New A1 has arrived

I wouldn't worry about a filament drier or a dehumidifier, its much less of an issue with PLA.

If it becomes an issue deal with it then, otherwise just crack on.

Bambu probably has the best prices if you are ordering 8 rolls of standard PLA (basic and matt). EDIT: If buying from a UK source (e.g. not Aliexpress)

@b0rn2sk8 - going to give some PETG high speed a go. Should I consider a dryer now? Question really for all?

My 2 printers and AMS lites are in my converted attic. RH is on average 50%, goes up overnight int he cold but I have a room dehumidifier I run during the day and a heater as I work in here often

When you say converted attic, do you mean a proper loft conversion with a warm roof or a regular attic which is still vented to the outside?

Your results may vary with PETG, my view is try it and if it becomes a problem buy a drier. No point in buying one if it’s not an issue. That said the Bambu PETG specifically says to dry it before use. - proper politicians answer that was.

Ordered the A1 on Monday. Bambu's site said shipment would be around 20th Jan but just got message from DPD saying they are delivering it today. Had to reschedule for tomorrow.

Should be a nice upgrade over my now ancient Athorbot Brother

Finished the AMS enclosure last night and just left it on my desk with the desiccant installed to test it. A slight drop in humidity in the chamber

Now installed it to the AMS this morning. Only trouble I had was the tightening bolt of the AMS mount getting in the way so I had to print a replacement that was more flush.
