It has AC main PTC heater. It is a bit risky to run AC main heater, but this has off-the-shelf temp-controller that widely used so I think it is going to be OK.
Look very neat actually.
Just for US$37, your P1S would have the active heated chamber feature that only X1E has. Just need to replace hot-end and extruder with hardened steel ones and then you are golden.
The only down side is you have to turn off this manually.
I’ve built one. I found them really not all that useful unless you were printing the more technical filaments. The P1S can get to 55-60 with little effort on it’s own.
These use the same parts that I used to build one. I did not like the Mains power, and control was iffy. While I know the printer holds heat, the controller would switch on and off rapidly trying to keep the temp up. Thinking I hada a defective part I reordered and encountered the same thing.
Yeah, I figured. I’m happy with my setup: P1S inside insulated enclosure. I can print ABS/ASA comfortably, no chamber pre-heat at all. My end game is to print nylon 6.
Tried PA6 once. It warped like bastard and deformed the garolite plate (aliexpress tk99) permanently.
Just bought 32 rolls of PETG from warehouse clearance, AU$8 a roll (or US$5.2). I think I have over 50 rolls in stock (PETG + PLA + ABS).
Now I think about this, I am addicted to 3D printer part shopping. I need therapy…
You acknowledged your addiction - that is the first step to recovery and staying sober.
You also realised that you need help - that is a vital second step…
Now all you need is a few more printers to forget about the first two sentences…
yes bro that exactly . last month got some promo from my friend in local shop . pla pro MYR50-65 , pla cf MYR70 , petg pro MYR 45-60 , petg cf MYR80 , sparkle asa & abs+ MYR60-80 . then i bought 15 rolls pla pro , 10 rolls pla cf , 36 rolls petg pro , 10 rolls petg cf , 18 rolls abs+ , 20 rolls asa . and guess what ? found it bambulab got dropped it price . a week later i bring out 80% of my saving buying 4 units x1c combo 2 units a1 combo … and now im struggling setup my workplace for those another new printer hahahaha , and plus my wife keep nagging with my greedy .
