Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer $249.00

If you planing to buy Bambu 3D printer with multicolor you should wait. Because rumor Creality will announce it next week.

And then wait months 1) for them to release firmware updates to fix all the bugs…2) and for promised features not available at launch 3) for 3rd parties to manufacture all the upgrade bits you need to make it work properly 4) install and test the 3rd party upgrades 5) to keep telling yourself it was good to learn all these new troubleshooting skills instead of actually printing and 6) to figure you should have bought a Bambu Lab product to start. Elapsed time? 1+ years. I personally own several Creality products and this is my experience, my opinion.

And in what word does Creality make a better printer than.....well....anyone. They may be able to compete on price, but the Bambu is already pretty dang cheap.

I would wait. I have both the AMS and AMS mini. They suck at multi-coloring. AMS keeps tangling because I could not transfer the spool neat enough for it to work properly and it doesn't work on cardboard. AMS mini is barely usable since the A1 mini usually have a lot of stringing. The A1 mini has a lot of flaws by design since it is a bed slinger. There will be much more stringing and models getting thrown off the plate. I do a lot of multi-coloring printing, for some reason it is really difficult for 3d printing companies to make a good one.

I don't know about better, but they can make a printer that is just as competent.
I bought a Bambu P1S w/AMS and (2) Creality K1 Max's roughly 6 months ago when everything got very cheap for a brief time.
All three were ready to go out of the box with standard setup/calibration performed and worked perfectly. I've made hundreds of things and the worst problem from the K1's is slightly worse bed adhesion for thin items (but I do have both K1 Max's on the same hairpin legged table, so I blame myself when they are both running and the table starts to vibrate).
The worst problems I've had from the P1S are a few filament feed issues with the AMS (not really the printers fault as it's more to do with the complex accessory) and a nozzle clog issue that is a way bigger pain vs clearing a standard nozzle every other printer.

Other than those issues, both brands have been great.

As reference:
I still have 5 various enders that are pretty good now, but did require various amounts of tinkering to get right.
I have an original creality CR10 that has tons of modifications and is all but retired due to the K1 Max's ability to crush it in every way. It was great for large format prints though when that was much more difficult at the time.
5-6 various cheapo printers that are in boxes as misc./spare parts at this point (you can get way worse than creality). Don't waste money on cheap printers.

The only one I've ever sold was my very first 3D printer...the SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX V2. What an utter waste of $1,000 and many sleepless nights spent troubleshooting such an inaccurate, inconsistent piece of $hit.
People complaining of creality have no idea had bad it can get. The MAX V2 came in a flatpack box with what felt like over 1,000 pieces and took me days to build and many months to adjust. No piece was flat, straight, accurate, etc. out of the box. The marketing boasted about it's speed as a delta printer and I fell for it because speed was the only thing it had.
Very few successful prints and I sold it for $200 on craigslist and felt lucky when it was gone.

Being a bed slinger doesn't necessarily make it bad. It works pretty good under poor conditions. This printer can compensate for a lot of movement.

since you went through various 3d printers.

which one do u look forward to more?
1. creality with multi-material/color addon similar to bambu
vs
2. bambu's larger printer similar to the creality k1max

at a glance they are going at each other lol. where is our OG prusa?!

I would not trust these videos so much. This one I've seen before purchasing. In the real world, when you're A1 mini strings like crazy and the same filament works perfectly on my P1P. That's when you really see the design trade off between a bed slinger and core-xy.
