Hello everyone, I am waiting for the delivery of my A1 with AMS lite, but since I am away for work, I will have to wait to see it. In the meantime, I wanted to design a plexiglass box to enclose it when it’s not in use to prevent dust accumulation. Could you please tell me the dimensions it occupies considering the movement of the plate and the AMS on the side? Thanks

Oh thank you very much, I had searched the forum but hadn’t found any similar topics, only the one for the A1 Mini. Thank you very much for sharing it with me
It seems, that the diagram in the FAQ has been changed.
Bambu requires now 14cm from the most rear print bed edge to the wall:
wiki bambulab com - a1/manual/faq#how-much-space-should-be-reserved-behind-the-heatbed-to-prevent-the-heatbed-cable-from-being-impacted
I don’t see any reason why the additional 8cm are needed as the cable in the diagram looks that it’s just using 6cm of room.
As I have a hard stop and every cm counts I would be very glad if a proud owner of an A1 could be so kind and measure the shortest distance from the front feet to the wall behind the A1 suitable.
Thanks,
Greg
There is conflicting info about the dimension in red. A reddit thread states it’s 465mm (475mm to allow for the cable), or 605mm in the bambu lab wiki. This is a big difference. Can someone please elaborate on how overfill the 605mm dimension is?
605mm is definitely needed if you don’t want the cable hitting whatever you have behind the printer.
Edit: 605 from wall to front of printer base (basically desk space)… then the bed also will travel 80mm more forward from the front of the printer base.
