I just saw this. I love the idea of a 3d printer and I could probably find uses for it. Is it difficult to set up and use? I know there are big libraries of things to print as I am not too good at designing.

It’s super super easy.
We have the Bambu A1 Mini (buy direct from the Bambu website for the best deal) and we use eSun PLA+ plastics which are about £15 per kg reel.
The A1 mini is the best and smallest (and cheapest) printer out there, but it’s very very good.
There’s a whole library of free things to print from the Bambu app. (You use the app to print from)
It’s really nifty and super useful.
Currently working on TinkerCad to try and design some basic things to test print. As usual, it’s a case of having the time to play. Super cool, worth a Google!
I may have to treat myself as it's something I've fancied for a while. For that sort of money it's a bargain, but then I guess it's limited on how big you can print. I was looking at their site and it seems to manage multiple colours, but I guess you need some extra accessories for that. The even have Linux software!
I've looked on Thingiverse before and there are so many things you can just print.
I'd love to hear more about your experiences with it when you have time for a post.
!BEER
Yeah the size of prints is limited with the mini. I think up to 18 inches? Still pretty substantial for most things.
A1 can do 4 colours hooked up I believe.
I think it's 18cm, but that's still enough to make a lot of things. Cheers
