Quieter BambuLabs P1S/X1C/P1P? Upgrading The P1S with Noctua Fans

[@dennish9543]

3D Printing with a touch of cooking! Well done mod with a clear explanation and excellent detail. Thank you!

[@mrlaszlo]

What about the chamber fan? The one inside on the left side? Nozzle fan?

[@Zeltroix]

I feel my P1S is pretty quiet in normal settings, it sits about 3 feet away from me.

[@Kart0nas]

Also put some foam and a tile underneath, "CNC kitchen" has a video about it. It helps so so much with sound. I did it myself a week ago and now I barely notice my p1s in the same room

I was going to actually print the hula feet. to isolate the machien abit from the table! but maybe i have to compare with a slab and foam. i think i have some slabs of brick for my pizza oven lying aroudn and some foam. I appreciate the comment!

[@Kart0nas]

@NuggetsInclusive the slab does perform better than those feet, there's a table with comparisons in his video. Let me know your experience if you do it!

[@RaveGreenHornet]

Very cool! I may have to try this too.

[@amiibler]

Very cool video! One question though: would it be possible to just replace the fan blade assembly and still see better noise results? You wiring job looks great and was obviously a tonne of work, but maybe it's possible to swap just 1 part instead of all of the stuff you needed to do for the board fan?

Nice video :) enjoyed it.

[@NuggetsInclusive]

Thank you :)

Subbed!!! Nice content

[@NuggetsInclusive]

Thanks!

[@Weeble_Warbles]

Nice job! I saw someone do a similar modification on a Flashforge 5M, but they removed and replaced the back panel with a 4 (maybe 5?) piece replacement which they printed out to accommodate the new fan position. I think they might've added a raised lip to the fan shroud for the ability to attach duct work in case they wanted to vent it outside.

[@NuggetsInclusive]

I appreciate it! I think it would be pretty easy to attach a duct. But i don't have the window close to my printer to test that :)

[@silvrcel]

The chamber fan is mostly for keeping the temperature of the chamber low. You could just get away with the keeping the fan off and removing the top glass or opening the door. Alternatively, you can print a top glass mount that allows you to slide open for venting. But there are downsides like slightly increased motor noise and smell. But great video though. Will consider trying out the design when I need it.

[@Steaky78]

Am I missing something. The before and after results were identical on thje screens you showed

[@iQlusion]

The makerworld link seems to be missing from the description or at the end of the video.

[@NuggetsInclusive]

yes! give me 24hours. youtube needs to verify me so i can upload links! sorry for the delay

[@NuggetsInclusive]

Until I Can Put it into the discription ill add the link to the comments.

[@Nxz95]

Nice video 😁👌

[@baeen]

nice video.. thanks :)

[@malventano]

New fans spin slower, which leads to most of the noise reduction. Turning the stock fans down gets you most of the way there (for free).

[@NuggetsInclusive]

you might be right i should have tested that a bit better!

[@Jaie55]

Yes and no, noctua fans are increidble pushing Air at low rpms, so, still an upgrade

[@ChitosVids]

What is the filament box next to youre p1s?

[@NuggetsInclusive]

its the polydryer box from polymaker! I will make a video on theese soon!

[@socrat84]

the movements during printing are loud not the chamfer fan :P

[@NuggetsInclusive]

your right the motors are definitly the primary reason for all the noise it makes :)

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

I chose a quieter 3D printer over print speed and then i put a larger nozzle on it since i don't need to print fine details. I just print at 0.4mm layer heights to get print times down. Most of the annoying noises i hear are from everything else other than the fan.

[@NuggetsInclusive]

which printer do you choose?
