Best Bambu Lab P1S Mods: 25 Upgrades That Actually Work in 2026
25 proven Bambu Lab P1S upgrades: free printed parts, a hardened nozzle, the ObXidian hotend that takes PLA flow from 18 to 29 mm³/s, chamber heating, stronger part cooling and software. Plus the advice that no longer works on current firmware.
The Bambu Lab P1S is an enclosed CoreXY printer with a 256×256×256 mm build volume, speeds up to 500 mm/s, 20,000 mm/s² acceleration and a $399 price tag — and since 2023 it's grown the biggest mod library of any consumer machine. It prints great out of the box, so modding it isn't about fixing anything. It's about removing three specific limits: weak part cooling on fast PLA, a stock nozzle that wears out fast on abrasives, and a locked firmware that has quietly killed half of the loud 2024-era mods.
Below are 25 upgrades people actually run in 2026 — free printable stuff first, then hardware, then software. Each one lists difficulty, price and what it genuinely buys you. There's also a section on advice you'll still find in old videos that flat out doesn't work on current firmware. If your printer is misbehaving and you need a fix rather than an upgrade, that's the P1S troubleshooting guide.
Free first: printable mods
Everything in this section prints on the P1S itself in an evening or two and costs you nothing but filament. Ordered by how useful they actually are, not by download count.
1. Purge waste bin
The P1S spits purge waste out the back, and with an AMS running you'll collect a handful of it per hour. Without a bin it scatters across the desk, ends up under the wheels, and occasionally finds its way back inside. The rear-wall-less remix (153,500 downloads, 66k likes) is the most downloaded P1S part, period. Dropping that wall means less filament and easier overhangs.
- Purge waste stays put instead of scattering or getting sucked back in
- You can actually see how much filament your colour changes burn
- Fits P1P, P1S, X1C and the new P2S — one part for the whole fleet
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free, just filament. Heads up: the designer strongly recommends printing with a brim, otherwise the edge lifts. Source: model on MakerWorld.
2. Top glass riser — the fix for PLA heat soak
An enclosure is a win for ABS and ASA and a loss for PLA. Print PLA fast and the chamber warms up from the bed while cooling falls behind: parts don't cool between layers, overhangs droop, and the filament softens before it even reaches the extruder. Reviewers at 3DTool put it bluntly — stock cooling isn't enough for high-speed PLA and you end up pulling the lid off. A riser handles it more elegantly: the glass stays where it is, but you get a controlled gap underneath.
- Hot air escapes upward instead of pooling in the chamber — fewer drooping overhangs
- The glass isn't sitting on your desk collecting dust
- Adjustable-gap designs let you seal it back up for ABS in one move
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Community tip: get an adjustable-gap version rather than a fixed one — a fixed riser means removing the whole part every time. Source: top glass riser for P1S and X1C (16,305 downloads). If corners still lift off the plate after this, see the warping guide.
3. AMS flipper riser
Classic P1S-with-AMS annoyance: the unit sits on top, so getting the glass off means lifting the whole thing along with its tubes every single time. A flipper riser turns that into one motion — the AMS hinges up. Released in August 2025, it pulled 70k downloads and 40k likes in under a year, making it the fastest-growing mod in the series.
- Chamber and glass access without unmounting the AMS or disconnecting tubes
- The gap between AMS and lid means the unit picks up less heat from the chamber
- No hardware needed — it holds by geometry alone
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Important: print it in PETG or ABS — it sits on a warm lid. Source: AMS Flipper on MakerWorld. For AMS feed problems themselves there's a dedicated AMS troubleshooting guide.
4. Z-axis dust caps
The Z lead screws ship greased, and grease is fantastic at collecting dust and filament crumbs. Given time that mix turns into lapping compound. These caps close off the top openings — 81,187 downloads and 46k prints say people want them. To be fair: plenty of owners consider them pointless, and several owners in the must-have-mods thread say skip them. But they print quickly and they certainly don't hurt.
- Lead screw grease stays clean longer
- Quick to print, barely any filament
- Also plugs the holes small screws love to disappear into
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Source: Z-axis dust caps. Cleaning and lubrication intervals live in the maintenance guide.
5. Cable chain clips and PTFE tube guide
The PTFE tube running from the AMS to the toolhead does whatever it wants: it sags, drags on the glass and rubs the frame. Give it time and you get an arc-shaped scratch on your glass and a worn-through tube. Two cheap parts close the issue: clips (24,244 downloads) pin the tube to the cable chain, and a 45 mm radius guide on the toolhead (11,111 downloads) stops it kinking.
- The tube stops rubbing on glass and frame
- Lower feed resistance — noticeable on long AMS jobs
- The guide installs without pulling the tube or unloading filament
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free for both. Sources: cable chain clips and toolhead tube guide.
6. Hotend connector holder — if you swap nozzles often
Swapping a nozzle on the P1S isn't held up by the screws — it's the flat hotend ribbon. You unplug it, then have to blind-aim it back into the socket. An owner with 3,300 hours on the clock calls this part essential in the mods thread: he "would not want to use the printer without it". The holder parks the connector where you can see it and takes the abuse off the latch.
- A nozzle swap stops being a blind fumble — the connector is always where you can see it
- The connector latch stops being a consumable
- Variants exist for swapping the entire hotend quickly too
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Important: print it in PETG, not PLA — it sits next to the heater block, and the designers warn that PLA versions sag after a high-temp print. Sources: hotend cable guide (7,485 downloads) and quick-swap plug holder V2.
7. A nozzle wiper that actually wipes
The stock wiper is a bit of cloth that loads up with plastic fast and then smears it around the nozzle instead of removing it. From there the nozzle drags that blob straight into your part. A printed holder for a silicone brush (9,636 downloads) or a ready-made Panda Brush is the cheapest first-layer cleanliness upgrade there is. In the mods thread the Panda Brush gets called "far superior to the stock wiper".
- Plastic comes off the nozzle instead of getting spread over it
- Fewer blobs baked into the first few layers
- Silicone doesn't scorch or shed fibres the way cloth does
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free (printed holder) or about $5 for a ready-made brush. Source: improved nozzle wiper. If your nozzle isn't just dirty but actually clogging, that's the clogging guide.
8. Side spool holder
The stock spool holder lives on the back panel and forces you to pull the printer away from the wall. The side-mount version (29,868 downloads) moves the spool to the side: easy to reach, doesn't block the lid, and the filament takes a gentler curve into the extruder.
- You can push the printer closer to the wall
- The spool is visible and swappable without moving the machine
- Bearing versions exist — less jerk when pulling heavy spools
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Source: side spool holder. If your filament keeps absorbing moisture, keep it in a dryer — details in the filament drying guide.
9. Scraper handle and other quality-of-life bits
The stock scraper is a bare blade — easy to cut yourself on, awkward for prying big parts. A printed handle (31,707 downloads) sorts both. Same category of "small things that save real frustration": a hanger for the removed front cover. Without one people rest the cover on the XY beam and slowly wreck the toolhead cable connector, something the must-have-mods thread warns about specifically.
- Fingers intact, parts pop off in one pass
- A cover hanger saves the toolhead cable connector
- Desiccant boxes for the AMS are the other thing the community calls mandatory
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Source: scraper handle V2. If parts are either welded to the plate or popping off mid-print, the plate is usually the culprit — see the first layer guide.
10. Aux fan grille
The auxiliary fan in the right-hand wall of the P1S runs with a bare impeller. Fine while nothing else ends up in there — less fine when a zip tie, a chunk of purge or a finger finds it while you're retrieving a print. A printed grille (6,904 downloads) goes on in a minute and barely restricts airflow.
- Debris and purge chunks stay out of the impeller
- So do fingers — worth it if kids are around
- No hardware, comes off just as fast
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: free. Source: aux fan grille. You can control its speed from Bambu Studio under Device → Status → Aux Cooling.
Hardware: what actually changes your prints
Now the stuff that costs money. One thing to keep in mind: the stock P1S extruder and hotend routinely last 1,000-3,000 hours for most owners, and replacing them "for speed" makes no sense on its own. There are exactly two valid reasons — you print abrasives, or you've hit the hotend's flow ceiling.
11. Hardened nozzle — the first thing worth buying
The stock P1S nozzle isn't built for abrasives. One roll of PLA-CF or PA6-CF will reshape the orifice enough that your first layer stops sticking and wall widths start wandering. Bambu's hardened combo covers the nozzle plus the gears, so it addresses both parts carbon fibre chews through. Reviews of the P1S call out the plain steel feed gears as one of the visible differences from the X1C.
- Lets you run filled filaments without wrecking the nozzle geometry
- The combo covers both the nozzle and the feed gears
- A nozzle swap is a 5-10 minute job, no firmware involved
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: around $30 for the combo. Community tip: buy genuine or a known brand — the cheap gold-coloured gear sets from marketplaces get roasted regularly in the mods threads.
12. E3D ObXidian High Flow hotend — 60% more flow
This is one of the few P1S upgrades where the manufacturer publishes measured numbers. E3D publishes a direct flow comparison against the stock hotend, and on some materials the gain reaches 70%. It drops in where the stock hotend was, no firmware changes, max temp stays 300 °C. The ObXiDian 500 version goes to 500 °C and, per E3D, wears at least five times slower than regular ObXidian.
| Material | Stock 0.4 mm | ObXiDian 500 0.4 mm | Stock 0.6 mm | ObXiDian 500 0.6 mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | 18 mm³/s | 29 mm³/s | 21 mm³/s | 36 mm³/s |
| PETG | 20 mm³/s | 32 mm³/s | 26 mm³/s | 42 mm³/s |
| ASA | 21 mm³/s | 35 mm³/s | 24 mm³/s | 34 mm³/s |
- PLA flow goes from 18 to 29 mm³/s on a 0.4 mm nozzle — real time savings on big parts
- Per E3D the ObXidian coating clearly outlasts ordinary hardened nozzles, and the ObXiDian 500 lasts at least five times longer again
- Drop-in replacement, all you need is a 2.0 mm hex key and the included thermal paste
- The thermistor bore sits in a different spot than stock — you'll notice during assembly
Difficulty: intermediate. Cost: from $60 for the hotend with nozzle to $120 for a complete ObXiDian 500 kit. Mandatory follow-up step: switch the nozzle from Standard to High Flow in your slicer, or raise the max volumetric speed manually — skip this and you get nothing, because the printer keeps throttling to the old profile. Honestly: owners in the mods threads point out you may not see any quality difference versus stock — the win is flow and longevity. And even ObXidian gets eaten by aggressive PA6-CF, PA6-GF and PA12-CF, which E3D states outright. Source: E3D technical page.
13. BIQU Panda Revo — tool-free nozzle swaps
BIQU's alternative to the ObXidian, built on E3D's Revo system. The headline difference is that nozzles thread in and out by hand in seconds, cold, no tools — so picking the right diameter for the job stops being a reason to put a print off. It drops in like the stock hotend, and the line offers several nozzle options from brass to ObXidian.
- Going 0.4 → 0.6 → 0.8 takes seconds and doesn't need a heat-up cycle
- High flow thanks to the Revo architecture
- Drop-in for the stock hotend, no firmware edits
Difficulty: intermediate. Cost: around $139. Who it's for: people who genuinely bounce between fine 0.4 detail work and chunky 0.6-0.8 parts. If you swap nozzles twice a year, the printed connector holder from #6 is the cheaper answer.
14. Hardened feed gears
The other part carbon fibre kills is the extruder feed gears. On the P1S they're plain steel — one of the X1C differences reviewers flag specifically. The wear symptom is easy to spot: filament slips, under-extrusion creeps in on long jobs, and the bite marks on the filament look rounded off instead of sharp.
- Mandatory if you run PLA-CF, PA-CF or PET-CF regularly
- Fitted with the toolhead front cover removed
- Often bundled with a hardened nozzle, which works out cheaper
Difficulty: intermediate. Cost: about $21-30. Important: in the mods threads owners consistently say buy genuine or a reputable brand rather than the cheapest set — those are what people complain about. If under-extrusion shows up after the swap, check tension against the under- and over-extrusion guide.
15. Full extruder unit — when gears aren't enough
After a couple of thousand hours on abrasives it isn't just the gears that wear — the extruder body and its filament channels go too. At that point replacing the whole unit makes more sense: Bambu sells a stainless steel assembly for the P1 series, and third parties offer hardened versions.
- Replaces the whole feed path instead of individual parts
- Worth it if filament still slips after new gears
- Good moment to clean the filament sensor and the feed channel
Difficulty: advanced. Cost: $35-53. Note: this means pulling the toolhead and handling connectors carefully — exactly the kind of job where reading the official extruder maintenance page first pays off.
16. Build plates: cold adhesion instead of a hot bed
The stock textured PEI is good, but PLA needs it warm — and in an enclosure that's extra heat exactly where you don't need it. Cold-adhesion plates (BIQU CryoGrip Pro, Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack) are rated 30-50 °C for PLA, printed right on the sheet. A P1S owner in the plate thread says it plainly: the printer and the room run cooler, and he no longer needs to crack the door open.
- The bed only runs 30-50 °C for PLA — no chamber heat soak
- Less elephant's foot on the first layers thanks to the lower temperature
- Parts release as they cool — no prying with a scraper
- Double-sided plates give you two finishes on one sheet
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: $18-34. Honestly: surface finish is a taste thing — some owners dislike the glossy Frostbite and keep it as a second plate for quick jobs. Check the size: the P1S needs a 257×257 mm sheet. Wash with dish soap, not IPA — alcohol leaves a film on PEI and adhesion drops.
17. Serious part cooling: Panda Jet and Panda Turbo
Part cooling on fast PLA is the P1S's weak spot. The cheap step is the Panda Jet duct: it splits the airflow into several outlets around the nozzle so cooling lands more evenly than stock. The heavy-handed step is the Panda Turbo — an external blower that mounts magnetically over the stock outlet and feeds air to the toolhead through a hose. An owner two months in describes it fairly: a lever sets the mix of recirculated chamber air versus fresh room air, and he runs 100% room air for PLA; wiring is non-invasive, since the supplied cable plugs into the printer's fan port and the printer drives the blower like a normal part cooling fan.
- Panda Jet: about $13, ten minutes to fit, noticeably more even cooling on small parts
- Panda Turbo: roughly 80 mm PLA bridges with zero tuning, according to that owner
- A separate knob caps blower speed; at minimum it's about equal to stock cooling
- No firmware changes — the printer treats it as the stock fan
Difficulty: Panda Jet beginner, Panda Turbo advanced. Cost: $13 and around $139. Honestly: the blower is loud, and that's the main complaint. One commenter in the same thread bought it and saw no overhang improvement at all — so if overhangs are your problem, start with slicer cooling settings and the Panda Jet. Other geometry defects are covered in the layer shifting and ghosting guide.
18. Chamber heater — for ABS, ASA and nylon
The P1S chamber is enclosed but not actively heated — it only warms up from the bed. For ABS and ASA that isn't always enough and big parts pull their corners off the plate. What works is a door seal plus a heater: owners soak the bed at 100 °C for around half an hour so the chamber comes up to temperature, then start the big part. There are ready-made heaters for the P1S/X1C as well as printable projects like BambuSauna.
- Big ABS and ASA parts stop lifting their corners
- Fewer layer separations on tall prints
- A TPU door seal alone gets you half the benefit for pocket change
Difficulty: advanced. Cost: $40-50 for a ready-made heater, about $60 for a DIY build. Critical: don't cook the chamber. The electronics and plastic parts inside aren't rated for an oven, and E3D lists a hard 60 °C maximum ambient temperature for its hotend. And keep up with maintenance: after every 5 kg of ABS or ASA the official wiki wants the carbon rods cleaned with isopropyl alcohol — lubricating them is explicitly forbidden.
19. Air filtration — and why it isn't an exhaust
Time to kill the most persistent P1S myth. In late 2025 a post titled "the P1S exhaust fan is not an exhaust fan" pulled 1,790 upvotes: the author tried venting ASA fumes out a window and watched smoke at the rear grille get pulled inward. Days later came a 1,291-upvote rebuttal: its author believed the first post, tore off the rear panel, flipped the fan, stripped the sound insulation — and got the same result, because the test itself was the problem. Smoke outside the grille tells you nothing: the carbon filter creates turbulence that muddies the picture. You have to check flow direction from inside the chamber.
The practical conclusion doesn't change: the P1S system is recirculating. It pushes air through a carbon filter inside the chamber and cuts the smell, but it does not evacuate volatiles from your room. If you print a lot of ABS, ASA or nylon, you need real ducting to a window rather than faith in the stock fan.
- The stock carbon filter is a consumable — you replace it, you don't wash it
- HEPA + carbon combo cartridges cost pocket change and drop into the stock slot
- Printed housings with more media volume last longer between changes
- For actual fume removal you need external ducting; a filter doesn't replace it
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: $4-10 per filter. Ventilation, window ducting and ultrafine particle risk are covered in the fumes and ventilation guide. Separately: when printing carbon-filled filaments the community strongly recommends PPE — chopped fibres embed in skin and lungs easily.
20. Camera: stock, Tapo or Raspberry Pi
The P1S camera runs at 1280×720 — fine for confirming a part is still attached, useless for timelapses or judging a first layer from your phone. Three options. One: if there's no camera at all (relevant for P1P owners), fit the official module — the wiki has both the guide and a printable light shell. Two: hang any network camera such as a TP-Link Tapo C110 in a printed mount. Three, for people who want a real stream: a Raspberry Pi camera. The mod's author bundled setup into a one-line SSH script and gets 1080p at up to 56 fps.
- Stock camera: about $24, integrates with Bambu Studio and Handy
- Network camera: independent of printer firmware, survives any update
- Raspberry Pi: 1080p and smooth timelapses, but you're running a separate computer
Difficulty: beginner to advanced. Cost: about $24 for the stock module; a network camera or Pi setup costs whatever hardware you pick. Important: when fitting the official camera Bambu specifically warns about the fragile plastic latch on the AP board connector — it snaps easily.
21. Panda Touch — buy it with your eyes open
The P1S ships with a tiny mono display and a clicky control pad instead of a touchscreen, so wanting a real screen is entirely reasonable. Panda Touch delivers exactly that: a 5-inch screen, wireless, control of up to ten printers, 241 reviews averaging 4.86. There's one hard condition you need to know before buying.
- Fully functional only on firmware 01.08.01.00 and older
- Some owners report functions returning under LAN-only mode plus developer mode
- Downgrading is possible but costs you newer features — automatic AMS 2 Pro drying presets, for one
Difficulty: beginner to install, advanced to live with a firmware freeze. Cost: $58-75. Verdict: only worth buying if you're deliberately staying on old firmware. Versions, the intermediate Bridge Firmware 01.09.01.00 and the correct update order are in the Bambu Lab firmware guide.
22. TPU feed assist module
Soft filament and the AMS don't mix: TPU wraps around the spindles and jams. The official feed assist module solves it differently — filament comes from outside, either a dedicated port or a sealed dry box, and the module pushes it into the extruder. Per the official wiki it works with the P1P, P1S and P2S, supports TPU from 85A to 95A-HF, and needs no particular firmware version because it only draws power from the printer and exchanges no data with it.
- Soft filament stops wrapping and snapping in the feed path
- No spare port? It draws power from the AMS 6-pin connector via the included adapter
- No firmware update required
- TPU still can't be loaded through the AMS — external feed only
Difficulty: intermediate. Cost: about $50. Limits: softer than 85A and the filament winds up inside the module; harder than 95A-HF and it gets ground down. You print the shell and frame yourself — the kit ships the internals, the control board and the connectors.
23. Board heatsinks and anti-vibration feet
Two small things people fit as insurance. A heatsink on the MC board helps the electronics under the base when the printer runs for hours with a hot chamber. Anti-vibration feet cut vibration transfer into the desk — mostly a noise thing rather than a print quality thing, though the P1S's rated 55 dB is very audible during fast travel moves.
- MC board heatsink: about $10, sticks on with thermal tape
- Feet: $5-6, kill desk drumming and stop the printer walking
- Stepper motor heatsinks cost a couple of dollars and do no harm
Difficulty: beginner. Cost: $2-10 each. Honestly: feet barely affect print quality — fit them for the quiet. If you're seeing layer shifts or ringing on walls, the cause is elsewhere: see the layer shifting and ghosting guide.
24. Chamber lighting
The stock P1S light shines down from above and throws hard shadows, which makes the camera feed look worse than the print actually is. An extra strip along the top frame kills the shadows. An owner in a recent mods thread notes the strip visibly improved his camera image. The community wiring trick: a relay module into the P1S USB port, so you can toggle the strip from the printer's own panel instead of yanking a cable.
- Even light instead of shadows — you see what the print is really doing
- Ready-made kits run $9-20; a bare strip is cheaper
- With a USB relay module the light is controllable from the printer panel
Difficulty: beginner for a kit, intermediate for a strip plus relay. Cost: $9-20. Note: don't aim the strip straight into the camera lens — glare wrecks the image worse than shadows do.
25. Software: slicer, smart home and a desk monitor
The most underrated P1S upgrades cost nothing and need no screwdriver. OrcaSlicer (v2.4.2, released 7 July 2026, 15k+ GitHub stars) gives you what Bambu Studio doesn't, and in LAN-only mode plus developer mode it connects to the printer directly. The Home Assistant integration (2,272 stars, updated July 2026) exposes print status to your smart home, so you can kick on a fan when a print starts. And a desk monitor built on an ESP32-S3 costs $6: firmware flashes from the browser and you don't even need LAN-only mode, just the printer access code.
- OrcaSlicer — calibration tests and fine settings Bambu Studio doesn't expose
- Home Assistant — automate ventilation, lights and notifications off print status
- ESP32 monitor — progress and temps on your desk, no phone or laptop needed
- All three projects are alive: latest commits July 2026
Difficulty: beginner (slicer) to intermediate (no soldering, but ESP32 takes some reading). Cost: free plus $6 of hardware for the monitor. Easiest place to start is the slicer — we have a full OrcaSlicer settings walkthrough.
Advice that's still online but no longer works
Half the "20 P1S mods" videos were filmed in 2023-2024, and some of that advice will only cost you money today. All of this was verified against primary sources in July 2026.
- "Install X1Plus for root, SSH and Klipper." The project is alive (1,017 stars, commits in June 2026) but only runs on the X1 and X1 Carbon. It does not install on P1, A1 or P2 at all.
- "The BIQU Panda Cyborg board is coming, you'll run Klipper on the P1S." Announced November 2025. As of 29 July 2026 the BIQU product page shows $0.00, Sold out and zero reviews. You can't buy it.
- "Get the Bambu Extension Board and drive your exhaust via G-code." The wiki manual page is now titled "Bambu Lab Extension Board Manual (End-of-Life)" — the product is discontinued.
- "Panda Touch is a must-have screen for the P1S." Compatibility is stated up to firmware 01.08.01.00; current is 01.10.00.00. On new firmware the screen becomes a status display.
- "Fit the Bambu auto fire extinguishing system." The official FAQ lists compatibility with H2D, H2D Pro, H2C and H2S only. There is no P1S version.
- "The rear fan is an exhaust — just duct it out a window." The system recirculates. Testing flow from outside is pointless: the carbon filter creates turbulence and the smoke test lies.
- "Lubricate the carbon rods so the carriage moves easier." The official wiki forbids oil and grease on the X-axis carbon rods of the X1 and P1. Isopropyl alcohol at 70% and a clean cloth, nothing else.
Where to start: a sensible order
- Purge bin and hotend connector holder. Free, prints on night one, saves you hassle every single day.
- Top glass riser. The biggest PLA quality gain available for zero money.
- Cable chain clips and PTFE guide. Pennies of filament against a scratched glass panel and a worn tube.
- A real nozzle wiper. Five dollars or free — cleaner first layers, fewer blobs.
- Hardened nozzle and gears. Buy them before your first roll of filled filament, not after the nozzle is already shot.
- A cold-adhesion plate. Less chamber heat and far easier part removal.
- ObXidian or Panda Revo hotend. When you've hit the flow ceiling or you're tired of wrenches and heat-up cycles for nozzle swaps.
And the thing the community keeps repeating: no mod replaces maintenance. Cleaning the carbon rods every 5 kg of ABS or ASA, greasing the lead screws, checking belt tension — those twenty minutes buy you more than any upgrade on this list. The schedule lives in the 3D printer maintenance guide. And if you're weighing the P1S against its successor, there's a full P1S vs P2S comparison plus a separate X1C mods roundup.
