Upgraded P1P to P1S still reporting it is a P1P

Hello,
I’ve recently upgraded my P1P to P1S used the original Bambulab kit.
I’ve follwed the Wiki instrutions meticulously and stil the printer reports it is a P1P

what dit I do wrong.

So you are running firmware 01.05.00.00 or later, using Bambu Studio 1.8.1 or later, and have done the following?

After the P1P Enclosure Kit has been successfully installed, please do the following settings on the P1P:
Click “Accessories” → “official enclosure kit” → “Upgraded”.

Does it give an error when about “Incorrect printer model” if you try to print? If not, this is probably how it is supposed to be, as this technically still just an upgraded P1P, not a P1S… although probably splitting hairs at this point…

Yeah I did the steps “Accessories” → “official enclosure kit” → “Upgraded”.
The firmware and Bambu Studio are on the latest level.
And yes I’m getting a Incorrect printer model when I try to print.

What is the kit you refer to?
What PCB’s did you change?
The AP board which is behind the touchpad is different on P1P and P1S
That particular board serial number has to be registered with BL.
Go to spare parts and look at circuit boards and you will see one for P1S and another for P1P.
They talk about the difference in the wiki also.
I know the boards are different but I would highly recommend finding out if putting the cover on and changing out the AP board gets you a full P1S

I used the original P1P enclosure kit.
There where no PCB’s in the kit.
Obviously it is not a P1P to P1S conversiion kit, only an enclosure kit with ventilators, a chain for the toolhead cable and PTFE and a modified heathsink for the PCB drivers.
But basically it stays a P1P what ever the top front says.

I think that is clear now.

Pretty sure he’s talking about this one :wink:

To the best of my knowledge, it will remain that way… i.e. as per the store page above

It is not possible to change the printer definition from P1P to P1S after the enclosure.

After meeting the requirements / following steps I mentioned earlier … I think all that is supposed to happen is that Bambu Studio is supposed to quit whining that you are using the P1S definition for a P1P… but since that isn’t happening, I would probably put a ticket in with support, outlining what you have done and what you are seeing, as it sounds like either a bug in the firmware, or perhaps newer version of Bambu Studio.

I’ve set the printer definition back to P1P and all is OK.
Thanks all for your thoughts and tips.
