¶ P1P to P1S Upgrade Kit
We released the new P1S 3D printer and simultaneously provided the official upgrade kit to allow everyone to benefit from most of the upgrades the P1S brings.
In order to guide you to complete the upgrade more conveniently, we have summarized the installation guidelines for the relevant accessories in the upgrade kit in this article.
You can utilize the P1S profiles in Bambu Studio after updating the P1P to P1S, but Bambu Studio has no means of knowing that you installed the P1P->P1S kit. If you choose a different printer profile, that warning is standard. But pressing confirm will still do it.

¶ Safety Warning
IMPORTANT!
It's crucial to power off the printer before performing any maintenance work on the printer and its electronics, including tool head wires, because leaving the printer on while conducting such tasks can cause a short circuit, which can lead to additional electronic damage and safety hazards.
When you perform maintenane or troubleshooting on the printer, you may be required to disassemble some parts, including the hotend. This process can expose wires and electrical components that could potentially short circuit if they come into contact with each other or with other metal or electronic components while the printer is still on. This can damage the electronics of the printer and cause further damage.
Therefore, it's essential to switch off the printer and disconnect it from the power source before doing any maintenance work. This will prevent any short circuits or damage to the printer's electronics. By doing so, you can avoid potential damage to the printer's electronic components and ensure that the maintenance work is performed safely and effectively.

¶ Video Guide：
¶ Operation Steps：
¶ 1. Print the air duct (Click to download the .3mf model of the air duct);
¶ 2. Install the cable chain assembly and PTFE tube by following the installation guide(click here)
¶ 3. Remove the SD card, the screen, and then remove the front cover of the P1P;
¶ 4. Install the front door mounting kit (1 screw is enough for the bottom hinge if you want to lock 2 screws, you need to bend the interfering column slightly );
¶ 5. Remove the spool holder and the P1P metal rear panel;
¶ 6. Remove the auxiliary part cooling fan bracket (if previously installed);
¶ 7. Install the left panel;
¶ 8. Install auxiliary part cooling fan;
¶ 9. Remove the heat sink of the MC board and install the MC board fan;
To install and turn on the MC fan, you can add “M710" G-code once in the "Machine start G-code" and start a print, and the machine will save the settings.
- M710 A1 S255:turn on the automatic control of the MC fan,the MC fan will automatically turn on when the stepper motor is turned on and turn off when the stepper motor is turned off;
- M710 S0:turn off the MC fan.
¶ 10. Install the right panel;
¶ 11. Install the chamber temperature regulator fan and install the activated carbon air filter;
When installing the fan, screws are not required. You only need to attach the fan to the air duct. As shown in the video, three screws are needed to secure the connection between the air duct and the printer's lining.
¶ 12. Install the P1S metal rear plane and install the spool holder (Please complete the installation of cable chain before installing rear panel);
¶ 13. Install the P1S front cover and the screen, and micro SD card;
When installing the front cover, it is necessary to rotate the hinge outward; otherwise, there may be a situation where the hinge gets stuck inside the front cover.
If you encounter difficulty in fitting the front cover during installation, you can try loosening the screws located in front of the left and right side panels slightly (as shown in the diagram below). This will make it easier for the front cover to fit in.

¶ 14. Install the front door rubber strip, install the glass front door, and place the glass upper plate.
The front door seal is elastic and may undergo deformation during installation. We recommend aligning the front door seal based on the position of the magnet.
