RE: Biqu Panda Breath retrofit?
I just saw that Biqu has a chamber heater for the P1 series printers. Being they the Core One is taller, and the left side panel could easily be swapped with a non-recessed sheet metal panel, do you think this could be a fairly simple $110 chamber heater upgrade for our printers? I assume that it's stand alone, as integrating and controlling it from the Bambu firmware seems like something they'd be locked out of, but who knows. Either way, a left side stand alone temperature controlled air filter/heater sounds like exactly what the core one needs. I would love the ability to filter/recirculate chamber air as well. Even if we continue to respect Prusa's 55c chamber limit, it would be added value.

RE: Biqu Panda Breath retrofit?
I had an eye on this for a while, but its continuously delayed. So i went with the Creality one instead for now(see the modification section here). The bique would be neater since i could control it remotely, and externally maybe in the future, but it also seems a bit more bulky to integrate. My heater works great btw, the time to heat up the chamber from 7-55 degrees is ALOT shorter.

I've been tempted to do something like this. I might try your mod. I've been using a hairdryer. Works well enough but have to be in front of the printer. What would be awesome is something that could be controlled automatically via the GPIO board (or even better a direct Buddy Board connection). Kind of surprised Prusa didn't do something like this yet. It wouldn't be hard for them and can score some points. Pretty much every CoreXY (except Prusa) have active chamber heaters.
RE: RE: Biqu Panda Breath retrofit?
I've stated elsewhere why individually controlled chamber heat makes such a big difference. I don't use (or need) a multiplexer (MMU/AMS) so every time I need to print something I'm at the printer to turn it on and load filament anyway. Being able to turn on the bed and chamber heat before loading filament and walking back to the PC to finalize design and slicing means that everything is hot and stabilized by the time I send the job. This workflow would even allow the complete bypass of the heat absorption step because it can all be done ahead of time. When the time to heat up the chamber and bed can be shared with ~10-15 minutes that I'm already spending at the PC anyway, the overall flow works much better.
