Introduction: This doesn’t make my prints any better… but it does make my printer look way cooler 😂
A compact, ESP32-powered accessory designed specifically for the Bambu Lab A1, A1 Mini 3D printer. It replaces the original hotend faceplate with a custom 3D-printed enclosure (the “Box”) that houses a vibrant 2.4" touchscreen display.
📡 Live Status Display
PrintpooP connects to your A1 via Wi-Fi and presents real-time print data, such as print progress, temperatures, fan speeds, and Clock. Right at the print head. This localised status view makes monitoring more intuitive and visually engaging.
🎮 8-Bit Aesthetic
All visuals are styled in charming 8-bit pixel art, giving your printer a retro personality. Animations and icons are custom-designed to blend nostalgic design with functional UX and sound effects.
Choose between two adorable themes: a playful Kitten or a loyal Puppy to accompany your printing journey!
🛠️ Easy Mounting
The enclosure is engineered to replace the Bambu Lab A1’s default hotend faceplate, securing PrintpooP in a clean, integrated form factor.

After one minute of inactivity, trigger a “PrintpooP” swinging animation for the idle state.
-
After one minute of printing, initiate a “PrintpooP” swinging animation that follows the print head’s movement.
(This animation needs an MPU6050 gyro sensor attached as an option. The other functions work normally without this sensor.)
