Description

Bambu Lab P1 Series Toolhead Logo Mod

This mod adds the illuminated Bambu Lab toolhead logo to the P1 and P1S printers

It utilises the X1 Front Housing Assembly available from the Bambu Lab store.

Just search under X1 Spare Parts for this item:

The X1 Front Housing Assembly includes the LED PCB. The toolhead wiring on the X1 and P1 series is different. The LED's are enabled by using a mini 24V to 5V DC converter housed in a printed part and wired as per the schematic. The model includes a printed lens which allows the logo to be illuminated in a colour of your choice depending on filament used. A translucent material provides best results. Two different lens models are included each with a different layer thickness which alters the brightness of the logo.

Link to 24V to 5V DC-DC Converter used in this project:

https://kunkune.co.uk/shop/dc-to-dc-converters/5-30v-to-3-3-5v-fixed-mini-buck-converter-step-down-module-airplane/

This particular converter was chosen for its compact size of 18mm x 13mm and its thermal efficiency ( low heat). I purchased in the UK but this particular model is widely available on eBay, Aliexpress, etc. A Google image search will list alternative sources.

The connectors on the LED PCB are 4 Pin and 6 pin Molex 1.25 Picoblade compatible

Great Upload! Which fan did you use, I have noticed they are different between the P1s and X1. Maybe one is better?

Hi, I used the original fan from the P1 as it has the right connector. I unsoldered the cables from the fan that came with the X1 housing and used 2 cores of that cable (Black and Dark Grey ) to splice into the P1 fan cable and pick up the 24V. The connector from that cable then supplies the feed to the LED PCB via the left hand socket. Check that you get the positive and Ground (negative) the right way round. If you peel back the label on the fan slightly where the cables attach you can confirm the polarity of each. The plus (+) and minus(-) are marked on the fan terminals. Hope this helps

Replying to @JimCampbell :

Thank you for the info. I’ve soldered the 24v into the board so I can now use my printer again but waiting for the Molex Picoblade connector to arrive, hopefully today.

@JimCampbell

Replying to @SJWORKS :

Nice work. I purchased the 6 pin Picoblade with short tails already connected just to simplify things. Let me know how you get on

Perfect instructions. Thank you

@JimCampbell

Looks good. Glad there was enough info for you to work it out. Currently working on a revised version which incorporates a mini slide switch so the LED’s can be easily switched off if required. It’ll be an easy add-on option for what you got already not starting over

@wkburkert

what wires did you use on the fan 24vdc? newer fans are model DB5015B24M-P and my P1S, like yours, has model YY5015H24B and have a different wiring order. My YY model fan also has sealed solder connections on the fan whereas the DB DB model are exposed, sadly I was planning on soldering my 24vdc wires to those points. Is there is good picture of the YY model wiring especially +/- 24vdc. Thank-you in advance.

It was very easy to handle. The only thing i have done different.. Is to take the Lens (the one that let more light trough it) and Print it with 100% Infill. looks great.

@JimCampbell

Hi, glad it worked out for you. I printed a few different lenses before I got the colour and level of light I was happy with

@wkburkert

a great little print that works as designed. thank-you

Replying to @JimCampbell :

hell Yes i boosted 2x because i love this mod. After this mod you can easyly Go for the Nozzle Light Mod too without pulling a cable trough the cable chain. because you can get the 5v from the LED Panel 😊

@JimCampbell

Replying to @Michaeldacostas :

I'll need to check out that mod.
