Panda Jet

Have one for each of my Bambu Lab P1S 3d printers. Easy to set up. Feels light, but is to be expected. Adds functionality to the printer. Can do everything in the slicer or Bambu Handy on my phone, but it's nice to be able to do things such as change the color of filament without having to use my computer or phone. Mount fits great, but I chose to mount to the desk above the printer. Connects with wifi so you can put them anywhere. A great upgrade for the P1S.

Great product and addition for my P1S. Easy set up. I will say, when you insert the USB cable into the printer, make sure you seat it all the way. I didn't realize mine wasn't and after a short time the display shut off because the battery died. When I went through checking everything, I saw that way too much of the USB was sticking out. Pushed it in harder and the display lit up.

Firstly, this is a very quick and easy swap for those who are scared to do this upgrade. I do like this as an upgrade to my X1C and I really only have one complaint about it. The magnets on the bottom of the fixture just are not up to quality, they are either poor quality or just too small and they really provide little to no magnetic attachment and this relies almost fully on the top magnets. If you print with 300+ mm/s or 15,000+ acceleration, there's probably a good chance this will just fall off mid print ( I have yet to have this happen though i print lower speeds ) Regarding build quality, this almost looks 3d printed, and might be. But it doesn't feel like it will break from light force. The logo is nice to see when lit up I have noticed some /slight/ improvements in my overhangs, but i feel like most of the improvement to this for me is when I have short layer times, it has noticeable helped me on those prints! Happy printing! :)

Extremely helpful, fast, responsive touch screen with good build quality. Using with P1S

I purchased this product because the non-touchscreen controller for the BambuLab P1P printer is very basic and I wanted something with more functionality to control the printer without needing to use the phone. Even though the Panda Touch is physically nice, it did not work well for me at all. When I tried to move the extruder head using the touch screen as the controller, the head did not move. Seems like most of the commands I entered into the touch screen were not responsive. I read online that I need to download some firmware to a USB drive and update the screen's firmware. It really should work out of the box or it should have an easy way to update wirelessly; that is already too cumbersome for a brand-new product. I understand that BambuLab is not third-party-device friendly so the printer may have breaking updates in the future, and it will be a pain to need a frequent firmware update. Also, the touch screen should show more information about the ongoing print - at least show the camera feed of the ongoing print. It does not have a way to unload/load filament either, so you'd still need to use the non-touch printer controller for that. Ultimately, using the BambuLab app on your phone is a way better experience - I can entirely control the printer from my phone so I don't see much benefit to having this touchscreen if it will be unreliable.

A few months ago I built my own remote printer monitor using an open source software called xTouch. The reality is I ended up never using it because the screen quality was really poor and I didn't want to invest a bunch of time and money trying to build something better. You can see the devices together in one of my photos for comparison. Then I discovered the Panda Touch. At first I wasn't really sure it was for me because folks often buy it as an upgrade to the P1P or P1S. I decided to buy one and try it for myself when I discovered that it supported all Bambu printers and even multiple printers at the same time. What I love! I use the Panda Touch on my work desk as a way to monitor my A1 Mini and my X1C. It has a very clean and crisp display making it is really easy to read. It is also a touch screen that is highly responsive and may even be a tad more responsive than the display on the X1C. I prefer purpose built and dedicated devices over all of the switching apps on my phone or PC. With the Panda I never have to open my phone and wait for the Bambu Handy app to load just so I can check the progress of a print. I can just tap the screen if it has gone to sleep. (Which is a configurable setting) It is a completely frictionless and familiar experience. It feels like I detached my X1C display and am now able to use it with both of my printers. (This device has a magnetic attachment to its base, so you can even detach it and run it wireless for up to 30 minutes) I have been using the device for about a week and I have found that I can monitor and control nearly everything for both printers. The display is a huge upgrade over the A1 Mini so I use it to configure my filament types and colors. The larger screen makes it easier to work with and the navigation options feels similar to my X1C display. The setup process is very well done and will automatically discover your printers once connected to your Wifi network. Any errors or warning that I would normally see on the printers show up on the Panda Touch so I don't have to get out of my chair to see what might be going on when I hear a machine stop printing. They include a little ducky in the box! Print from USB: One feature I have not yet tried is printing directly from USB. They included a USB port and this capability directly into the device. I was talking with my local library about this because they have a need to print from USB and The A1 Mini does not have a USB port. I don’t know that I will personally use this feature, but it is a great bonus feature and for some may be exactly the feature they need. Tips: The device shipped with an older firmware. I looked up how to update it was so easy I was able to update it via the browser on my phone. I have never had a device firmware update that was this easy before. Hopes for future firmware enhancements: I would like to be able to select the filament pressure setting since I have done the filament calibrations for some of my most used filaments and I am able to select it on the printers. I would also love to see an image of what is printing on the home screen. I love that feature on the printer displays.

I’m now able to complete almost perfect bridges. I’ve tested up to 20cm long with no issues which is amazing. At times there is maybe too much cooling which has led to one issue and the magnets aren’t the strongest so if an issue does occur the printer will complain the front came off. Still think it’s worth it though for the price I paid on sale.

This thing is amazing and so easy to setup. i got it for my P1S as my first printer was an A1 Mini with AMS Lite and i expected better from the stock screen but was dissapointed with the Stock P1S screen and functionality. this product gives me the ability to manage both printers and i can even undock it and take it into the kitchen with me to keep an eye on progress etc if i want. highly recommend this product to Bambu P1S users its a game changer !!!!!

It’s decent but you can do the same thing with an old iPod touch or similar. It is useful but it would be better if it had the live camera feed. Ah well. Not worth returning. Makes more sense if you have multiple printers. It works, it’s just kind of limited and doesn’t really give you much more. Better off using a tablet with the Bambu app. Edit: Changed to 5 stars. PLEASE if you buy this update the firmware on the Panda Touch: You can find it on GitHub at bigtreetech/PandaTouch. You can update the firmware EASILY by navigating to the Panda Touch's IP in your web browser. Update the firmware first (.bin file), then right after do the file (En-GB). Once this is done, you'll have the latest firmware and compatibility. Also models will display on the screen. They really updated it! Changed to 5 stars from 3 now.

We've replaced the stock ducts with these on all 5 of our machines and would do it again in a heartbeat. They definitely improve overhangs and unlike the stock fan, it doesn't matter how parts are oriented on the bed. They are not the easiest to install and do require picking away at the resin that holds the stock fans on,

Works well, can be slightly problematic to remove the front of the print head when its in the home position though. Did notice a pretty decent increase in print quality after installation. Remember to be careful when removing the original cooling duct as the adhesive Bambu uses is quite strong.
