P1P Cable Chain (Solved)

Yes it had details :rofl:

Is the current P1P toolhead cable listed on the website the new version?

You have to ask Bambu Lab. Very hard to see a difference.

Yes, that is the version (this one) they sent me after I received the above email. New P1Ps might already be shipping with that new cable too.

Yes it have!!!
I had to cut it away to use the cable chain.

Also, the new cable chain clip in piece covers the light if you’ve installed it. I had to move the light to the front of the frame.

I just slipped the rubber grommet all the way up to the other end so I could install the chain.

I got my p1p a few days ago, the chain on the website states it’s only for x1.
Is there a chain for p1p I can use?

Yep, it’s the same chain. See more details here before attempting to install it.

Thanks

The wiki is not accessible, it requires credentials to access that specific article

In your post you only mention for printers shipped before march 23. If yhe printer was shipped in april can i use the chain without replacing anything?

I just want to make sure

The wiki article makes it seem like P1Ps shipped after February 2023 contain the new toolhead cable. I cannot confirm if that’s true – only can confirm that’s what the current wiki articles states.

Here’s a screenshot of the wiki article:

Does anyone has made a photo of both toolhead cables and can share it to see the difference.

I have self-printed cable chain at the moment and moved the rubber to the cable end on my P1P (bought in Feb 2023). But I want to switch to the X1C cable chain too.

Do you have a pick of the new position bud? I’m working on where to put my light now.

I moved mine to the front. It gets it out of the way of the cable chain piece and also keeps it from blinding me when I look at the printer.

Buy the tool head cable at Bambu. That’s what they sent me after I bought the cable chain.

Yes, that’s the plan. But I have created a support ticket to clarify the situation with contrary shop and wiki entries.

The only difference is the cable covering. The old cable has a glossy black covering and is very stiff when bending it. The new cable has a matte ribbed appearance and the cable is extremely easy to bend. If your cable is glossy black, you should replace it.

Thanks, for the information. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve got response from Bambu Lab to my support question. They told me, “it may be blocked in the drag chain operation due to improper installation.” and it seems, that they preparing a cable chain especially for the P1P. I asked to add the information to the wiki.

That’s pretty vague. FWIW, I’m using the cable chain on my P1Ps with no issues (so far anyhow).
