Slider version now live and available Test prints have been successful and are now good to go. If you encounter any issues please let me know!
- still working on the minor accessories to match the sliding version as it was a complete model rebuild to accommodate them into the old/previous model (will be released in the corresponding folder here)
- Adapting a backplate mechanism to help secure it onto the P1P as they don't have a stable way to attach to the top
- Testing of 2812B LED strips with a BT 5v usb adapter and connectors or seperate power supply unsure of which will work best
- adapting the Backer into a more robust case enclosure (near future design)
Print File Options: (both will fit together)
Note: These will effect the top slotting for LED width, the interior walls will also be different but they will all connect together and not compromise the outside fit/look
Narrow:
- (N) has a 12mm Top Interior Clearance - Available Now
Wide:
- (W) has a 16mm Top Interior Clearance - Available Now (LED portions are coming ASAP)
- (W) v3_2 had wider LED channels then the v3_1 to allow extra light into the channel
Material used:
PETG or higher is recommended if printing higher temp materials
Standard: 360g +/-
Sliding: 425g +/-
Backer: 210g +/-
Settings:
Recommended:
- 0.2mm layer heights,
- 3 walls,
- 10-15% gyroid infill,
- 4 T/B layers,
- 75mm/s outside layer speed for better appearance
- Same as original but with an added LED channel, LED diffuser and LED top cap to add into the P1P frame.
- Works with the X1C glass top and you'll just need to get the TPU pads from the original file!
- Added back channel hole for the X1 series as well to make it compatible with both units
After print:
There are x6-7 0.4x0.8mm interior supports on the bottom to support the sliders during printing.
- Gently apply pressure from the inside back along the bottom of sliders.
- You'll hear several pops as they are broken free
- Use a small screwdriver or tweezers to apply gentle pressure pushing on the ends to help loosen the slides if they are being difficult
- There is an internal locking mechanism in the bottom but there is top and bottom clearance to allow it to slide.
- Slide the pieces together and install onto your machine!
Other pieces are coming soon and will be updated in the respective folders once completed

Revisions:
Dec25:
- adjusted tolerances for fitting the keys together
- added a thicker walls for top and filled in the sides for a complete glass top.
- raised the exterior rib 2mm to give the glass more area to be covered on the side
Dec 26:
- Added an Alpha phased version with sliding panels to the work file, tolerances have been tested to work and moving forward to production printing.
- Added locking channels to keep the sliders in place and help with vibrations moving the sliders open or closed.
- added more room for the top glass and other printed parts.
- Created new pieces to attach as the originals were very stiff and often broe while trying to connect them
- Added a back of P1P Top support to help hold it in place, it's a temporary piece until a full enclosure and side panels are created in the future
Dec 28:
- Added.3mf files of the builds with suggested settings
- Cleaned up the files for the Sliders and adjusted the Backer pieces to fit better
- Changed the status of the files to Beta as they are printable and should be error free based on previous prints and digital revisions
Jan 9:
- Uploaded the slider v3 files after PLA testing have been successful
- removed the locking key on sliders as it was occasionally fusing or not giving the proper effect and will look into another solution in the future if requested
- Wide version partially uploaded and will post the LED portions once they are completed
Jan 16:
- Updated the (W) file for extra LED slot holes to better allow light into the Chamber
