## Verdict

The A2L is a bigger, more capable take on the popular A1, with a 330 x 320 mm bed and an optional cutter and pen plotter. Tom's Hardware gave it an Editor's Choice for family makers and crafters. It needs a sturdy table, and multi color prints waste filament.

## Cons

- Strong vibration; the AMS Lite fell off a light table (Tom's Hardware)
- Filament waste on color changes
