About this 3D model

Bambu Lab P1P Cable Chain Assembly (1/9/2023) Designed a few parts needed to attach a cable chain, similar to the one seen on the X1. The chain helps keep the USB cable and PTFE tube completely inside the P1P, which is needed if you're going to use a covered top like the glass lid on the X1, also just like the way it looks! Latest Update All previous updates will be posted at the bottom. Update (5/9/2023) *Updated File - Cable_Chain_Frame_Adapter_Front_2C to 3C Added a 2 degree incline to the chain, which should help further prevent sagging.

Print Settings DO NOT USE PLA, IT WILL BREAK. Please use PETG, ASA, PLA+ , etc. I used Polylite Pro PLA+, eSun PLA+, Overture PETG Quality Please see build plate file. Support Please see build plate file. Other Bed adhesion - use brim if you're having adhesion issues * To remove the supports for 4A, grab the bottom of the support that printed on the bed and pull it outwards and upwards, you'll need to use some force but it wont break anything. Assembly Remove the tube anchor and PTFE tube ( I'm not using the tube anchor anymore). https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/maintenance/tube-anchor-assembly https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/maintenance/ptfe-tube Remove the USB cable rubber bushing that holds the cable in place on the housing. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/maintenance/toolhead-housing There's no actually way to remove it unless you want the cut it off so I just slid it to the other side of the cable 6 x M3*6 The cable chain should be 22 links . Push the PTFE tube though the opening and out the back side & re-insert it back into the front housing I have about 2in of the tube sticking out past the part. Insert the chain housing adapter 4A into place Step 5 & 8 should clarify how to do this , simply press it into place . https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/maintenance/replace-typec-cable The little side brackets face outwards Attach the male end of the chain to 4A, open all the side brackets on the chain and put the cable in, close it up. Snap 2B ( the clip) onto one of the chain links and push the PTFE tube in ( I have it on the 11th link) . I purposefully left the clip wider then the tube. During some testing it definitely seemed like the tube needed to be free of constraints ( especially in back right corner of the frame). The fit is tight as the clip needs to stay in place. I clipped it on horizontally then rotated it vertically Lastly, attached 3E Make sure to recalibrate after the chain is installed. Alternative location for the hygrometer https://makerworld.com/en/models/23650#profileId-22261 If you like my designs and want to say thanks, you can buy me a coffee and help fund the filaments I need for prototyping. A donation of any amount to Buy Me a Coffee or PayPal would be greatly appreciated! As always, given different printing environments, filaments, etc., prints may not work perfectly for everyone. If you are having issues please message or comment and I will try my best to resolve the issue. Previous Updates Update (4/25/2023) *Added file - USB_Cable_Cover_Hygrometer Per @xXSMOGXx recommendation I added a cable cover version that can hold a hygrometer Hygrometer - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GNMKYCZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Most of the Amazon ones are the same, as long as the dimensions are 1.89" x 1.13" / 48mm x 28.6mm Update (3/29/2023) *Updated file - Cable_Chain_PTFE_Clip_1B to 2B Shortened the height of the loop. Looked like it was getting to close to the underside of the frame. Improved fitment with chain. Update (2/8/2023) *Updated file - Cable_Chain_Frame_Adapter_Front_1D to 2D Simplified mounting hardware needed ( 6 M3x6). Angled PTFE tube upwards slightly to help lift the chain. Added a bottom support for the chain, big improvement on any sagging. See 2nd picture, chain stays horizontal when fully looped 180 degrees. No sagging. Integrated the chain mounting link into part 2D. All screw locations are on the back now, no nuts or washers. Will be posting a version with threaded inserts soon. *Updated file - Cable_Chain_Frame_Adapter_Rear_1C to 2C Angled the PTFE tu
