How to Build an Enclosure for the P1P from Bambu Lab

In this video, I will show you how to build a p1p enclosure for the P1P from Bambu Lab. This enclosure is perfect to enable your P1P to print ABS, ASA, and more.

This guide will show you how to build the "Vision" enclosure for the P1, what issues I ran into, and how well the enclosure works.

Nice to find out I was not the only one to have EXACTLY the same issues.

Thanks for this informative and honest video showing all of the practical challenges with PTFE tube, chain problems, and other fitment details. Really helpful! I just received my BL P1P and am thinking about enclosing too. I've only printed PLA and am mulling over a Minimalist enclosure. Interested in your thoughts in general about enclosure benefits vs. drawbacks for PLA. Main enclosure benefit seems cosmetic and also to eliminate dust build up on print bed to to reduce delamination risk. Perhaps there are other benefits? Maybe reduce the noise a little and better printing accuracy when bolted panels stiffen the steel frame? BL recommends MC fan and a lot of people also add the accessory fan so I'm not convinced an acrylic enclosure would actually be quieter but would like to hear your thoughts. I really don't know whether a stiffer frame translates into any meaningful improvement in print quality and would like to hear about your experiences. The price of all these mods adds up - acrylic panels that I cut to shape + BL glass door + BL hinge kit + BL control board fan + BL accessory fan + BL chain guide kit + filament + fasteners. Easily $200 CAD. Fun and cosmetically satisfying but would like to learn about consequences - e.g. requirement to leave the door open printing PLA and also endure even more fan noise? Or challenges making the chain guide more robust or premature wear on PTFE tube due to friction against the long oval opening through the steel frame.=

Good video, glad to see another P1P enclosure. I just finished the ARC enclosure by Thrutheframe, and used the kit from the US supplier. I printed all of the parts in ABS on my X1 Carbon, so they should handle the heat better. For me it is worth the small exrta cost to not have to source everything - especially the panels

Guessed wrong :). Bambu Lab now sells an enclosure for the P1P anlong with additional stuff, converting it to the P1S.

I think Bambu printers kind of need that extra headspace given how the filament feeds into the top of the extruder. Unless you are really concerned with aesthetics, and have a P1P to start with, I would just as soon add a 4-5 cm space on the top and build the enclosure around that. It would save you from having to mess with the filament tube as well.

This is great upgrade, i may consider using polycarbonate. And add a fan to keep main circuit board from overheating now that it's enclosed. And adding an exhaust fan with hepa filter. This looks awesome!

[BennyTygohome]

That is awesome upgrade and looks killer too. 👍

I've bought something similar, though from what mine showed we need to print it using ABS due to heat resistance properties. thus far using PLA is there any issues?

Hi. Thanks for this tutorial. Did you change out the toolhead cable and ptfe tube or used the ones taht came with the P1p?

[ronnyhelsing]

What build plate do you use? It looks like it bends so the item gets lose imediatly

[timdean]

Thanks for the info. This looks like a great solution to get some ABS printing on the P1P. Out of curiosity. Did you have to do any hot end upgrades or anything like that? Or is that only to print with PC’s and nylons etc? TIA 👍

[samjames]

can you use the AMS multi add on after you have enclosed the p1p?

[erebostd]

Schick, danke fürs zeigen! Ich glaube, ich lass das erst mal mit dem Gehäuse, ich drucke ich kein ABS. Aber schön zu sehen, dass man die Möglichkeit hat, das Ding relativ einfach zu erweitern.😁👍

[bertsteenbergen]

Many thanks for sharing this video, what thickness of acrylic panels did you use? It looks a bit more sturdy than 3mm.

[martyn]

Does this enclosure reduce the noise much?

[ypeelsleepy]

Hey thanks for the Video. I am very happy you like my Riser :D i like the orange. might have to reprint mine :D

[krain.]

I'm planing to make this enclosure for abs. But I have an enclosed room (my dorm) and I've seen no flitering system here. If I am to plan to use this setup indoor, should I also add a fan and abs fliter as well? or is there other solutions?

[mycinemax]

@8:15 the top of the shark fin overheated, is there a way to fix that i wonder.

[metarts]

Das warping liegt nur daran das man kein Gehäuse hat ? Oder was muss man noch bei den Einstellungen beachten ? Ich habe gestern versucht mit abs das Gehäuse zu drucken aber das warpt so extrem das ist echt nicht normal ! Heute habe ich angefangen das ganze einfach in petg zu drucken ..
hast du ein paar Tipps ?

[TiaDzn]

Hey, great video! I have some questions: 
1. Did you print the parts vertically? 
2. Did you order the official chain from Bambu Labs? They say not to use it on the P2P, I don't know what to think...
3. Did you use a soldering iron to add the heated inserts? If yes, which temps did you use?
Thanks in advance!
