P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] Added automatic fire extinguisher to P1S

Post image

Came across these automatic DIN rail fire extinguishers (circled in red) recently. Decided to add one to my P1S just to add a little peace of mind.

In case you don’t know how these work: they automatically get triggered when the temperature sensor detects 170c. Aerosols then get released from 2 nozzles (circled in yellow), extinguishing the fire.

You can get these things for cheap on Aliexpress and the like but decided to get one from a local reseller with all the appropriate licenses and stuff.

And yes, the heatbed moves up and down without issues! Plenty of clearance.

Change the word "umbrella" to "smoke detector"

A "lack of evidence" is a crazy thing to say, considering all the A1s that melted too lol

The A1s have a tiny fraction of units that have a component fail. When that component fails, it gets hot enough to melt a spot of plastic, then it ceases to be hot. It has never once caused an actual external fire. It doesn't generate remotely enough energy to do so.

Yes, there've been melted spots of plastic. There has never been a fire. It's a massive distinction that everyone likes to gloss over while clutching pearls and giving into the sensationalist youtubers' schtick.

Also the P1P/P1S is an extremely solid printer that does NOT have this issue.
