Hands down one of the most complex but amazing prints/builds I've done to date. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Grab a bambu lab printer for yourself bit.ly/BambuLabUJ

[@haydenmurphy404]

you are doing gods work, lets see some more cases!!

[@somerandomperson8282]

It's a nice gimmick but that housing is obviously VERY IMPRACTICAL as it even covers up a lot of the front of the printer which would make the daily tasks of reaching into it or viewing all parts of it very inconvenient and annoying. This will not be staying on your printer long-term, I can almost guarantee it.

[@seekerandroses]

Hey could you review the Sunlu Standard Resin 1000kg?.

[@zergslayer69]

@@somerandomperson8282 As much as I love the aesthetics, feels like it'll trap the heat inside whereas the default p1p allows a lot of airflow through the machine

[@EnderWolf90]

What setting did you do for the tree supports as in make it easy to remove and what setting did you do for the overhanging on corner 2 right and left side

[@BeefaloBart]

TBH this is the type of prints that make the most sense. Sure it's only cosmetic, but is a great way to make something fit your personal taste and be just more fun to look at.

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

... and with a suitable door added, it's not only cosmetic, it's an enclosed printer now ;o)

[@maxdefire]

@@hassosigbjoernson5738 Not (for long) with PLA

[@woopsserg]

@@maxdefire Internal temperature does not quite reach the temperature to damage PLA, also parts are outside, so will be somewhat cooler than internal temperature.

[@drosendahl]

TBH this is the type of prints that make least sense. Printing mods, especially those that are mostly for the look, to your printer is giving you no external value of your printer. Buying a machine to create stuff just to create stuff for the machine....

[@blockfifteen]

@@drosendahl besides the fact the company could have included it in the first place (increasing the cost), it actually makes a lot of sense. Nothing wrong adding modifications to a printer to suit your needs.

[@ModBotArmy]

Super rad. This turned out awesome and is definitely the coolest case mod I have seen for the P1P 😊.

[@UncleJessy]

The potential for amazing cases is limitless. I already want to make another 😂

[@Phantomick]

This was a triumph I'm making a note here; "Huge success" It's hard to overstate My satisfaction…

[@simoneazzoni3882]

coolest enclosure i've ever seen, a real showcase of how good the idea of letting you customize this printer is!

[@notjannet]

Fantastic to see. Neil's designs are always pretty smart and very fun :D

[@MarcelRobitaille]

What a coincidence, I just played through portal 1 and 2 for the first time a few days ago. The games are on a huge sale in steam right now.

[@UncleJessy]

Amazing right? I’d love a vr version 😂

[@mikesvirtualhikeandtours1721]

That is sooooo sick!!! Great work!!

[@MathewSchaffer]

Me, after just finishing the pegboard sides for my P1P yesterday: "crap"

[@FJ_Beaujangles]

I'm a huge fan of the Bambu Studio supports. Cura has some pretty good tree supports but I'm never going back to the sticky standard blocks again after the amount of Bambu Studio prints I've cleaned up with my bare hands. It's a great printer and the slicer is just as incredible imo

[@Grithertime]

That is absolutely amazing. I love the cake in the printer!!!

[@Tigtak3d]

Awesome, Happy new year of 2023🤩

[@sald2of6]

Frikn AWESOME print. I would try a BORG cube print (black possibly some LEDs) from Star Trek Next Generation.

[@Andy-uu4pz]

Impressive design Neil!

[@TheCommanderCain]

Was waiting for this… I saw your comment on his Printables files.

[@jeroen3241]

jaw dropping cool. This alone makes me want to get one of the printers!

[@druinswish]

This is epically awesome! ❤️‍🔥🍰🎂💙

[@TheKnightArgent]

That. Is. So. Rad.

[@MrNickpeck36]

That looks great! I just got both of my Ankermake M5's and am enjoying them (use Prusa Slicer!), hopefully the software improves soon. I am looking at the Bambu printers, the X1 Carbon and the P1P, can't really decide which one I'd like as I have seen reviews kind of being back and forth on both of them. Obviously, the price on the P1P is very attractive. Great video UJ!

[@lynnalex890]

Going to start building mine today.

[@Radyjko]

Man! 😮 u got Me all inspired to do a portal PC build 😮 Great job here!

[@djispro4272]

Nice!

[@aPyroDesign]

I fucking love this.

[@PCWizrdSolutions]

Absolutely awesome! I need mine so I can do this!

[@UncleJessy]

Fingers crossed it arrives soon! I preordered as soon as it was announced. Tempted to get a 2nd

[@Darkwingdad]

Happy new year buddy, 23 is going to be your biggest year!

[@Taematoe]

Love it!

[@breadandbutter0080]

Finally a video that's not sponsored by elegoo

[@LordBarrington]

looks so good!, as for side panel project maybe a Jedi Holocron from star wars? should be relatively easy to design being mostly straight edges

[@Taematoe]

Just ordered the printer and filament!!!

[@FenrisOswin]

*Opens portal under the cube and transfers it to my own desk* :D

[@GantryG]

Oh that’s a good one 😊

[@jamieclarke321]

Damn didn’t realise I found this so early! Got my filament ordered to start printing before my P1P arrives

[@PulsefiredGaming]

The light install will be easy, but if the cube covers the back youll have to strip it down to install the aux fan

[@UncleJessy]

🤮🤣 yeah as soon as I had it 50% together I was like 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@paolozorzoli3877]

Amazing!!!!!!!

[@Spirited282]

Very cool looking enclosure. Would be awesome if someone made Tron themed panels

[@OnceinaSixSide]

Lmfao nice touch with the cake. I did not know I needed this in my life til now.

[@Protocol-X]

FYI bamboo labs is holding a contest on thangs for the month of March, to win a new printer for designing an enclosure of this type.

[@AarPlays]

I wonder how well these would do with the enclosure heated for ASA/ABS

[@Bluntedco.]

This would motivate anyone to want to 3dprint with this p1p just by the looks of this mod! Beautiful! i also have the p1p new in the box but i am new to 3d printing and i would like to print this but i think i would prob fail at my first try since i know nothing about settings etc.... i am watching videos to understand what tools do what. Is this a file you can just print in bambu studio without adjusting any settings and just setting it as pla filament or do i have to mess with the settings and speed or standard is fine? btw that white pla looks sooo clean! what brands did you use?

[@mattcollins9167]

I'm currently working on something similar to the spell box from No Way Home for this but I think I like this better. Nobody judge me if I offer the spell box files but use this for my own p1p, okay?

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man that is a wildly cool panel idea!

[@user-xo3xh7bz1h]

Прикольно!!! Интересная задумка!!

[@olafb.2929]

[@matt-8523]

If I’m installing the Companion Cube, and building an ventilated enclosure, do you recommend installing; - Chamber Temperature Regulator Fan - Control Board Fan - Auxiliary Part Cooling Fan

Haha def not any help with the noise and 😂🤣😂

Great vid Im torn between a SV06, ender S1 or saving alot and buying a P1P. Quality prints is what I care most about. I have a cr10s and mk3s Recommendations please

My mind is changing the white color by red and yellow gold and two ark reactors instead the hearts and we have the Stark Labs printer 🥰

[@AppleiOSGenius]

The borg cube, tardis be nice

[@woodwaker1]

I just unboxed my P1P so thought I would look at this.. Great design and a fantastic build. Except for cosmetics will this help in printing?

[@tabbertha]

what amount of infil did you have? just ordered mine last night keen as. also do you have any recommendation of how to learn more about when you should use what infil patterns and at what %? thanks love the vids

[@edrumsense]

2:12 Dude!! those tree supports the new Thomas Rahm supports? those supports are just freaking fking fantastic and easy to remove. I'm testing them on Cura which released them on 24 of december

[@Roymantic]

This was a triumph

[@DominequeTaylor]

how can we get on the beta slicer? I really want to use the smaller tree support. Wish cura had a profile for this printer already. great build buy the way. love this printer. Im soooo close to selling all my other printer for 2 more of these.

[@UncleJessy]

It’s on their slicer GitHub

[@rustyaudiobook]

What slicer software did you use and if you used Bambu Studio, what were your settings? I'm having trouble with the supports coming out as well. Thanks in advance

[@PulsefiredGaming]

holy crap... I need to do this to my p1p

[@KardesDesign]

is this matte white PLA? or just normal white? looks amazing. I need to make sure that I order the right shade of white.

[@SkateSoup]

Not as much eye appeal, but calibration cube sides for this would be awesome.

[@UncleJessy]

bwahahaha that is a fantastic idea

[@blakemoody5866]

Hopefully other creators make shells! I would love something like the borg cube, or a mario coin block, or a house, So many possibilities!

[@zacharydowning4647]

There is a borg cube on printables for the P1P.

[@StevenDavisPhoto]

love it! how would u use a door on this tho?

[@sadizz455]

Is it a good idea to have some sort of window for the front for keeping it enclosed and warm or is that a bad idea?

[@UncleJessy]

Depending on the materials. Since I usually just print with PLA or petg or TPU it should be totally fine

[@ragzard]

God dammit this is cool! I want a P1P now. LOL

[@padolan2009]

What filament was used for the God of war bust in the background? Great vid once again Jesse

[@JaysPrints]

Yep it is official time to sell the sony a7r3 to get one of these

[@bachstreetboi]

I wonder if there are any designs for Elegoo printers

[@FoxyAnimater]

Would it be theoretically possible to make this mod work on other 3D printers that are not specifically that one? For example, would it be theoretically possible to make it work on say an Anycubic Kobra Neo 2?

Just this mod will sell more P1Ps !!

The p1s and the p1p are like the exact same printer one just has a few extra parts

[@JM3DICI]

I kind of regret getting an X1 because I can't do this as easy

[@chadfarmer7695]

With glue can u take apart?

[@star20alpha]

I'm so frustrated, I'm trying to print this now, but I for the life of me cant get the PETG plates to come out smooth where the cut outs are. I end up stringing badly, and it looks like a forest on the back with strings sticking up everywhere...

[@Schnabulation]

Isn‘t PLA a bad choice for the enclosure? It would become soft once the enclosure heats up, wouldn‘t it? Looking forward to your tests.

[@Bluntedco.]

i was thinking the same but i think if you only print with pla and petg and tpu then you should be fine and also leaving the front open and the top open too. but maybe the grey parts should have been printed in petg.

[@woodwaker1]

PETG probably would be a good choice, but I don't think the P1P will capture much heat, with no door and the open top.

[@johndoe-db1ew]

does anyone know if there’s a similar cube for the ender-3 pro?

[@ernestfuentes1348]

wanting to make this for my Ender 3 as well. it's dimensions are about 2 inches bigger all 3 dimensions. Might have to make all the White pieces and make custom connectors for the rest.

[@WhoKnowsWho2]

I need a version for my Ender 5 😂

[@kingwolfjm8500]

Will this work woth the x1c?

[@UncleJessy]

No, just the P1P and its frame

[@skellcy7135]

Whats wrong with his left eye?

[@UbberMapper]

i would have done most of the superglueing before i put them on the machine

[@etherstorm80]

For the money, is the Bambu labs or Ankermate better?

[@morbus5726]

i think unclejessy was going to do a comparison video about it. imo, even though the p1p is cheaper by $100, spec wise, it outperforms the anker in every way, I would get that one. Bambu also has a great facebook community with over 10k members, and a discord and reddit community with over 5k each.

[@Geoff_W]

Ankermake has more features than the p1p, and arguably better hardware, the p1p is faster and has WAY better software, and it's CoreXY which is more stable. Honestly it's kind of a toss up. If you are new to 3d printing, the Ankermake probably fits your bill better. Once you know a little more what you are doing, the p1p makes a lot more sense.

[@morbus5726]

@@Geoff_W what features does the anker have over the p1p? The ai spaghetti detection doesn't count, as it is completely broken. The p1p has an all metal hotend, has linear rods instead of v wheels, is fully assembled (more so than the m5), is much much faster (8x faster accelerations, 2x faster max speed), has a bigger bed, and has a larger community. The anker does have a camera, but you can add one to the p1p, and still have the total price be less than the m5.

[@Geoff_W]

@@morbus5726 The bottom of the M5 is almost entirely solid aluminum, which does a better job of reducing vibration then the p1p's plastic and sheet metal construction is capable of. The hardware is also more repairable, using entirely consumer parts you can get and replace relatively inexpensively, that require less maintenance over time. If Bambu fails next year, you can't GET replacement parts. Those rails you mentioned? They need to be lubed, and are going to be a pain in the ass after a while because they are not easy to access. The wheels are a few screws. Easy. The M5 is also quieter than the p1p, has better part cooling than the p1p, and yes, has an HD camera, which you can't actually buy for the p1p. The p1p's camera is crap. The Anker slicer also seems to be WAY friendlier to newbies. They don't care about tweaking, they want to pick a thing and hit print and have it print...and it does that better. Like I said, Bambu's software and the p1p is absolutely better for experienced people, it's clearly superior, but for a printer that serves as an introduction to 3d printing, the M5 is honestly better at that, in my opinion. Also the Ankermake community is smaller because they literally delivered their printers like...3 weeks ago? Of course it's smaller. That's an idiotic metric for whether or not to purchase hardware.

[@morbus5726]

@@Geoff_W the p1p is all welded steel, I wouldn't say that's to flimsy. How is the ankermake more repareable? It also uses a ton of proprietary parts, and currently, offers a lot less than bambu in the shop. The m5 is extremely loud, like the p1p, due to the cooling, which is not better. Two small 3010 fans do not provide more cooling than a 5015 with a massive 90mm aux fan. I wouldn't say the anker is easier to use at all. You have to manually adjust the z, and slicer settings are terrible. The slicer is also terribly optimized, and crashes regularly. everyone I've seen with an anker and bambu prefers the bambu by far. I'm not saying the anker is a bad printer, but its silly to argue that it has better hardware than the p1p.
