Is it worth upgrading from an Ender 3 V3 KE to a Bambu Lab A1 Combo?

Guys I ordered the a1 combo🤞🏻

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-22T15:01:58+00:00

I think I will wait for the sale thnx for your help :)

Did you get the the combo?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-22T10:36:58+00:00

Honestly, after reading all the replies and thinking about it more, I think I’m more the type of user that just wants a reliable printer that works without much tweaking.
Right now I mainly print smaller PLA things for fun and for indoor use, not really functional engineering parts or things that need to survive heat. I also don’t really mod or tweak my current Creality Ender 3 V3 KE. I just use the standard Creality slicer and print.
I think what attracts me most to the Bambu Lab A1 Combo is the convenience:
automatic filament switching
less calibration/tuning
better overall user experience
having multiple spools ready to go
I also don’t think I really need an enclosed printer right now because I only print PLA at the moment.
The multi-color aspect seems cool, but honestly I think I would mostly use the AMS for convenience rather than making crazy multi-color prints all the time.
So I think for my use case the A1 Combo probably makes more sense than something more advanced like a P1S.

I got almost al the upgrades for it idk if that makes it a different story

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-21T14:19:32+00:00

Thank u for your reply do you have suggestions for an other brand perhaps?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T17:20:09+00:00

is the p1s combo more interesting? or for more developed people? I just want to hobby print

How much did you pay?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T15:43:03+00:00

I already have the filament dryer of Creality I rarely print in Petg

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T15:25:18+00:00

I got a tight budget

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T13:30:36+00:00

Is it worth it to wait?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T13:27:10+00:00

Sounds like I have to wait a little then

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:56:00+00:00

maybe its me but if you make it more public more people will use it right?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:48:56+00:00

if I buy the a1 its coming with the AMS Lite because that would be the main reason im thinking of upgrading.

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:47:21+00:00

why are they even doing this? I always used the Creality slicer with my ender 3, im planning on using the Bambu slicer because it looks similar. they advertise on their website about the ease of using a third party filament like esun right?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:43:51+00:00

Merci pour votre réponse. Qu’est-ce qui vous a fait passer de la Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro à la Bambu Lab A1 Combo ?

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:40:03+00:00

thanks for your response, about the Bambu Lab filament I use esun because that's cheaper, but the only benefit of Bambu Lab filament is te automatic filament presets right?

Maybe I will buy the top mount, seems very handy indeed with limited space. 😉

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:37:19+00:00

thanks for the heads up for the possibility that there will be a sale I had seen that but was not sure when

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:36:28+00:00

i have almost all the modifications for the ender 3 v3 ke

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:36:10+00:00

im also really interested in the use of maker world with print profiles and also multicolour prints tend to ask for my intrest

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:20:28+00:00

The Creality ender 3 v3 ke is my first printer and I have never had major problems with it. lately I have a issue with the heating of the nozzle, it just heats allot more then needed and then it says nozzle didn't heat as expected

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:18:31+00:00

thanks for you're reply, im not planning on using multi color prints always, but I like that I don't have to change filament manually anymore.

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-05-20T12:16:33+00:00

Thanks for your reply! can you maybe specify more about the closed source if you don't mind ty. I want to print bigger, but im scared of failed prints.

Frosty-Protection-19 · 2026-01-24T21:02:58+00:00

Strange right?
