It’s common these days for appliances to have a reversible door. You will see it on washing machines etc. While it’s mainly for left handed users, it also does make using some corner workshop spaces easier.
Not possible out the box as the frame is different on the opposite side but I’m sure it could be done if you have some basic tools and some modeling experience.
While I am not left handed, the location of my printer at the right hand side of my desk would have been more advantageous to mount opening from left to right as opposed to right to left like now. I actually toyed with the idea of drilling and tapping new holes in the frame but truth be told, I got too lazy and just never got around to it. Maybe one day I’ll try it.
To answer your question, it’s possible, but for the best results and to avoid damaging the glass door due to misaligned hinges, it’s recommended to disassemble most of the frame and create a guide-hole fixture for accurate hole placement and angle. This will ensure the safety of your glass door. As my grandpappy used to say “glass don’t bend”.
There are stl files available but it’s not as easy as flipping the door 180°
Also note that every door hinge assembly available that I’ve seen looks ugly as Hell lol
Probably better off reorganizing your space to accommodate a right swinging door

You’re more right than you may know. From the start, the whole door installation on a P1P was a kluge. Since the P1P is aledgedly the identical frame as the X1, you would would have though they would have figured it out. But noooooo… The video instructions actually tell you to bend the frame in order to get the hinge in the frame. That definitely signals not thought ahead. That and the fact that the front bezel of the P1P was short by about 8cm leaving an ugly gap which one had to print up a make-shift barrier. Since the release of the P1S, I had to wait 5 months for all the upgrade components I needed to come into stock in order to meet the $50 min. There they fixed the door gap in the P1S by growing the dimension where the gap occurred.
Boooooo…
My X1C has some simple mechanical mods, mostly bolt ons, but I’m not ever messing with the frame
Its too easy for things to go out of alignment and cause all kinds of leveling issues
Thank 3d printing Jebus for auto bed leveling lol
Just print a TPU door gasket for yours and you’re golden
I did that too and although I can’t say it hurt, it didn’t really make too much of a difference. The key was the installation of the P1S front and back bezel. That finished up the cabinet sufficiently while still permitting me to make use of the peg board side skins which I find really useful.
All in all, I feel like I built the printer thrice in the six months I’ve had it. First was to skin it, then modify the back plate to seal it, then add the doors and the glass lid and then finally I had to design my own version of an LED Riser so that I could have off-set lighting in the chamber.
Modding my P1P is a lot of fun because I get to design things just for myself without any deadlines or constraints. In my regular job, I have to prioritize tasks that generate revenue, even if they’re not always enjoyable. For the past decade, I’ve mostly been a customer for 3D printing services, but now with the P1, I can seize the opportunity to create things I truly enjoy. However, I don’t envision turning this into a career, as that would make it feel more like work and less like a hobby.
