alt Hacker NewsThe A1 has a relatively small printing plate. How does it work for boxes that are larger ? You print them in pieces and click / glue them together ?

This is true. So far, everything I have printed has fitted on the plate. However, for larger items you can split them on the slicer and include connectors to join them back up - I'm yet to try this though
I wouldn’t call the A1 build plate small, more like average/typical sized.
And in that sense it means that almost every design made by someone else you find will fit your machine. I rarely if ever find something on Printables or Makerworld that requires a larger machine than the A1.
Then you’ve got the A1 mini being ao popular that many times people will make variants just for the small plate on that machine.
I print wargaming terrain that's bigger than the bed of my P1S from time to time. The clear Gorilla polyurethane glue has worked really well for me.
