Introduction

The Panda Jetpack V2 is a precision-engineered front cover upgrade for Bambu Lab P1 and X1 printers, designed to significantly enhance print quality and performance. It delivers omnidirectional cooling for superior overhangs and fine details, while its optimized mass distribution allows for increased printhead speed and accuracy. Equipped with customizable RGB lighting, it provides both practical print monitoring through visual alerts and aesthetic personalization - all within a sleek, form-fitting design that maintains the printer's original profile.

Installation

Tools Required

  • H1.5 Hex Key

Preparation

Before starting, completely unload the filament and turn the printer's power off.

Disassembly

  • Step 1 – Remove the Front Housing Assembly

    After disconnecting the fan's electrical connector, you can remove the front housing assembly.

  • Step 2 – Remove PTFE Tube

    Proceed to disconnect the PTFE tube by pressing down on the pneumatic joint.

  • Step 3 – Release the Cutter

    Using a H1.5 hex key, loosen the cutter lever screw just enough to release the lever assembly from the extruder body.

  • Step 4 – Remove Screws

    Locate the eight screws securing the housing - four on each side. Using a hex key, remove all eight screws. These screws will be used later to secure the Panda Jetpack Back Shell.

  • Step 5 – Remove Toolhead Rear Housing

    Separate the toolhead rear housing from the middle housing and remove it.

  • Step 6 – Remove Toolhead Middle Housing

    Remove the middle housing carefully to avoid injury from the blade.

Assembly

  • Step 1 – Install Panda Jetpack Back Shell Middle Housing

    Correctly install the Panda Jetpack back shell middle housing by aligning it with the toolhead and pressing firmly until it clicks into place.

  • Step 2 – Install Toolhead Panda Jetpack Back Shell Rear Housing

    Attach the Panda Jetpack back shell rear housing onto the toolhead, ensuring the top latch is aligned.

  • Step 3 – Secure Screws

    After aligning the housings, secure them by inserting and tightening the eight previously removed screws.

  • Step 4 – Install Cutter Lever

    Using your hand, lift the cutter lever and carefully slide the cutter blade into the designated slot within the extruder, and tighten the screw.

  • Step 5 – Connect PTFE Tube

    Insert the PTFE tube straight into the pneumatic fitting and push firmly until it is fully seated.

  • Step 6 – Attach Jetpack Front Housing Assembly

    Remove the screw securing the fan, then push on the fan’s outer frame from the front face of the housing to dislodge it.

    Position the fan into its location on the Panda Jetpack V2, aligning its mounting holes with those on the housing. Insert the previously removed screws and tighten them securely to mount the fan. Connect the fan's cable to the designated FAN port on the Panda Jetpack V2 printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).

    Connect the Panda Jetpack V2 front housing cable to the toolhead fan port.
    Close the Panda Jetpack V2 to complete installation.
