Can anyone tell me what is the temperature symbol for under the hotbed and nozzle? It only maxs out to 5
First pictures can help. I assume that you are talking about this in Bambu Slicer.
The yellow arrow points to the heater control for the nozzle.
The red arrow points to the heater control for the bed.
The green arrow points to the heater control for the chamber.
The chamber does not have a separate heater. The heat from the bed and nozzle slowly raise the temperature inside the printer when it is enclosed, like the X1. The X1 regulates this temperature with a chamber fan that sucks hot air out of the chamber and allows cooler air to come in.
The P1P does not come with an enclosure or a chamber fan. Unless they are added the green arrow/chamber temp control is doing nothing.

Wow I’ve never even noticed that third temperature before, and I consider myself to be very observant!
@Artolove what do you mean it maxes out to 5? Are you able to set it up to 5, or does it show numbers for you automatically up to 5?
Does this activate after adding the chamber fan? I was under the impression that you would at least need the temp sensor from the X1 series for it to show anything.

I move can it up from 1 to 5 but I have no idea what it does.

I did add a chamber fan but I do not know if this is when it started reading
It allows me to set it from 0-5 on temps. Do you know what it’s for?

Julie will you come and set up my printer lol
@Artolove You made me laugh. Thanks!
I would suggest doing a search in this forum and the Reddit for Bambu Lab. I am sure there are posts about adding a chamber fan to the P1P that will have more information. I do not have an enclosure on my P1P, so my information is limited.
Thanks, but I was thinking you had done it and that’s how it worked for you. I’ve seen a few posts about it, but will probably wait until I install my fans and just deal with it then. In one of the posts, someone mentioned just installing the fan would be enough to get the board to send a temp to the slicer, but that seems odd. The fan doesn’t appear to have a thermometer on it so I can’t imagine it would work correctly without the temp sensor.

I have the Mainboard fan, aux fan, and chamber fan with the x1s activated carbon filter installed on my P1P and the only way to control the chamber fan with the P1P is with gcode in the filaments profile under advanced, if I’m not wrong its speeds are next to the M106 P3 command…the number after that is the speed, S0-S255. S0 being off, S128 50% then S255 being 100%. My temp for the chamber only reads _ since the chamber temp sensor is located on the emergency stop button circuit board on the X1 series. Also I don’t have the cham with the % and fan symbol showing in my slicers or Bambu Handy app, and I did just update Orca to V1.6.3, was this after a update? All the generic filament profiles have the gcode already pre written for the filaments in Bambu Studio and Orca Slicer that you would need to use a chamber fan with.

When I installed my chamber fan I went inside the Bambu studio files and found where chamber fan was turn off. I simply put yes where it originally had no. The fan works now without me doing anything with the gcode. Turns on and off automatically depending on my filament setup. Can you tell me how you got your main board to work?
I did the same thing when I first installed the chamber fan, but when I was printing, the icon lit up showing that it was on, in reality it was off, so I just disabled it after that, it was already working fine since it is already in all the preset filament’s gcode without going into the program files and changing it from false to true, so it is good for me. For the mainboard fan I just got the mc fan from the X1 and plugged it into the port on the mainboard and it has been working fine, I did read about having to add it into the machine start and end gcode for the first 300 P1Ps made, but mine worked, my P1P was ordered with the first restocking of units.
thats the chamber temperature on th x1, but since the p1p has no sensor its usually blank. the 5° are just a false reading. the p1p cant measure anything there.
