Thermistors and heaters for Bambu Lab 3D printers

In FDM 3D printers, a thermistor, situated in the hotend or nozzle, functions as a temperature-sensitive resistor, crucial for measuring and providing real-time temperature data to the printer's control system. This information allows precise temperature regulation during printing, ensuring consistent filament melting and proper adhesion for high-quality 3D prints. Collaborating with the thermistor, the heater plays a vital role in elevating and controlling hotend temperature, facilitating accurate layer deposition and preventing issues like under-extrusion. The heater's ability to reach specific temperatures is essential for accommodating diverse filament materials, influencing overall print quality. Together, the thermistor and heater create a stable environment, influencing the success of the 3D printing process by preventing issues like nozzle clogs and overheating through real-time temperature feedback.

These Bambu Lab thermistors and heaters are high quality official replacements for the X1 printer series or the P1 printer series. The user must make sure to choose the right printer model upon purchase since the connectors differ between these printer series.

For the X1 series (X1 and X1C), the thermistor and heater must be purchased separately. The X1 thermistor is made of plastic, metal and glass, and can operate at a maximum temperature of 300 ºC. It comes in a pack of 3 thermistors, 3 packets of thermal grease and 3 retaining clips. The heater for the X1 printers (48 W, max. 300 ºC), made of plastic, metal and ceramic, also comes in a pack of 3 heaters, with 3 packets of thermal grease and 3 retaining clips. Instructions on the replacement of the thermistor and ceramic heater can be found on the Bambu Lab Wiki.

For the P1 series (P1S and P1P), the thermistor and heater come in a consolidated module complete with an integrated terminal connector. This design enhances the reliability of the terminal connector, especially in challenging conditions. The ceramic heater (48 W) is capable of heating the nozzle to a maximum of 300 ℃, and the thermistor boasts precise temperature measurement and a robust structural design. This set of thermistor and heater (3 units) also comes with 3 packets of thermal grease and 3 retaining clips. Instructions on the replacement of the thermistor and ceramic heater can be found on the Bambu Lab Wiki.
