P1P Sides on X1C
Has anyone printed some of the P1P custom panels and put them on an X1C? Or anything like the ARC?

how do you think that would work?
also why, just why… please tell me why you would want to remove the better insulated enclosure

Because they look like they have the same frame? And because I like Aesthetic things? I'm torn between the X1 for the function and the P1P for the pretty and if I could take the aluminum sides off the X1 and use premade prints since I'm terrible at design then that'd be a solid PRO in the X1 column. Also, the X1 isn't insulated from what I've seen in teardown videos. It's just aluminum.

The framing is similar, that doesn’t mean you should just rip the entire sides off. That’s not going to end well haha
If you notice my wording I did not say they were heavily insulated, just better than, you know, printer filament, especially PLA. Aluminum is a pretty good insulator.

Aluminum is not at all a good insulator, first off. It's the exact opposite, it conducts heat. And plastic insulates an order of magnitude better, thermally.
And second, I'm sure it'll end just fine, you don't need to cram your ideals down someone's throat just because you feel attacked at the notion that we're willing to tear down a $1300 printer without flinching.
On top of that. There's only benefits, not you can have whatever panels you want on it. and if you absolutely need the enclosure again, it can go right back on. But the odds of using it again outside of engineering grade filaments is low.

I'm waiting for my x1c to arrive and want to do the same. I like the p1p more because of the customization but I really wanted the screen and lidar. I could care less about the enclosure. If you find out let me know. I want to add a pegboard side to it or something.
It works but needed a little fanangling. Im gunna try some vinyl wrap next
Thanks legend.
Screw the status quo, let's defile these "perfect" printers.
