Fantastic walkthrough, thank you. Just bought the P1S combo yesterday as an upgrade from an ender 3 v2 that I've slowly gotten sick of troubleshooting every time I want to print something. My finger hovered over the buy button for the X1C for a while but just couldnt justify the extra expense for not a whole lot of extra features. I look forward to the P1S arriving and being able to do this awesome quality of life mod
That is where I was this past Friday. Yet again nursing an Ender 3 Pro to get it to print some very simple parts! Pulled the trigger on a P1S with AMS. The should be here at the of the week! :)
Finished adding the touch screen to my P1S. Went in very easily. My touch screen came with a usb cable which was about 400mm. Being a P1S the printer has a top cover so the cable has to come through the case. There is a small hole in the top frame which works very well. The whole process of installing the software went smoothly with no problems. Thanks for the video and the stl for the case which fitted prefectly.
When I first heard about the possibility of adding a touch screen the the P series, I thought it might be a full on replacement. But this makes it more of an accessory which is really neat. Really love the redesign case as well, and that's the kind of thing I'd prefer as well, just having something that slots over the original screen. Could probably slim the case down a bit by using a usb cord w/ a 90 degree angle on it too.
Thanks for the awesome workthrough and huge congratulations and thanks to the XTouch team for putting this together. Ordering the parts for my new P1P now!!
This is brilliant! Love that you left the original controller accessible, and I used it the other day to do a firmware update. The xtouch is perfect for everything else. Used a flat USB ribbon cable to go straight back under the glass.
@@TheBuefurdI’m not sure if my replies are positing, but I can’t see them. I put the sensor (in “Model A” enclosure) near the internal USB socket that Michael is shown using on his P1S. It’s basically top center in the recess above the door. I had to extend the sensor leads and ran those wires through the slack space behind the factory screen to get to the ESP32 screen. I used a zip tie to help fish those wires through that tiny space. Cheers!
Fantastic design of your enclosure. And wow, this has got to be the best mod for the P1 series printers, for the price it's just unbelievable. I can't believe you can buy one of these screens for $8. It's crazy. However shipping for me to the US is taking a looooong time.
One of best features you didnt even mention is chamber temperature sensor (DS18B20) that you can install and get realtime temperature reading on display, very usefull for P1S (and P1P with enclosures)
Excellent. Great incrementation over the community solution. I am planning to buy a P1S, so really useful. You have became to me, a trusted source of information for 3D printing, for quite some time already. Thank you.
This is a great solution to one of the main problems with the P1x-printers. Thanks a lot for this and for all the good work that you always do, Michael!
Just ordered my P1S, can't wait to try this. I saw these on another very interesting video which they seem to call them CYB (cheap yellow board), people make some cool things (games etc..). Thanks for the tip. Although, I want to note that @5:10 you show how to create the wifi.json via some 3rd party site. Security wise, this is poor practice. It's simple enough to put in placeholder text "mynetworkname" and "mypasswordhere" and replace them in the text file using notepad, or any other plaintext editor.
Thx for this video. I made an X Touch using your mount design as it really is much nicer idea in concept, compared to the others. I made this for a P1S and was using the raised frame with LED lights made by Dutch Designer also using ESP32. For the P1P the raised lights are not necessary, but for closed cabinets its extremely useful. Unfortunately XTouch also using ESp32 and communicating with the printer, even though all have unique ip adresses, stops Dutch desigers light module in its tracks. Just wanted to put this out there to any considering using both. Of course X1C is not effected as it has its own screen, so doesnt effect the lighting module.
Thanks for this. Built and running. In the end it is in my office away from the printer. While I can control things through Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer... they aren't always the top window and this sits nicely on the desk even with the surround you showed. My only issue has been that the 3mf for the optional temperature sensor wont upload to my p1s (ftp error). Sigh. Will have to design my own case. Your channel is a regular source of great 3d printing tricks, tips and general info. e.g. Your flexible print work was really interesting.
If I had seen this before purchasing my P1S it would have made the decision much easier than it was! Brilliant work - on the presentation and on that case design. I'll be giving this a go for sure.
@@rkatz69Just out of curiosity, what would be the need to bypass the filament NFC? You can use any brand filament out of the box, you're not just stuck to Bambu filament only.
I'm asking myself if I do the same. Don't think the X1C is usefull for me, but I don't know. There are rumor of a new BL printer annoucement today, so I wait for this, in case (a new X1C maybe).
Awesome! Great design on the mount. Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you. 1 small detail. You mentioned that you would want a short USB cable.. I believe you meant 27 mm not meters. I think we all know what you meant.
For everyone with a p1S there is a hole on the right which you can perfectly thread the cable through to the usb port and touch screen. Do note you will need to unplug it from the touch screen to thread it through though
Thank you! Just printed it and read this as I was done with all the screws haha. Redid it and made a small cover for the hole where the cable can run through.
Thanks a lot. My next project for the P1S. It works good with the provided screen, but this would be a great addition to comfort 🙂 Screen and sensor are ordered
Printed your screen mount yesterday. had issues with it concerning it causing failures with printer alignment and leveling. After restoring filament settings things worked fine. reccomend if using the 3mf to not import project just the geometries.. Otherwise an amazing print
I added these to both of my P1Ss. Really nice. I appreciate the enclosure too, and it looks great, but it could be slightly improved. The backplate has posts for 6 bolts, and the posts for the 2 bolts that don't go through the PCB should be slightly longer to take that into account, but they're all the same length. Also, I thought the holes could be a touch smaller to give the bolts more gripping power. They're still functional as is and I didn't feel the need to change the model. Thanks again!
Thank you for this guide! Everything went smooth with your step by step instructions. I didn't have any m3x12 countersunk screws, but I was able to use some m3x12 button head screws which worked fine.
Yeah, that flip up design is pretty good. I did not like the side-by-side screen setup but now with this all I need is AMS support before I make the plunge.
Nice enclosure design. I did have to make one modification however. The six pad towers on the back cover are all the same height, but four of them are going to be seated on the PC board surface while the two end ones are not. I lengthened the two at the far end by .06" to account for the PC board thickness and now it seats flush across the back.
To anyone having trouble with their xTouch after having WiFi issues with the printer: I was having an issue where it would loop after clicking on the printer connect screen because my access code changed. Take the SD card out of the xTouch and delete everything except "wifi.json," then put the SD card back in the screen. Reconnect to power and you'll be able to re-add your printer.
Pretty soon manufacturing will start shipping without displays since just about everyone has a mobile phone or tablet. It looks to be a fun project but I don’t think it a color graphic display is necessary. It seems Bambu didn’t think so either. I think the reason the A1 comes with display is because it’s geared and marketed to the beginner. Much like switching out the hot tip. The higher end is marketed to those that don’t need the bells and whistles.
Thank you for this video, I'm looking to buy a new 3d printer and have whittled my options to the Bambu Lab P1S, Flashforge 5M Pro and the Creality K1. All the printers have compromises, I thought the Bambu Lab was the best option until I saw several videos about the interface, I know that it would really annoy me so I had discounted it. I was wondering if the printer could be upgraded with a touch screen and found this video. I'm going to look into the touchscreen but the Bambu Lab is back on the shopping list.
I love your video and the whole prospect of adding a $10 touch screen to my P1S. Unfortunately I've hit a wall with Windows 10 recognizing the ESP32 USB device. Been searching for an answer for a couple days now but it seems I'm not the only one 😕 Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck with a Panda
I found the source of the problem. I thought I had eliminated the USB cable by trying a couple different cables but apparently not. I tried another cable and it worked perfectly!
So everything you send to your printer goes to Bambus servers first before it gets to your printer.... That makes sense. Nothing nefarious about that at all... I'd love for one person to explain to me how this 'service' that costs bambu money to operate is somehow beneficial to the consumer and isn't just blatant IP theft. Hope you're not designing something that you hope to bring to market. It's a matter of time before someone prints prototypes on a bambu and those designs are stolen. This is a company that has had multiple serious security breaches already. The CEO also says cyber security was an after thought lol.
I installed this on my P1S and while it does work, there is some software development that needs to happen. The loading and unloading of filament process needs some serious refinement. The load and unload screen does not present the temperature or the status of the loading procedure like the little P1S/P screen does, so you don't know where you are in the process. And after loading, the temperature mysteriously goes up to 260 degrees and stays there. So for loading and unloading filament I'll need to use the stock screen for now. There may be other shortcomings as well but I have not used the device for that long yet.
Neat upgrade though I don't mind the original screen on my P1S too much since I only adjust a few things. Mostly use my desktop which is in the same room for files and more infomation. But something like this would be nicer without as much back and forth. Mostly I would want a better camera that isn't a 2000's powerpoint presentation lol. How does this solution compare to the Panda Touch?
This is a great design and I think I will be picking one up to add this to my printer. My only thing is is that I just completed the P1P to P1S conversion so my printer is now enclosed. is there any way to get the cable outside of the printer so that it can connect? Any information on this would be great help!
I was just thinking that myself. Unless you had some sort of flat cable a ugly solution could be route the cable via the hole on the top right hand side of the case. It would involve splicing a usb though. Until there is AMS support I'm out but hopefully by then there will hopefully be some creative solutions from the community.
if only this was up 2 days ago, I'd have seen it and very possibly got the P1P instead of the X1 that's already on its way. That puny interface was the main issue. The enclosure was a close 2nd, and the LIDAR was a distant 3rd. oh, well. At least I didn't spring for the AMS and frankly the enclosure is a good thing as I've wanted to print some hi-temp filaments. Looking forward to not having to fuss with my E3 Pro in any case and I think/hope I'm going to be very pleased with the X1.
Aww you're missing a trick with the AMS. Genuinely brilliant ease of use, granted the poop is extreme but it is game changing when doing prints with multi colours or support + specific interface materials. Zero hassle. Defo recommend as an upgrade.
When printing black the Bambu technical team told me to turn off the auto calibration before printing which has to do with the lidar, so telling me to turn off the lidar when printing black or nylon specifically since I was having issues with prints.
Your case printed great so thank you for that. On an unrelated topic any chance of a video showing how you made the flush graphics for it? I thought it would be a simple task but after watching the only two videos I could find with no results, was hoping you could enlightened me.
FYI I tried this with 3 boards and 2 different SD cards until I realized that the culprit were my NEW Sandisk 32 GB SD cards. The way I resolved this (with help from discord) was to format the sd card which came with my printer, and then use that in the ESP board which works great.
Im still waiting for my P1S in the mail. But does the printer not have a preheat option? Does the app? Feels like that would be an odd thing for them to leave out? I’m used to creality printers, and I’m excited for the upgrade to Bambu. But not having a preheat to bring the nozzle or bed up to temp would be disappointing Either way, great video! I’ll be doing this mod
@teachingtech Seems that there's a major bug when using the latest firmware on the P1S. XTouch goes to connect to the printer and enters an endless restart cycle. Restarts, you try to connect again and it restarts, etc. There's an open bug for this, but after a couple of weeks, no reply from the team with an ETA. Just purchased the screen, got the printer set up and it worked - until it did the firmware update. Now I can't use XTouch. :(
I really dont understand why some people hate the p1 screen. Its very rare when i even touch it i use the printer from my pc or phone all the time and the screen itself is more than adequate to operate if you have to use it anyways.
Really nice presentation Michael. Also, a beautiful case design for it. However, I must be missing something, what does this give us that Bambu Handy on my smart phone doesn't? I guess one thing is I wouldn't have to remember to have my smart phone with me.
I've been planning to do this mod for a number of weeks but now that one of the buttons has stopped working I have no choice. Maybe this will motivate me and I'll actually set up my filament feeder that's been sitting since I got the printer over a year ago
Shrug. I use the control panel on my P1P occasionally. But 99% of the time I do everything from the slicer or my iPhone. Both have the same interface as the X1 Carbon I believe. I don’t know how much I’d use a touch screen if I had one as the slicer is just as convenient. What am I missing?
can this be done with a bigger screen, ive found some that seem to be the same only difference is one is 4.8inch and another is 5 but i dont know enough about this stuff to know if anything else is different about theem or not, i know they are both esp32 displays but thats about all i can tell u, i just found a discord that has a channel for 5inch dev so its coming but looks like the developer is holding off until bambu labs releases something to do with there api is released, only thing i know about that is it allows developers to access data, i assume it depends on the tech as to where that comes from but on the printer i assume it allows them to be able to read the data coming off the machine. i really want to learn this stuff but have zero direction on where it start. ive been messing with printers for a good while now an have always wanted to learn how to program using the printers an little projects but ive never really knew where to start. i got a bunch of arduino kits an boards to start with an i can manage taking someone else's project an making it work but if theres any issues along the way an it leads back to the code, id never figure it out.but i got a bunch of those kits an they all come with little projects to do but not all of them are really that easy to follow. some are but others was not so i made it about half way through both kits an got occupied with something else an never made it back to finish them but i still have it all just need to spend some time with it once i figure out a good place to get info on the stuff thats for really stupid ppl.
Thanks, great video great explanation of the posible installation problems. I am preparing more things!! stay tuned XD

How did you add the chamber sensor and does it now show up on BS or Handy?
Same question, where do you mount the temp sensor?
@@TheBuefurdI’m not sure if my replies are positing, but I can’t see them. I put the sensor (in “Model A” enclosure) near the internal USB socket that Michael is shown using on his P1S.

Great way to mount the screen. Ordered my screen yesterday. Will get the mount ready for when it comes.

Neat upgrade though I don't mind the original screen on my P1S too much since I only adjust a few things. Mostly use my desktop which is in the same room for files and more infomation. But something like this would be nicer without as much back and forth. Mostly I would want a better camera that isn't a 2000's powerpoint presentation lol. How does this solution compare to the Panda Touch?
Could you do a video on how to connect the optional DS18B20 temperature sensor to the Xtouch? Also installing the temp sensor inside the P1P/P1S.
This is a great design and I think I will be picking one up to add this to my printer. My only thing is is that I just completed the P1P to P1S conversion so my printer is now enclosed. is there any way to get the cable outside of the printer so that it can connect? Any information on this would be great help!
I was just thinking that myself. Unless you had some sort of flat cable a ugly solution could be route the cable via the hole on the top right hand side of the case. It would involve splicing a usb though.
Until there is AMS support I'm out but hopefully by then there will hopefully be some creative solutions from the community.
Are you not able to just use an ipad or android tablet with the official app and mount that on a wall or somewhere?
Hi, love this upgrade. If I was to power it from the JST 1.25 4-pin connector instead of the USB, where can I find the power source? Thanks
if only this was up 2 days ago, I'd have seen it and very possibly got the P1P instead of the X1 that's already on its way. That puny interface was the main issue. The enclosure was a close 2nd, and the LIDAR was a distant 3rd.
oh, well. At least I didn't spring for the AMS and frankly the enclosure is a good thing as I've wanted to print some hi-temp filaments.
Looking forward to not having to fuss with my E3 Pro in any case and I think/hope I'm going to be very pleased with the X1.
You will still love your X1C (I have both X1C’s and P1S’s). The “skip object” on the X1C is still gold.
@@rkatz69 it literally just got here probably nearly the exact same time you typed your comment. Very excited.
Aww you're missing a trick with the AMS. Genuinely brilliant ease of use, granted the poop is extreme but it is game changing when doing prints with multi colours or support + specific interface materials. Zero hassle. Defo recommend as an upgrade.
When printing black the Bambu technical team told me to turn off the auto calibration before printing which has to do with the lidar, so telling me to turn off the lidar when printing black or nylon specifically since I was having issues with prints.
Your case printed great so thank you for that. On an unrelated topic any chance of a video showing how you made the flush graphics for it? I thought it would be a simple task but after watching the only two videos I could find with no results, was hoping you could enlightened me.
FYI I tried this with 3 boards and 2 different SD cards until I realized that the culprit were my NEW Sandisk 32 GB SD cards. The way I resolved this (with help from discord) was to format the sd card which came with my printer, and then use that in the ESP board which works great.
Very well done.
Im still waiting for my P1S in the mail. But does the printer not have a preheat option? Does the app? Feels like that would be an odd thing for them to leave out?
I’m used to creality printers, and I’m excited for the upgrade to Bambu. But not having a preheat to bring the nozzle or bed up to temp would be disappointing
Either way, great video! I’ll be doing this mod
with a p1s how would the cable route since it has a top cover?
I wish I could start prints with this
@teachingtech Seems that there's a major bug when using the latest firmware on the P1S. XTouch goes to connect to the printer and enters an endless restart cycle. Restarts, you try to connect again and it restarts, etc. There's an open bug for this, but after a couple of weeks, no reply from the team with an ETA. Just purchased the screen, got the printer set up and it worked - until it did the firmware update. Now I can't use XTouch. :(
I really dont understand why some people hate the p1 screen. Its very rare when i even touch it i use the printer from my pc or phone all the time and the screen itself is more than adequate to operate if you have to use it anyways.
@teaching tech can you post video on the temperature sensor as well?
Is there an updated version to this? The links don't take me to a store to purchase the screen
Thanks a lot for this ❤
cant wait for a 5" version
This is cool but I ordered the Panda Touch. It seems to have a lot more control to it. it can even control the AMS
Really nice presentation Michael. Also, a beautiful case design for it. However, I must be missing something, what does this give us that Bambu Handy on my smart phone doesn't?
I guess one thing is I wouldn't have to remember to have my smart phone with me.
Probably not. I do typically have my phone nearby but personally I'd still prefer this.
I've been planning to do this mod for a number of weeks but now that one of the buttons has stopped working I have no choice. Maybe this will motivate me and I'll actually set up my filament feeder that's been sitting since I got the printer over a year ago
Shrug. I use the control panel on my P1P occasionally. But 99% of the time I do everything from the slicer or my iPhone. Both have the same interface as the X1 Carbon I believe. I don’t know how much I’d use a touch screen if I had one as the slicer is just as convenient.
What am I missing?
Nothing. I do the same.
A little tip for everyone trying this: Your SSID (WLAN name) can't have a Spacebar like "Mc Web" it has to be "McWeb" in order to work 😊
can this be done with a bigger screen, ive found some that seem to be the same only difference is one is 4.8inch and another is 5 but i dont know enough about this stuff to know if anything else is different about theem or not, i know they are both esp32 displays but thats about all i can tell u, i just found a discord that has a channel for 5inch dev so its coming but looks like the developer is holding off until bambu labs releases something to do with there api is released, only thing i know about that is it allows developers to access data, i assume it depends on the tech as to where that comes from but on the printer i assume it allows them to be able to read the data coming off the machine. i really want to learn this stuff but have zero direction on where it start. ive been messing with printers for a good while now an have always wanted to learn how to program using the printers an little projects but ive never really knew where to start. i got a bunch of arduino kits an boards to start with an i can manage taking someone else's project an making it work but if theres any issues along the way an it leads back to the code, id never figure it out.but i got a bunch of those kits an they all come with little projects to do but not all of them are really that easy to follow. some are but others was not so i made it about half way through both kits an got occupied with something else an never made it back to finish them but i still have it all just need to spend some time with it once i figure out a good place to get info on the stuff thats for really stupid ppl.
The version I got is with Type C and Micro as Power.
And a ws2812b RGB LED in the back
The way you routed the cable it interferes putting back on the glass top on a P1S.
