Bambu Lab’s A1 Combo has quietly become the hottest-selling desktop 3D printer of early 2025, and it’s easy to see why. At $569 bundled with the AMS Lite for multi-colour printing, the A1 Combo delivers an experience that would have cost thousands of dollars just two years ago. Four-colour automatic filament switching, a heated bed, and open-top design make it the perfect entry point for creators who want colour without complexity.
Bambu Lab’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. The company now holds an estimated 35% share of the consumer desktop 3D printing market — an extraordinary rise for a brand that didn’t exist three years ago. Its ecosystem approach — centralised Bambu Studio slicer, Bambu Handy app for remote monitoring, and a growing library of first-party filaments — has turned 3D printing from a hobbyist tinkering exercise into a genuinely mainstream creative tool.
The competitive landscape has shifted dramatically. Prusa, Creality, and Anycubic are all racing to match Bambu’s speed-and-software package. But Bambu’s vertically integrated model and relentless product cadence give it a durable lead.
If you’re thinking about getting into 3D printing in 2025, the A1 Combo is the answer.
