V2 IS OUT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING V2 OVER V1!
V2 CAN BE FOUND HERE — VERSION 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introducing the Z-Shield V1; a superior Z-Axis Cover for Bambu Lab P Series and X Series Printers. I’ve seen countless Z-Axis Covers for the P and X Series that simply sit in the recessed hole for the Z-Axis rod. I was never a fan of these designs, as I don’t want any component of my printer unnecessarily rubbing against plastic every time the bed moves.
These can be printed in PLA if chamber temps are kept on the low side, but printing in ASA or ABS would yield better results. I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, or ratings if you liked this model, or would like to see some modifications made!
Key Features:
Installation:
You should hear an audible click as the Z-Shield seats into position.
There should be approximately 1.2mm of clearance between your build plate and the Z-Shield on the left side of the printer. Make sure it is fully seated towards the left side of the printer. The right side cover will have plenty of clearance but should be installed in the same way.
