Air Stream Fusion FP P1S Front Housing Assembly

Air-Stream-Fusion

Following the introduction of the “Air-Stream Freezer” and the subsequent refinement of the “Air-Stream Turbine”, our team faced a new challenge. While the “Air-Stream Turbine” already ensured LIDAR compatibility and featured an improved torus channel, we observed considerable user hesitancy regarding conversion due to concerns about damaging original components. This was evident in your feedback across all models; many users were deterred from printing and assembling the model.

We recognized the need for improvement. To enhance the user experience, we prioritized user-friendliness. Our solution was to design a complete front housing assembly, effectively merging the “Air-Stream Turbine” with a suitable upper component. This resulted in a model with a further refined torus channel and a complete, support-free printable front housing assembly, which we have named “Air-Stream-Fusion”.

Once again, I extend my gratitude to the entire team, who dedicated countless hours over several months to this project. The project underwent extensive design, drafting, modification, and testing. Special thanks are due to Paul, who tirelessly reviewed numerous designs and dedicated significant personal time to compatibility checks.

Remixes of this product design are strictly prohibited, as no unnecessary phases or roundings have been incorporated. To cater to diverse preferences, 14 versions are available.
 

Users adapting this to an X model should ensure compatibility with the X1C or X1E. For P1P or P1S models, this is less critical, as designs compatible with the X1C or X1E generally fit the P1P or P1S without issue.
 

The primary difference lies in the P-series models’ lack of internal structures for housing group lighting, a feature exclusive to the X series.
 

How do I find the right model for me?
 

First, consider your aesthetic preference: closed or open design with pattern.

Closed look = F

Airy patterned look = M
 

Next, determine whether you own a P (P1P/P1S) or X series (X1C/X1E) model.
 

X series (X1C/X1E) = X

P series (P1P/P1S) = P
 

This yields four combinations: FX / FP / MX / MP
 

These codes indicate compatibility, with further distinctions such as P1S, X1C, REVO, Lettering, Big Logo etc. Select the option that best suits your taste. Note: REVO compatibility is only guaranteed where indicated.
 

Several models are designed for (or should be) BIQU Panda REVO compatibility*. However, lacking the necessary hotend, we could not fully test these. Based on user feedback on the “Air-Stream-Turbine”, we implemented the necessary modifications. We eagerly await feedback to confirm full compatibility. Until then, these remain designated “TEST MODELS”.
 

Most models require two colors. One model uses a single color; the FX X1Carbon model requires three, preferably including white, or transparent/natural ABS for optimal lighting. This also applies to the FX Clear model.

Unlike the “Air-Stream-Turbine”, the torus channel has been slightly enlarged, reducing the nozzle distance by two millimeters to match the Bambulab original. This optimizes airflow.
 

The models can be printed completely without supports (provided adhesion issues are absent; see time-lapse). Adhesion difficulties may necessitate a brim. All heat-resistant materials are recommended; we use ABS exclusively. Original-sized magnets (4x2 and 2x2) are required; ensure correct orientation during installation. We recommend using our print profile, or applying the corresponding settings. Optimal slicer settings are crucial.
 

We will not reiterate information provided for the “Air-Stream-Turbine”. Refer to the model and videos for details.

Enjoy your new “Air-Stream-Fusion” unit.
 

Air-Stream-Fusion

With the introduction of the “Air-Stream Freezer” and the advanced “Air-Stream Turbine”, our team encountered a fresh challenge. The “Air-Stream Turbine” already ensured LIDAR compatibility and an improved torus channel; however, we discovered considerable user apprehension regarding conversion, stemming from concerns about damaging original components. User feedback consistently highlighted this reluctance across all models, discouraging many from printing and assembly.

We recognized the imperative for change. To optimize user experience, we prioritized enhanced user-friendliness. This led to the design of a comprehensive front housing assembly, integrating the “Air-Stream Turbine” with a complementary upper component. The result is a model featuring a further improved torus channel and a complete, support-free printable front housing assembly christened the “Air-Stream-Fusion”.

Once more, I express sincere gratitude to the entire team, who dedicated countless hours over months to this project's development. It underwent iterative design, drafting, revision, and rigorous testing. Paul deserves special recognition for his tireless review of numerous designs and substantial contribution of personal time to compatibility verification.

We reiterate the absolute prohibition of remixing this product design; no phase or rounding has been added unnecessarily. To accommodate diverse preferences, 14 versions are provided.

Users adapting this to an X model must ensure the selected model is designed for the X1C or X1E. For P1P or P1S users, compatibility is generally less restrictive, as models designed for X1C or X1E typically function seamlessly on P1P or P1S models.

A key distinction is the absence of internal structures for housing group lighting in the P-series models, as lighting is a feature exclusive to the X series.

How do I find the right model for me?

Firstly, consider your preferred aesthetic: a closed or open, patterned design.

Closed look = F

Airy patterned look = M
 

Secondly, identify your model type: P (P1P/P1S) or X series (X1C/X1E).

X series (X1C/X1E) = X

P series (P1P/P1S) = P
 

This results in four combinations: FX / FP / MX / MP

These codes highlight compatibility, with individual model designations, such as P1S, X1C, REVO, Lettering, or Big Logo, etc., determining the specific model. Choose the design that appeals to you. Note: REVO compatibility is only guaranteed where explicitly stated.

Included are models intended for BIQU Panda REVO compatibility*. However, lacking access to this hotend, comprehensive testing was not feasible. User feedback on the “Air-Stream-Turbine” guided necessary modifications. We eagerly await feedback to confirm successful assembly and use; until then, these models remain designated as “TEST MODELS”.

Most models require two colors. One model uses a single color, while the FX X1Carbon model requires three, ideally including white or transparent/natural ABS to permit the passage of light. The FX Clear model shares this requirement.

Compared to the “Air-Stream-Turbine”, the torus channel has been slightly enlarged, reducing the nozzle distance by two millimeters, mirroring the Bambulab original. This enhancement optimizes airflow.

The models are printable without supports (barring adhesion issues; see time-lapse). Users encountering adhesion problems should consider using a brim. Heat-resistant materials are recommended; we exclusively employ ABS. Original-sized magnets (4x2 and 2x2) are needed, ensuring correct orientation during application. We recommend utilizing our print profile, or adopting the equivalent settings. Optimal slicer settings are crucial for desired results.

We avoid repetition of information already detailed for the “Air-Stream-Turbine”. Consult the model and associated videos for additional information.

We wish you enjoyment with the innovative “Air-Stream-Fusion” unit.
