Hi all,
If I want to heat the chamber of my P1s to try printing ABS, what maximum temperature do you think is recommended, given that unlike the X1c, the side panels of the P1s are made of plastic?
I would use the ChituSistems H2 heater.
I print a lot of ABS and from my experience the P series printer doesn’t need a chamber heater to print ABS. The bed at 100c will warm the chamber to ~50c.

Thanks for the quick reply.
My intention is to accelerate the heating of the print chamber, which occurs passively thanks to the heat of the bed.
50 degrees Celsius?
Okay, I’ll try as soon as possible.
Thanks
You don’t need an external heater for a P1S and ABS.
I’ve gotten to where I print almost everything using ABS and a smooth (non-flexxing) build plate.
My printer goes from stone cold when I send the print command via Studio and hard to see a chamber heater having much of an impact on the nozzles actual temperature getting to setpoint in a meaningfully quicker rate.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have the TEXTURED PEI PLATE from bambulab, and I also just received the GLACIER plate from biqu.
Which one do you recommend for my first tests?
Mine is not a BL plate. It is either a Dark Moon or Lightyear 3D build plate. I have both and use both interchangeably.
If you do a search on Amazon for either G10 or Garolite you’ll get lots of different brand plates.
My understanding is that G10/Garolite is a high temperature rigid Fiber/epoxy plate. Being non-magnetic, the ones I have have Are mounted on a magnetic backing plate.
I do not like the gold BL plate due to the rough bottom surface imparted to prints.
I do have a BL Super Tack which I have used on PETG-HF
I understand, thanks for the reply
