I'm a hardware product design engineer, have been using 3d printers for 20 years professionally to get my work done.
Recently purchased an X1 Carbon with 2 AMSs and its incredible. It's a very high quality, enabling, wonderful piece if equipment.
I have used dozens of professional machines that cost hundreds of thousands, built, bought and run many lower cost machines also.
I can only count on one hand the number of times I've been this impressed by a 3d printer when it came out, and never by a printer even remotely in the X1s process range.
I think this A1 mini is a great entry level printer, if you only have $500 to spend on a printer, get this one. If you have $1500 get the X1.
