In reality, it's probably like 30 minutes to get in running if you want to achieve excellent printing results from the beginning. I also recently got an A1 mini (no combo). It's only really ready to print after calibration, which also takes a good 15 minutes (As you see in the video: 5 minutes for vibration compensation, 7 Minutes for motor noise cancellation). The printer itself is still f... awesome and quick to setup!

5:10 for those following along, don't take that foam out just yet. That way at 8:14 the bed doesn't slide when you flip the printer upside down. Might help.. Might not matter, but might be easier with less moving parts :)

Thank you for a great setup video!

this helped me find the spool holder bracket which I thought I didn't even get. thanks for doing a proper unboxing instead of it being just the printer u unboxed all of it including the accessories

really excited for my A1 Mini to arrive. the setup being this easy really rocks as someone who hasn't had a printer before

For those having trouble logging in because they keep asking for your ph# and pw.. Uninstall the app and redownload from the actual store not the QR code.

Fantastic video. Followed it and I'm up and printing. New subscriber.

My first prints using the included PLA filament came out perfect for the Benchy and then the scraper tool.

Great video thank you

I will be ordering the A1 mini as my second 3d printer. I now have an Elegoo Neptune 3 pro running klipper

I was really surprised that yes, almost, definitely if you don't do it for the first time. And the WLAN thing is awesome. A couple of years (or decades) ago you would have spent weeks getting sth. that complex to work, install drivers and stuff.

Where i install the spool holder i have a big piece of plastic fixed to the apright? You seem to have two holes to screw the plate straight to?😢

How do you feel about its build size? Was it good? I know it’s small of course. But does it feel small “constraining” or small “enough”? I am anticipating mostly prototyping for IoT and miniature printing but I’m a bit nervous about getting the mini. Though the size and weight of the machine itself makes it a really attractive option as an international student who most likely will be coming back home in a couple of years (hopefully by then I’ll get a bigger machine but better to be prepared)

WOW! I have an ender and it takes 15 minutes to get a print to work right and took like 3 hours to set up. I might be looking to upgrade. That bed looks kinda small though. What size it?

Another video says that you have to lubricate? Was this step skipped?

Is that the printing plate it comes with?

Did you ever figure it out what happened to the poor benchy? Because to me, it looks like a failed print.

"a little error", that is a failed print, my first two prints detached from the bed.

I'm impressed because the first print failed.
