P2S QR Codes For Old Plates ⧸ Second Life 4 Plates
Print Profile(2)
Bill of Materials
Description
If you’ve got some original and old 256×256 mm build plates collecting dust and a new X2D or P2S, this model gives them a second life, no need to give up automatic plate recognition.
 Designed as part of my ongoing collection of practical Bambu Lab upgrades. Each model is conceived, printed, and endurance-tested on my own machines, refined through dozens of iterations to match the printer’s true mechanical behavior. Precision isn't assumed here, it’s verified layer by layer.
Bambu Lab P2S: P2Series Design Journey
Follow me if you like my work, that kind of appreciation really dries my filament. Likes and boosts feed the Maker World algorithm and keep the new models coming |
I’ve got quite a few build plates from my A1, P1S, and X1C lying around, and none of them are recognized by my new Printer. Well, weren’t recognized, because throwing them away wasn’t an option, and printing new QR codes is easy enough.
I used white and black ASA, so the plates can still handle up to 110 °C.
To position the QR codes precisely, I designed a placement jig that aligns with the left edge of the plate. The codes can be attached perfectly with 3M 9080 LED tape, 8 mm wide and 0.15 mm thick, which is heat-resistant and ideal for this job.
If you’ve got some 256×256 mm build plates collecting dust and a P2S, this model gives them a second life, no need to give up automatic plate recognition.

Support for this model helps fund 3D printing in a local school in Lower Saxony, Germany. Contributions go toward printers and filament for student maker and robotics clubs, including preparation for "Jugend forscht" competitions. Likes, follows, and boosts help increase visibility and indirectly support hands-on technical education.

Bill of Materials Notice: Hero Shot models are usually printed in Bambu Lab PLA Basic, primarily Pumpkin Orange, Purple and Matte Charcoal Black. The Bill of Materials contains the recommended filament for the model, which may differ from the filament used for the photos.
