Z-Axis Bearing Protection for P2S & X2D – Clean Fit Cover | Bambu Lab P2Series

P2S & X2D – Z-Axis Bearing Cover | Real Precision. Zero Dust. Zero Disassembly.

The Z-axis bearing of the P2S & X2D attracts dust like a magnet.
And the more you clean around the printer, the worse the situation gets.

That's why I designed a solution born from real measurements, not assumptions:
a clean, precise cover tested directly on the P2S, not just in CAD.

This model is part of my P2Series, a growing collection dedicated to real improvements for the Bambu Lab P2S & X2D.
Each part is designed, printed, adjusted, and retested on my machine until it performs flawlessly in the real world.
Precision here is not a promise: I verify it layer by layer.

Instant Installation – No tools, no risks, no disassembly

The design consists of two shells that fit together with millimeter precision:

  • notches that align to a tenth,
  • tight yet fluid tolerances,
  • once engaged, the shells become a solid, play-free protection.

And most importantly:
you don't disassemble the axis, you don't remove parts, you don't touch anything.
Place, snap... done.

Upgrades for my P2Series and X2D

Every model in the P2Series is born with a clear objective:
to improve the user experience of the P2S and X2D in a simple, reliable, and measurable way.

These upgrades are designed to integrate perfectly with the original hardware, extensively tested on real configurations, and optimized to ensure a cleaner, more stable, and more efficient machine.
It's an ecosystem of improvements designed for those who print every day and want consistent performance over time.

Print profiles included

Do you want immediate and predictable results?
Use my profiles: they are optimized for the P2S and X2D and work immediately, without modifications.
Turn on the printer, load the file, print. It's really that simple.

If, however, you prefer to customize the parameters…
then you are entering the power-user zone.
And at that point, I assume you know exactly what you're doing.

How I design my models

I come from the automotive world, where every component must respect tolerances, repeatability, and real-world behavior under stress.
I bring the same mindset to my Bambu Lab workflow: functionality before aesthetics, precision before everything else.

Most of my projects are created in OpenSCAD, developed with a parametric approach similar to engineering tools:
diameters, clearances, thicknesses, and interfaces are controlled variables, not improvised ones.
If you need a different fit or a variant for slightly non-standard hardware, you can adapt everything in seconds.

Every model is validated as I would with a prototype in a workshop:
real assembly, clearance verification, mating tests, and mechanical stress.
Until it works as it should, I don't publish it.

All my files are released under my Standard Digital File License, unless otherwise specified.

Replying to @Yemensis :
Right now have only PLA(black) and ABS(black), waiting for another colors to arrive for more projects that i have planned, printed it black because printer is gray with black AMS on top soo yeah, black is the only right option!!

Clean solution. The cover fits neatly around the Z-spindle and reliably prevents dust or abrasion from entering the lower grease. This is where everything else accumulates – you've solved it cleanly with this. Fit seems accurate, nothing grinds, nothing blocks movement. Functionally, the part fulfills its purpose 100%. ABS makes sense for the final version

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! 🙌I'm super happy that the cover turned out clean during assembly and that it really does its job in keeping dust and residue away from the Z‑axis grease. That was exactly the problem I wanted to solve.I'm also happy that the fit is OK and that everything slides without rubbing.If you have suggestions or want variations, feel free to ask! 🔧🙂

Print succeeded perfectly, easy installation, the only problem is that when the Z-axis goes to its end stop it hits the caps and makes strange noises, is there a solution? thanks for the excellent work

Thank you very much for the feedback and for sharing your experience I’m glad to hear that the print was successful and that the installation was easy.In normal conditions, the Z axis should not touch or hit the end stops at the bottom of its travel. If you are hearing impacts or unusual noises, it usually means that the part is not positioned correctly between the two screws.Please check that the piece is fully seated and perfectly centered between the mounting screws. Even a small rotation or offset can cause contact when the Z axis reaches its lowest position.I suggest slightly loosening both screws, repositioning the part so it sits naturally in place, and then tightening the screws evenly. Avoid tightening one side completely before the other, as this can create misalignment.You can also slowly lower the Z axis (with fine jog) and visually confirm that there is no interference at the end of travel. When installed correctly, the movement should be smooth and quiet.Thanks.

Great to hear that! 👍🏽 The snap-fit tolerance was tuned exactly for that — secure fit without forcing. Thanks for confirming it works as intended!
