Bambu Labs X1C / P1S Custom Chamber Heater - 3D Printing Tools

**PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION**

Custom made chamber heater with external PSU / temp controller box

** Due to a lack of reasonably priced suppliers for the required 24v 200w PTC heater element, I have had to raise the price of the kit **

Heater unit is printed in ASA-GF and the PSU box is printed in matte PLA - Each kit is made to order. I keep a large selection of PLA colors, if you want a specific color that is not listed or if you would like your box printed in something other than PLA please send me a message. 

Uses a Meanwell 350w 24vdc PSU and a 200w 24v PTC heater element with 2x 50mm fans, all protected by a fused IEC power plug/switch.

Will come fully wired and assembled and will just need to be installed.

Installation will involve drilling a ~1/2" hole in the floor of your housing to run the wires out of the chamber. The heater unit just snaps into place beneath the AUX fan. I recommend using a 1/8 bit for a pilot hole and then use a unibit (step bit) to get to 1/2". There is a small molded indentation near the back left of the chamber floor, this is the perfect spot to drill.

Drill your hole, run the wires from inside out, snap the heater unit into place, and plug in the connectors. Plug in your AC power to the PSU box and set your temp with the temp controller and you're ready for less warping, better bed adhesion, and better layer adhesion!

Both the fans & the heater are controlled by the temp controller automatically.

Starting a heated print that will finish while you are away from your printer? You can add an IOT outlet controller to be able to turn the heater on and off remotely via your smart home control apps (or via the plug manufacturer app). If you turn the heater on and off this way it will save the last used settings. Truly a set and forget option. Turn it on remotely to start preheating, turn it off when the print finishes so you're not wasting energy. The kit is offered with an optional IOT plug but you can always add one of your choice at any time. 

Android / Alexa plug - this plug can be controlled from the manufacturer app, or it can be directly integrated into your existing Google / Alexa Smart home controls to be used with voice commands. This plug can still be controlled from Apple devices via the manufacturers app but will not integrate directly with the Apple homekit ecosystem.

I have tried to make this kit as easy and user friendly as possible for people in the community that want to print engineering materials but maybe aren't comfortable with electronics.

You should set the temp ~5° lower than your intended temp because heat rises to the top of the chamber and the temp probe is near the bottom in the heater unit.

I recommend not going above 55-60° C. Since the BL printers were not designed with a high temp heated chamber in mind, limiting your temp to ~55-60° leaves enough headroom to protect your stepper motors, bearings, belts and other electronics inside the chamber. Turning the heated bed on along with the chamber heater will further reduce heating times but the 200w heater element puts off a lot of heat. 55-60° C chamber temp is more than sufficient to see benefits and increase the bed and layer adhesion of all materials while reducing warping.

When your print finishes turn the heater off and let the chamber cool naturally without opening the door. Minimizing and slowing the temperature gradient is the goal with a chamber heater, so it's important to let it cool on its own before you open the door to remove the print.

I am happy to answer any questions or assist with getting it set up, however you are responsible for the final installation and you use this at your own risk. I take great pride in my work and would never sell anything I thought was unsafe but I take no liability for incorrect use or installation, or any issues that arise from use of this product.

Shipping: Ships from Perkasie PA, please allow 1-5 weeks for production and shipping.

Thanks for visiting my shop!

If you would like your PSU box printed in a material other than PLA, send me a message before purchase. If you would like 2 different colors for your box or a color I don't have listed as an option, send me a message after purchase. I stock many colors of filament but Shopify will not let me have that many variations.
