Hi, I have a P1P from April that I put in a Creality Enclosure since I already had it. I noticed now through the guide on Wiki that you have to put a fan on the motherboard because you risk generating excessive heat behind, is this correct?
Can you advise me which one to mount and that it works well?
Yes, if you print high-temperature filaments you need a fan. On Reddit you will find a guide to add / replace a fan on P1P / X1C: Reddit - Dive into anything
Attention, the default with P1P using enclosure is, that the cool air is coming from the back of the device, which is normally outside of the enclosure. So if you put the P1P completly into an enclosure, take care to get enough cooled air to the back of the P1P, where the MC fan sits.
I think I will have to spend the money on a type of enclosure with plexiglass instead of that type.
I was hoping not to have to spend that money but I’m obligated at this end. 
PS. thanks for the guide on reddit 
i can recommend you the ARC enclosure to print. there are many kits available online. then you don’t have the whole printer in a hot environment. however you can put a fan on the stepper controller. here is the instruction

I think these full enclosures are not good for the printers at all - at least not how they are currently built. Even when you add that MC fan. The arc enclosure doesn’t shield any components from being exposed to the heat which they are due to the cutout in the back where the z axis lead screw is located. Power supplies don’t like heat and will wear out sooner that way. Also the XY steppers will break sooner than later. My P1P is not enclosed and these motors already get really hot - too hot to touch (more than 75°C, when printing with a default PLA setting at “silent” speed). Also the extruder motor will not hold up for very long that way. Since the X1C is built that way, I actually think that might cause issues in the long run. I suppose that might be one reason why the X1C can’t and shouldn’t be actively heated.
However I think it, can be done and I’m currently thinking about ways to solve it, because I would like to fully enclose my P1P and add active heating. as well.
I can understand your concerns, but I think it will be ok. If the X1C had additional heat management, I’d agree, but as it is, Bambu has found the hot steppers and power supply are sustainable.
The only argument I see to the contrary is how badly they cooled the mainboard on the X1C. It’s a fan that is taped in a bad position, and in some cases, actually touching the heatsink, man… Can’t understand how the same company designed this printer.
Active heating likely wasn’t a feature they wanted when designing it. The price would have gone up significantly. You have to manage so many other issues along with component expansion. It just would have extended the release and price, for a feature that most wouldn’t use. Having a chamber capable of 75C would likely be the number most would be happy with, but most of us don’t print PA/PET and PC enough to make it a priority (and note PC would need a lot more temp to really be helpful, Tg of 145C).
I used to think the active heater on the Qidi Tech Plus 3 was a great advantage, but I’d bet its only marginally better with ABS, PC and Nylon. After learning more about glass transition temps and why they are important, the active heating push is going to need some serious R&D to be of real use.
Personally, I’m waiting for the day that consumer printers can print PEEK/PEKK. But I feel that’s a long way off, 150C beds, 500C nozzles, 150C chambers… LOL, the more I talk about it the more it seems like a pipe dream now. Granted they can be home built but that seems like a lot of headaches wasting some expensive filament while you sort out all the design issues.
As far as enclosures, I used the one Bambu provides and added the front and top glass panels from the X1. It’s does require some modifications to the STLs but it’s not difficult.
You really only need to sustain a chamber temp of around 40-50°C to help with PC, Nylon and ASA. I’ve only seen 48°C in my P1P with Vision enclosure (https://www.printables.com/model/363079-bambu-lab-p1p-vision-enclosure) enclosed (not entirely sealed, as there are still some gaps). That was with the max P1P bed temp of 100°C running for a few hours. The X1C has the chamber regulator fan but I don’t think it is needed unless you can sustain well over 50°C, which unless your enclosure is very well sealed you aren’t going to reach in the P1P. The steppers should be fine unless they are very poor quality. I have run the same temperatures in my enclosed Prusa MK3S for many 1000’s of hours without any issues.
Yes, you’re right. Temperatures around 75°C would introduce a lot of issues. The reason why I’d like to add active heating is not a higher temp, but getting to the target temperature more quickly and also making sure it stays constant (using the chamber fan and filters).
Adding some modifications to reduce the temperature of the PSU and motors will likely help them last longer. The only thing that is harder to achieve is cooling of the extruder motor. Using a fan at 60°C isn’t very practical. But I wasn’t planning on adding liquid cooling, at least not now. In that case it would also make sense to cool the hotend with it as well and it would reduce some of the noise, which is not a priority for me right now.
I love my P1P, it’s my first 3D Printer and i have it since January. I Printed with it PLA, PLA-CF, PETG, ABS, ASA, PET-CF without any issues. I Print my Enclosure first with PLA and my second one With BambuLab PET-CF. I have 2 AMS Systems and add all things like Chamber Fan, MC Board Fan, Hardened stell nozzle and gear, cable chain. I don’t need the X1CC at the moment but my second printer i will buy the X1CC or when BambuLab bring a new Printer to the market with bigger print volume.
Swings and roundabouts, keep it cool with fans and you also keep out the dust which is also a killer, don’t use a housing and risk all the parts dying early because of dust and other foreign objects.
I made a full enclosure for mine, it never gets too hot, it has vents at the top, the door comes off and the top can be removed in seconds, but also I am not having to remove dust or other objects daily like before the frame was made
I agree, dust is actually one of the factors that is usually not considered but is a great risk factor. I have my printer not enclosed yet, because it’s was less than two weeks when I bought it and I can already see dust building up all over it. I’m using it constantly though and its not like it’s sitting there “collecting dust” as people say 
This discussion shows me, that my decision to build the “Vision” enclosure was the right decision. 
There were two reasons, which leads to my decision:
I have the P1P also upgraded with the AUX fan and the MC fan (5V Noctua fan), like it mentioned in the Wiki.
