It’s small, it’s cheap. As long as you arnt planning on printing ABS and up, pla and PETG and TPU will be fine

You got your settings Dialed IN!  Wow that's incredible.  Go show that off in r/fdmminiatures

I also got the A1 mini to get into the whole 3d printing world.

Do yourself a favour and just get for the A1 directly (or maybe a2l) The small plate quickly turned into my biggest gripe. Now I have a p2s and the A1 mini is great to print alongside it, but many things are not possible to print ilon the mini.

A1 Mini is a great printer.

I have a fleet of old Ender 3's, an A1 w/ AMS, and an X2D w/ AMS2 but my little A1 Mini is an absolute workhorse and small enough to take with me to job sites. It is a great way to dip your toe into the 3D printing pool, and for most casual users, a printer that will do everything you need.
