FIVE VERSIONS ARE AVAILABLE NOW! Active Heating System - Bambu X1C / P1P

Bambu X1C / P1P Active Heating System

Five versions are now available, the simplest one ... Heater/Motor ; the U Loop Pipe version, Extended Box version, Top Cover Extended Box, and the Laser Cut Top Cover in tandem with the Extended Box!

Pick one you consider is best for your needs!

Please be advise that I use the dimensions for my X1C cover (382X351 with top corners radius 20); if the dimensions on other printers may differ ... please send the dimensions, and I will modify the Top Cover to fit your printer!

Please keep in mind that I test the Heater Unit only on my Bambu X1C Printer! It fit great between the Print Plate and the Printer Wall.
The P1P ans X1 printers are made using same platform, however, I do not test physically on those printers!

The possibility to integrate an active heating system with your Bambu printer.

FREE UPGRADE 28 JAN 2024 - Temperature Control Box can accommodate now an IEC 320 C13 Male Connector. It will required two M4 14MM countersunk screws & lock nuts.

In order to print ABS, ASA, or 'Special Filaments,' the use of an Active Heating Chamber is strongly recommended. To prevent delaminations or warping during ABS printing, I typically increase the temperature of my Build Plate to 110 degrees Celsius, transforming my printer's 'ive Heating Chamber' into a more hospitable environment.

Some 'Special Filaments' may require a higher temperature than 60 degrees Celsius. However, it's essential to keep in mind that these high temperatures add additional stress to your equipment. Once we have 3D printers with integrated cooling systems for the stepper motors and all parts positioned in the Active Heated Chamber are full metal and heat proffed, we can push the temperatures even higher... till then ... moderation is the rule we must follow!

Based on Previous Experience: Few years ago, I built an Active Heat Chamber, and used a Creality CR10S with it. I realized that beyond 60 degrees Celsius, the filament becomes too soft to get push through the Bowden Tube, resulting in a print failure. It's worth noting that I did not have a Direct Drive Printer Head at that time.

This unit is not integrated in to the Printer System, and is working as an Independent System, however the ON/OFF Function is triggered by the Printer Print Plate temperature.

Vers. 1

The Temperature Controller Sensor will monitor the Temperature in the Printing Chamber and will be activated or deactivated accordingly. Set the ON system to a conservative temperature, let's say, 50-55 degrees Celsius. When the temperature reaches 50-55 degrees Celsius in the Printing Chamber, the system will start. Set the OFF temperature to 60 degrees Celsius. The Heating System will be turned off each time the target temperature is reached.

When the print is complete and the printer automatically switches off, since the Heating System can't keep the Printing Chamber at the set temperature without the boost from the print plate, it will be out of range and therefore turned off.

Monitor the system closely and check if it is functioning properly! Play with different Temperature Setting to find the best solution for you!

Vers. 2

You realize that due to the SMALL Power of the Heating element, the temperature in the printing chamber will increase by only a few degrees during the continuous run of the Heating System, and the Temperature Controller becomes just a safety backup for the system!

Therefore, set Controller... ON at 40-45 degrees and OFF at 60-65 degrees—a temperature that will never be reached!

Vers. 3

You will need to connect the Temperature Controller Sensor to the Printer Print Plate. Set the ON system to the temperature plate (minus 5-10 degrees) you have set for that respective print. Set the OFF system to 5-10 degrees below the ON settings. This way, the Heating System will be activated and deactivated by the Printer Print Plate.

Monitor the temperature in your Printing Chamber! It is not recommended to exceed 60 degrees Celsius!

.

It use a 100-200W heating Element connected to a Temperature Controller as W3001.

You do not need to alter your printer, except for the hole where the electrical cables will exit the printer... and the hole for Thermal Sensor (14mm holes).The heater unit can be glued to the printer floor with adhesive velcro / double tape or plain super glue/silicone!

WARNING! When Print Table is on SAME LEVEL as Heating Unit is recommended that Heating System to be SWITCH OFF ... or closely monitor the platform... for any signs of damage!
A Limit Switch/Proximity Sensor should be integrated for this function!

Two Countersunk Bolts M4 16mm with Lock Nuts are required to secure the Heater on its .

Strongly recommend to print it with ABS or ASA, since it will be in with a heat source!
