When printing with the enclosure all closed up, you can print small PLA object just fine. However, the larger the object the longer the print time and the hotter the chamber will get. The chamber has no temperature control, even though you might think it does because there is a chamber fan. But, that fan is only to exhaust the “polluted air” through the charcoal filter.
I even printed larger objects with PLA, all closed and had no problems. Thats the reason why i dont understand your kind of problems. The resuts were all perfect.
I also print PLA with AMS unit on top and door closed and PEI textured plate that came with the P1S and no problems at all.
Some color prints run for days to finish and all cooling settings have not been changed… and so far no problems at all.
At the start i had some problems with parts coming off the hot plate but that was my bad as i did not notice the default bambu studio settings was Bambu cold plate which has a very low temperature of 35 degrees instead of the 60c neede for the PEI and PLA to stick well on the surface… since then i have no adhesion problems whats so ever.

I’m going to say that people need to not mess with the defaults provided that much. Bambu has dialed them in pretty good… I use the generic profiles for everything and things just work. No tweaking or screwing with settings and having to reprint something 10 times to get it to come out. Now I don’t sell things so if there’s a little blemish I sand it down or trim it or whatever. That said I’ve got almost 2000 hours on this thing. Only changed my nozzle at about 1800 hours for the first time and I don’t need with the settings for the filament types, except TPU which I did have to slow down and run in silent after that to get no stringing, the results were awesome.
Open things up when printing PLA on ‘hot[late’. or else. I didn’t one day and the PLA deformed enough in the extruder to ‘not move’ in two machines. One was only that, the other also had heat creep up thru the heat-break enough to melt-plug the heat-break. One day, one time I just spaced and two machines went down, so… BAD JIM!! BAD!! BAD!! -=smack=- -=smack=- -=smack=-
And as others have said - Don’t jerk with the defaults unless you have to - I adjust # of walls, % infill, support type and brims - that’s about it and prints are fine / v. fine / excellent if the model is good and the filament is good - that’s across all filaments.
My son has an Ender V3 blahblah. I gifted him a P1S. 1st print he said “Holy Shiz!” blink blink. He started to tweak things before that 1st print; I made him stop. He ‘gets it’ now, after a run through various prints and filaments.
Have faith in the Bambu - machines and engineers.
