Last time we installed a chamber heater. This time we will retain the heat with the DDW X1C Hot Box made out of 1″ insulation foam, aluminum foil tape, and roof repair material for its soundproofing property.

Preheating the X1C inside the DDW Hot Box with 30°C ambient, 120°C bed, 100% aux fan, and 100°C heater, the chamber reaches:

  • 40°C in 8 minutes
  • 50°C in 17 minutes
  • 60°C in 26 minutes
  • 70°C in 36 minutes
  • 80°C in 58 minutes, X1C stops printing at 70°C+, printer parts begin to deform at 75°C+

We mainly print PLA and ASA, so we use Bambu High Temperature Plate (Smooth PEI).

PLA Default Print Settings

  • Bambu Lab Glue Stick
  • 45°C heater
  • DDW Hot Box side vent opens 75% (adjust to maintain 40-45°C)

ASA Default Print Settings

  • Bambu Lab Glue Stick
  • 70°C heater
  • DDW Hot Box side vent opens 5% (adjust to maintain 65-70°C)

Note that ASA starts to experience heat creep or filament clogging at 70°C+.

If you’re experiencing bed adhesion issues, which we highly doubt, adding brims will help, setting the brim gap to 0mm.
