I am just learning, but I just learned, My P1S gets heat creep on TPU and flexible PLA. Covering up the top of the head for the dust cover will propagate heat creep. I know it doesn't matter to most people, but I thought I'd add that.

[@Iamdudeman12]

So it makes it worst? I'm confused

[@troywalker8078]

@@Iamdudeman12 bump

[@bobbobbington4079]

@@Iamdudeman12 probably. that gap is probably there by design and for cooling. when doing mods like this, you always run the risk of hurting more than helping due to the fact you are really trying to fix something that isn't broken. print in clean enviorment/service your printer and you will be fine.

[@whatsup3d]

Use a PLA support interface layer on your PETG prints (or vice versa), the support will just fall away because PETG and PLA don't stick to each other.

[@user-yc8dd2wr2b]

Genius!

[@justinpedersen9174]

is there a way to slice it such that there's only one or two layers of different material on the supports? I would imagine that'd cut down on filament changes a lot

[@whatsup3d]

@@justinpedersen9174 Yes you set the support interface to PLA but the leave the support itself as PETG, that way it only does a filament change on the final layer of support. On prints with basically flat supports this works really well.

[@Pomaufour]

Nice tip man thanks​@@whatsup3d

[@benmaks]

I tried vice versa and PLA simply clogged where I had to disassemble the extruder.

[@timderks5960]

I haven't used any glue or any other adhesion helper on my P1S textured plate. I've printed PLA and PETG, and both stick perfectly fine. Most prints are impossible to get off without bending the plate or getting something underneath the print. The only thing you may need after a while is a bit of Isopropanol alcohol (IPA) to remove the grease from your fingers. Other than that, you simply don't need anything.

[@davekolp4552]

It's got to be the highest alcohol content. I used the lower, and it doesn't work as good!

[@roobtoob2]

Great video - Thanks! I like the idea of that PEX plate and just ordered one. I bought a Bambu X1C from Microcenter, opting for the additional $300 extended warrantee plan. Maybe a big pill to swallow, but having a walk-up replacement guarantee instead of having to deal with Bambu in China helped me sleep better. About two weeks into owning it, something went wrong with the AMS and I ended up returning the printer and getting another one as a walk in replacement. All I really needed was an AMS, but all they could do was replace "the whole shooting match". So be it. I get home to find that the second printer had a smooth plate (whereas the first printer came with the textured plate). I decided I really liked the textured plate better (no glue needed, at least with PLA), and bought an additional textured plate. That left me with a smooth plate for smooth finishes (and a pain in the a$$ dealing with glue), or a textured plate that had a finish that wasn't always desirable. Now, along comes a matte finish plate that requires no glue, and no funky patterns? Bring it on!

[@ryker86]

There is probably a reason why Bamboo Labs left the holes in the back and on the top, possibly for heat-related reasons. Just throwing that out there.

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

I've never understood why people go through the trouble of printing that tool head holder when it is just far easier to pop the one connector for the fan on and off. As for actual mods, the one that allows you to add the A1 silicone wiper in line with the existing wiper is probably the single best one for those of us who do a bunch of multi material printing. I've never had a failed print due to wipes being drug back into the print area since doing that.

[@fitzgeraldlewis]

I may be wrong but I think you run the risk of the connector breaking over time through repeated connecting and disconnecting, so it may be preferable to securely place the holder off to the side instead. That is my best guess though.

[@syko2695]

​@@fitzgeraldlewisI recently had to take the cover off to check for stuck filament in the PTFE tube and the official guide tells you to just take that connector out so it's probably fine.

[@TSWShadowz]

@@fitzgeraldlewis removed the cover over one hundred times now due to repeat Extruder failures, absolutely no issues to date but I understand this concern. This connector likely has a cycle life of 500-1000 uses before its worn out

[@denios36]

Good stuff, thanks bro!

[@BojanSusic-qi4qn]

awesome video, saved it for a later watch for when my P1S arrives

[@EvilSpyBoy]

If you look for 'long drop poop chute' you will find the one I designed that lets you have the poop go into a container underneath the table it is sitting on. I have 2 printers sitting side by side so I dont have the room for the side bucket which is also much smaller.

[@TJordanWDE]

Best P1S mods video I have seen. All super useful. Would it be possible for you to link the magnets and connectors you used for the smoothy mount? Thanks! Again, great video!!!

[@jackavol4150]

Very nice. Thanks for the info and links! Looking forward for part 2.

[@VoidedGaming]

This video is underrated, 10/10 video!

[@EngineeringAddiction]

Thank you!!

[@MrBiggs-wu2kf]

Thank you for this video.

[@boisalten]

Is there a Way to use a little iPad as a P1S screen? And not the small one that comes in the package!

[@cliftonhead9665]

Great help with add ons. But the Fan cover plate when printed doesn't have the holds just a cover. I did all 3 listed nothing all came out with no holds

[@gan11cuber42]

I saw you used one of my designs for the dust cover!! I have also designed some stuff for the a1 mini too if you would like to check it out.

[@obijuan-]

One word. Merely Wonderful. Oops, two words.

[@mojazu]

Great timing for your upload, I was looking for EXACTLY this since I just ordered my P1S and saw it was just uploaded 5 hours ago. Great vid, will be printing most of these!

[@MikeyKirin]

Can someone let me know what the grey thing on the back of his printer is that has the tubing running into it? I don't have that. I feel like it's a cleaner of some sort and I'd like to look more into it.

[@mraljewari9381]

So you covered all the hole for the dust not to get in But printed an accessory that leave the top cover open 😂

[@MrBiggs-wu2kf]

yes, based on what type of filament ya think?

[@Bastelsaal]

Looks like you also should print a new door handle 😀

[@grahamwood3105]

very good video i would like to see some more when you can

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Ahhhhh good ones! I used tapes came with packaging.....

[@ameliabuns4058]

MY PRINTER WORKS JUST FINE why do I keep wanting to mod it... one of these days i'll ruin my printer I swear.... 6:00 why not just unplug it?

[@zxys001]

..so, where is the free bambu?

[@arnoldbailey7550]

Challenge: Make a poop shoot that looks like the human centipede. 😂

[@SoxZYT]

strange oppinion as a ender 3 pro to p1s changer.. Its sad that the p1s is pretty close to beeing perfect. I loved to heavaly modify it and build around it to make it 0.1% better. if its installing a pythingy or making extruding ever so slighty better. im IMMENSLY happy with my p1s since my failpraint%rate went from 70% with the ender, down to 5% since i use custom and hard fillaments. but still. You cant print stuff to ''upgrade'' the p1s to make it better. Anyone feel like that? Its still one of the best decisions ive made but. still. theres this thing in the back of my head as a hobbyuser of 3d printing.

[@SpannMagoo]

The tool head cover wont work for anyone using the mods that put the ptfe tube at the optimal angle. Some good choices for mods overall.

[@syko2695]

2:44 what's that hole even for?

[@svgPhoenix]

It's a hot air exhaust for the hotend fan. Not a good idea to cover it

[@syko2695]

@@svgPhoenix Ah 💀 I wasn't planning on covering it as I figured it's there for a reason, but yeah. Definitely won't be doing so now. All these "dust protections" seem unnecessary anyway. I do like the chamber fan one though, I'm dumb enough to get something stuck in there lol

[@patrikzajac100]

you dont need glue to put on textured pei sheet and it sticks better to pei texture

[@kaorukensi]

what type of filament are you using to print all the upgrades?

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Nice collection of mods all in one place.

[@telisto]

any build plate like the wham bam that I can buy from amazon?

[@shadowline1413]

Bro There where a lot of Trash upgrades That already got better Versions lol.

[@efremtommasi1387]

Next upgrade: NITRO BUTTON 😉

[@desiraedibble3657]

This 3D printing concept just got next-level! Forget pushing plastic through a nozzle, what if we built objects from the inside out, layer by layer, with a two part container? Imagine a two-part vat that spins while a fancy nozzle sprays a special resin, building the object layer by layer. But here's the twist: a UV light zaps each layer to harden it, and tiny magnets outside the vat can manipulate the resin for even crazier designs! Think dissolvable layers hidden within the object, or even tiny components placed precisely using magnetic fields. This "Morphing Matrix" could be a game-changer, letting us print objects with hidden compartments or even self-assembling parts! #FuturePrinting #MindBlown What do you guys think? Could this be the future of 3D printing?

[@MrBiggs-wu2kf]

DUDE. If this concept became reality it would be a game changer.

[@tonymiller9544]

So it is still a huge filament waster and slow as ful when using more than one filament. No thanks.

[@TeeKermit]

What’s the alternative? U wanna buy a Prusa xl for like 4 times the money or what

[@illysmanx]

Yeah, the mod at 2:23, the cap to narrow the air intake at the top of the print assembly- that's not a good idea! 1) The bowden tube has to angle differently, my filament had to be pushed extra hard to get around the corner and it kept feeling like I had reached the feeding gears but hadn't. 2) The cap will deform in the heat venting from that hole at the top! That's the exhaust hole for the fan at the front of the assembly. I had a PLA matte cap printed out and it deformed after 4 hours of ASA printing, it had started to bow down into the hole. I've decided to go without the dustcap since I use the top cover on the printer most often. The other mods are still working great!

[@illysmanx]

A part 2 would be great! Love that you linked to all of the models and all :)
