Assembly Instructions
1. Install Build Plate
Install the build plate with correct orientation, aligning the edge with the heatbed.
2. Unlock Heatbed
Flip the base housing 90 degrees to the side opposite to the screen. Use Allen Key H2 to remove the 4 screws at the bottom of the Base Housing to unlock the heatbed. Be careful when fully releasing the heatbed; use foam padding from the package to protect the heatbed from swinging.
3. Mate Base Housing & Printer Frame
Place the Printer Frame on the table. Tilt the Base Housing about 45 degrees to pass through the Printer Frame, using the screen as an indicator for orientation. Align the slot with the Printer Frame. Slowly lower the Base Housing until it is fully flush with the Printer Frame on the table.
4. Unlock Toolhead
Cut the ziptie and cardboard wrapped around the toolhead and X-axis. Remove the 7 zipties and 2 foam paddings on the printer frame.
5. Remove Y-Axis Cover
Push the heatbed fully to the front end, where the screen is located. Open the Y-axis cover and gently pull out the Y-axis cover.
6. Lock Base Housing
Install 2 ST3-23 Screws (For Base Housing) in the highlighted green holes.
7. Put Cover Back
Push the heatbed fully to the front end, where the screen is located. Gently slide the Y-axis cover back into place, making sure to align the clip.
8. Place On Table
Turn the A1 90 degrees onto its rear, laying it on the edge of a table. It is recommended to cover the table with cardboard for protection. Please ensure the printer is secure on the table while following the steps.
9. Plug In Cable Box
Keep flush with the base. Align the 2 clips on the cable box with the holes on the Base Housing. Slide up the cable box until the Type-C cable clicks in place (DO NOT force the insert). Make sure the cable box is nice and flush in the slot, then screw in the pre-installed screw highlighted in green.
10. Plug In Connectors
Plug in the 3 harnesses according to color. Tuck the harness into the cable slot and then close the cover.
11. Fold Out Touch Screen
Fold out the touch screen. Make sure the touch screen is in place as shown in the graph.
12. Install Purge Wiper
Push the toolhead to the middle of the rail, leaving enough space for purge wiper installation. Slide in the Purge Wiper unit into the slot at the end of the X-axis. Install the 1 M3-12 screw from the accessory box to fix the Purge Wiper in place.
Powering On
Plug in the power cable and turn on the A1 using the power switch on the back. Please leave a safe amount of space for heatbed movement (as shown in the diagram).
Network Setting
Follow the instructions until you see the network selection screen. Press "Select Wi-Fi" to search for available networks. Select your preferred network and input the passcode, then press "OK".
Printer Binding
Download the Bambu Handy App. Register and log in to your Bambu Lab account. Use Bambu Handy to scan the QR code displayed on the screen to bind your printer to your Bambu Lab account. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the initial calibration. It is normal to experience vibration and noise during the calibration process.
First Print
Press "Print Files" to access the preloaded models on the SD card. Select the model you want to print. Turn on "Use AMS" if you are using filaments on AMS. Turning on "Bed leveling" is recommended. Turn on "Timelapse" for timelapse video recording.
