 has a touch screen display. but i ran prints through laptop or mobile app. so didnt care. both have the same build size. and to me, the P1S is more future proof
The P1S and X1C do not have
Active Flow Rate Compensation
The A1 revolutionizes flow control in 3D printing. It utilizes a high-resolution, high-frequency eddy current sensor to measure the pressure in the nozzle. Our algorithm actively compensates the flow rate according to the readings to extrude with accuracy.
The X1C has Lidar.
I expect the X2C will have "Active Flow Rate Compensation"
The P1S is the most dated. (It is better than the A1 slinger for tall print jobs.)
The A1 mini is a rare value that is cheaper with the latest technology.

I'm in no hurry. I'm holding off my purchase for the re-released of the A1 regular, or hopefully a refresh of the P1 series to use the new techs from A1.
I received the A1 mini yesterday and so far I'm very happy with it.
I'm sure this is obvious for most of you, but for the beginners like me, make sure that you are cutting your filament at a 45 degree angle. The AMS lite system wouldn't take the PLA filament at first, which meant that the printer didn't recognize the AMS system. Once I cut the PLA at an angle, everything worked fine.
I printed benchy and the pocket helicopter in single colors last night, and will attempt a multicolor print this evening.
My son uses Tinkercard to design objects, so I also need to learn how to link Tinkercad with Bambu. I was able to upload the STL file from Tinkercad to MakerWorld, but it looks like I need to create a "Print Profile" in Bambu Studio, which I need to learn about.
This code still works, but it will stop working very soon as it's valid through the 19th.
I finally placed my order. Looking forward to moving on from my ender 3. I might have preferred an A1 for the ability to top mount the AMS lite, but I found out that it's possible hang it above the A1 mini on a wall or a board, so that will work if I need the space.
In case anyone is wondering, the code still works. Just bit the bullet on it 5 minutes ago. I currently have a Flashforge adventurer 5M, but it's not the set and forget experience I want (and it's loud as hail). Based on everything I've read, bambu lab printers can give me what I want.

Did you receive the printer yet? Do you recommend it? I'm waiting in May/June to purchase the A1 or P1S. I was in Microcenter and was so close to pull the trigger for the Mini yesterday. That thing was so cute looking
too expensive still for the print volume limitation, for $460 after tax and shipping, id rather get a higher quality printer instead of having colored prints. for $460, i would get a ELEGOO Saturn 3 UItra instead
edit: i bought it, that color fill option is just too cool, dont want to wait until may for the bigger one and will be $600 after tax for me, too much for a first 3d printer for me
