6 Months into owning the A1 mini without AMS and with the help of some amazing people here and some self learning on top of YouTube tutorials I've been able to learn so much more about 3d printing and I'm extremely grateful to all those here who have helped. I am hoping the within another 6 months I will be in a better position to help others and pay it all forward. Finally I am able to make with the AMS lite and it is a real game changer! Super grateful to be able to make so many more things for friends and family now.
