Description

UPDATE: DS1 has been updated to the significantly improved DS2. https://makerworld.com/en/models/149225#profileId-162800

Hello!

I got tired of waiting on someone to design a proper door seal for the X1C. So I designed one myself.

(After a year of continuous ASA printing this problem deserved a solution that is better than a piece of tape over the gap…)

After a significant amount of development I am proud to release the DS1 (Door Seal One).

At the end of the day, DS1 is close to the door seal the X1 series should have been shipped with since day-one…

DS1 is a flexure-based door seal that is designed for non-intrusive installation inside the door of the X1E, X1C, X1, and P1S series printers.

DS1 closes up the gap between the chamber door and external panel via a moving flexure design. This allows for a positive-seal to be achieved reliably without restricting the range of movement of the door nor interfering with the printhead inside through normal printing operations.

DS1 reduces heat loss (increasing chamber temp & reducing power costs are benefits of this) and VOC emissions from the chamber without compromising looks, changing significant components, or “Door-Open” operations.

Printing Requirements:

These are tight toleranced but long-term durable parts; materials and printing settings are important!

DS1 has been developed with Bambu Lab's TPU 95A HF as the primary material. Others may work but have not been tested.
Print the 3 parts one at a time, not 3 in a single build. The stringing of TPU between parts causes multiple problems.
Please use Arachne, 3 Wall Loops, 3 Top/Bottom Shell Layers, 20% + Infill (I have used Hexagon)
Please verify that end small ends of parts P1 & P3 are supported.
Please use 10mm Width 3M VHB tape. The thickness (1.1mm) of this VHB tape is critical to the design; feel free to press the foam tape to the parts firmly to 20 seconds, this will not take the end result out of tolerance as the foam expands back to 1.1mm rapidly.

It's time that tape bites the dust!

Please enjoy! :)

Ein wirklich sehr nützliches Model, welches den Bambu noch dichter macht. Für mich ein klares "Must Have"!

@IBWADDITIVE

Vielen Dank! Es ist definitiv eine dieser "Must-Have" komponenten.

@user_2040189551

Perfect fit on P1S! Thanks for that cool and useful model !

@azretracr

I was curious if it would fit the P1S. I figure it should, not like there's much of a design difference here. Thanks for testing! Adding to the list of things to print. Hopefully I won't have to cover my printer with a towel lol.

installed with 1/4 wide VHB tape works great. on a X1C. printed with bbl tpu.

thanks

@Schmiddy

Do these work on the top and bottom of the panel too? I noticed these areas have noticeable gaps in them too resulting in a lot of fume leakage.

no more leaks in the p1s too

Other Issues:I don't understand why this needed to be printed in 3 pieces, and when installed the top kept popping off when running into the camera mount. Other than that, it was a pretty cool design, but I ultimately abandoned it for a simpler designer that could be removed.

Try DS2.

Replying to @IBWADDITIVE :

I will give it a shot. did I miss this in my first pass, or is this a new design?

Tight, good, fit. I printed it in Bambu’s older TPU95A after setting print sequence to ”by object” and then auto-arranging. I wonder why it comes in three pieces as opposed to two? Actually you can fit in in one single piece, diagonally, if you sacrifice only like 1 mm in one end. but I just printed as-is and assumed you had your reasons!
