This is a foldable housing for the popular touch display for the P1P and P1S. No drilling, no ugly appearance, no loss of warranty!

This is the remix from teaching tech (YT).

If you want to get an overview first, watch the YT-video at teaching tech and leave some love (like, subscribe etc.)

It allows you to operate your printer quickly and easily. For example, temperature changes can be made with just a few touches.

The housing temperature can also be measured and displayed with an additional module

(I have already ordered the module and it is not yet part of this publication. I will provide a corresponding update here!).

With the folding mechanism you hide the original display and can use it when needed by folding up the X Touch.
This preserves the clear line of the printer and doesn't look messy.

My version is shrunk to the original width of the Bambu Lab display. To do this, I had to adapt the adapter, the cover and the back of the housing. I also reduced the size of the huge Bambu lab logo and placed it in the corner. I did without a compartment for the touch pen.

Overall, I also reduced the weight and the thickness of the case here and there and It is still very stable.

To make this useful modification as easy as possible for you, I am attaching the complete instructions here:

First you need the following things:

The X-Touch display (+ a free IP address in your home network, it operates with WLAN only)

Find the touch display, like this one, and make sure you find an offer under €10.

One SD card
It is not necessary to buy a high-end card with 1 terabyte. It is sufficient to use a 256 megabyte SD card.

Maybe some of you still have one lying around. I had an old 2GB card and didn't need to order one.

SD card adaptor for USB

I have found a fairly small and practical solution on Amazon, which I also use to read the printer SD card on the PC.

I have set up the FTP functionality via WLAN, but the transfer is so slow that I prefer to remove the SD card and process

it on the PC. Win-win situation when buying this adapter.

20cm USB cable
Here is a USB cable with Micro USB. I have ordered the cable "left angled". This way the cable points in the right direction.

But it is not necessary. It still has room in the housing when not angled. The board is even already equipped with USB-C and

can also be connected in this way. I do not recommend the supplied USB-C cable as it is simply far too long.

8x M3 with 8-9mm thread length

The M3 screws have a hexagon head. These disappear on the back of the housing in correspondingly recessed holes.

I have included the link here to give you a better understanding of the screw type.

The display spacer / Cable Management

Since the spacer can also be used for other purposes, I have published the spacer separately.

For the preparation of the display you also need a PC with Windows to keep the installation as simple as possible.

Optional the temperature module DS18B20
The temperature sensor should have angled connections, like this one, to keep the installation in the chamber

as narrow as possible. But I won't say more about the sensor until I have installed it.

Once you have everything together, you can get started:

1. Download & Install the CH341SER.inf.
2. Format the SD Card in FAT32 or NTFS with PC-USB2SD Adaptor @ windows
3. Start Editor.exe or, if installed, Notepad ++ @ Windows
4. Copy this into the editor and enter the WLAN name at home in the quotation marks for SSID and the WLAN access password for pwd:
   
   {
   "ssid": "your WiFi-Name",
   "pwd": "your WiFi Password"
   }
   
5. Save it in the root directory of the SD card with the name wifi.json and be careful not to save with wifi.json.txt!!!
6. Now insert the SD card into the X Touch and turn on the X Touch screen.
   It will now be fully initialized and ready for use with your 3D printer.
7. Open https://xperiments.in/xtouch-bin in your browser
8. On the web page, locate and click the "Connect" button to establish a connection between your computer and the xtouch screen.
9. After clicking "Connect," a list of available serial ports will be displayed. Choose the one asigned to your xtouch so establish a connection with the touch screen. Once you've selected the correct serial port, click the “Install xtouch” button on the web page. This will initiate the installation process. Wait for the installation to complete. You will receive a confirmation message or indication on the web page once the installation process finishes. Now restart the xtouch screen.
10. Select your printer on the X Touch and enter your access code (3rd menu / WLAN on the P1P/P1S printer display).
11. Once the printer has been recognized, you can disconnect the X Touch from the power supply and switch it on again for the final test. That's it!

There is a USB port behind the original display where you plug in the USB cable for the XTouch power supply.
For P1S owners like me, I made an adaptor between the printer and the original display that has a hole for the USB cable

so I don't have to drill into the printer case.

Adjust this interface setting here with your support-filament before printing with your filaments:

Hardware Installation:

After printing, it is advisable to pre-drill the threads with a screw!
Once the spacer has been printed, the USB cable must be fed through it and the printer housing.

1. Switch off your printer, remove the power cable and remove the printer SD card!
2. Loosen the 4 screws of the "USB" board to access the housing slot where the display cable was fed through.
   To be on the safe side, also remove the WiFi connection on the circuit board.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut the micro USB plug so that it is narrower and fits through the housing slot.
4. Guide the micro USB plug from the inside through the housing slot to the outside.
   Important note for point 5:
   Pay attention to the SD slot on the board, it bends easily when the board is reinserted.
   Also pay attention to the recesses on the circuit board and in the printer housing.
   Everything will only fit if the cut-outs are used.
5. Lay the cable so that the USB plug can later be connected to the circuit board and screw the circuit board back on with the 4 screws.
6. Screw the hinged adapter to the X Touch housing.
7. Now connect the spacer to the display, connect the display cable and feed the USB cable through the spacer and plug the spacer into the housing.
8. Now connect the X Touch circuit board to the micro USB and place the circuit board in the housing.
9. Take the back panel and screw it together with the 6 M3 screws.
10. Align the cable without kinks and plug the adapter into the display. Done!

Now enjoy this beautiful sight.

If something doesn't work, you are welcome to write me a PM or leave a comment with the number in the instructions where the problem is.
Please send a photo to better understand the problem. I will help you if possible.
