Is it worth upgrading from an Ender 3 V3 KE to a Bambu Lab A1 Combo?

Post:
Hey everyone,

I currently own a Creality Ender 3 V3 KE and overall I’m pretty happy with it. The print speed is already quite good, and I mostly print smaller things with PLA.

Lately I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a Bambu Lab A1 Combo mainly because:

  • it seems much more user friendly
  • less tweaking/calibration
  • automatic filament changing
  • multi-color printing with the AMS Lite
  • more “it just works” experience

At the same time, I know my Ender is already pretty fast, so I’m wondering if the upgrade would actually feel worth it in daily use.

I also don’t print huge models very often because filament costs add up quickly for me.

For people who made a similar switch:

  • Did it feel like a big upgrade?
  • Is the AMS Lite actually useful long term?
  • Did you end up printing more because it was easier?
  • Or is it not worth upgrading if the Ender 3 V3 KE already works well?

Would love to hear honest opinions from people who have used both 🙂
