The A1 Mini is a small and low-cost 3D printer that can print in four colors and has a fast printing speed. It has an automatic material system (AMS) that allows you to use four-color filament 3D printing with PLA, PETG and TPU materials. The A1 Mini is ready to use without calibration and has a 18 by 18 by 18 cm printing area. One unique feature is its noise reduction motor, which makes it suitable for desktop use. The printer also has a metal nozzle, a removable cooling fan, a filament detection sensor, and a 1080p camera for watching and recording your prints.
