HICTOP Ceramic Heater and Thermistor for Bambu lab X1 Series 3D Printers

Same as the original. 10/10 would buy again. Trust me - I’m an engineer. Installed easily and fit exactly like the original.

Great clone of Bambu product line. I have not had an issue since I installed this. I do question the accuracy of the thermosister in reference to actual temps.

Both units failed on install. One shattered on first heating. The second had bad wiring and wouldn't maintain even heat.

My printer came with an extra combination hot end/nozzle but did not have an extra fan or thermistor. The thermistor is one of the most fiddly things to do when changing nozzles. I got this one to preassemble the spare hot end to quick swap. It comes with thermal paste to make sure there is good conductivity between it and the nozzle. It also came with a clip to keep the thermistor in place. It worked great. It has the two separate plug connectors for the X1. You can get the single plug version for the P1S too. Make sure you order the correct one for your printer. The two printer models are almost identical so pay attention to the tiny differences between them.

Worked fine for the first print then could not regulate temperature. My temps rose to over 350° c and could smell burning. Ordered a new one straight from bambu. Hopefully my printer still works fine after replacing with factory parts.

The thermistor works oK. But it was hard to get the connector in to the receptacle. Comparing it with the OEM it’s about a1/4 inch shorter

It supposed to come with a silicone cover but not (it's shows in the product details before I ordered)
