Panda Touch: A Game-Changer for Bambu Lab 3D Printers
September 15, 2024 | by Alex Printwell
The Panda Touch, developed by Bigtreetech, is a sleek, 5-inch touchscreen controller designed to enhance the user experience for Bambu Lab 3D printers. Compatible with models like the P1P, P1S, X1, and A1 series, the Panda Touch provides a versatile, wireless interface that improves control and management across multiple machines.
Key Features:
- Plug-and-Play Convenience: The Panda Touch offers a quick, hassle-free setup without voiding the printer’s warranty. It’s compatible with current Bambu Lab firmware and integrates seamlessly into the existing printer system.
- Wireless Control and Multi-Printer Management: The Panda Touch connects via WiFi, allowing users to manage up to 10 printers simultaneously. This is particularly useful for print farms where managing multiple machines efficiently is critical.
- Improved User Interface: Compared to the built-in display of Bambu Lab printers, which can be limited in functionality, the Panda Touch offers a more intuitive, graphic-rich interface. Users can control print settings, monitor the status of each machine, and manage the AMS filament system directly from the touchscreen, making the overall process much smoother.
- Magnetic Charging and Portability: The device includes a magnetic charging dock for convenience, and it can run on battery power for about 30 minutes. This makes it portable, allowing users to move it between printers without disrupting operations.
- AMS Filament Control: One of its standout features is the ability to easily configure and control the AMS (Automatic Material System), simplifying the process of managing multicolor and third-party filaments directly from the screen.
- Group Printing: The Panda Touch supports synchronized printing across multiple machines. Users can group printers together and manage jobs simultaneously, further streamlining workflow for high-output environments.
In summary, the Panda Touch is a powerful upgrade for Bambu Lab printers, offering ease of use, enhanced control, and scalability for multi-printer setups. It is an ideal solution for both individual users and those managing 3D printing farms.
