Not a deal, it's the same price everywhere. The price was dropped from Bambu for everyone. That being said, the mini by itself is $250 which is incredible. Might get one just to have with my regular a1 for my kids to use.

Thank. I guess they went on sale this morning. I finally bit the bullet and will pickup later today. I wonder are they clearing out the Mini for the re-release A1 regular in May? They are not selling at my local MC.

Yeah I assume they are trying to get stock of it to sell. It didn't make sense to me to buy the mini at the old price when the regular was not much more and used the same bed sheets as my other Bambu printer. It does make me wonder if the regular will also launch at a discount now as well though.

My patient ran out after I saw the demo of Mini and P1S. I told myself that I'll buy if the Mini is <$400. This thing is so much smaller in person and ran so quiet.

Mini has too small of a build plate for me and the P1S is too loud to have in my office. May-ish can't get here soon enough.

Which printer are you waiting for? I kind of want a good starter printer, was looking at the P1S but it's a pretty serious printer for a beginner.

I'm waiting for the full size A1 to come in stock.

If you just want a printer to print parts, and those parts aren't too big, the A1 Mini would be hard to beat (from what I've read/seen).

*Edited to reflect recent news*

Bambu Lab just "officially" announced (4/2) the A1 revision on most social media platforms (Reddit and Instagram as far as I know). If you're waiting for the new heated bed, they are actively shipping within the next couple days. Unlike my previous comment, they pushed back the A1 restock to the first week of May.

Same price on their site.

I purchased my A1 Mini earlier this year and love it. It has renewed my love for 3D printing. Highly recommend as an entry printer or for smaller prints.

Anyone buying this, I highly recommend grabbing this drying unit that can feed straight into the AMS.

Also, this plate makes it a lot easier to print PLA without filament glue.
