<p>I found out: when all things are prepared, then the printer should be power on. When it starts, the plate will be raised and the foam can be taken out</p>

<p>I bought a BambuLab P1S Printer and tried to assemble it. Beside some other problems, I am still in the unpacking process and don't know how to extract the foam from the printer because the heat-bed is not moving and I don't want to destroy it</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-07-05)

I bought a BambuLab P1S Printer and tried to assemble it. Beside some other problems, I am still in the unpacking process and don't know how to extract the foam from the printer because the heat-bed is not moving and I don't want to destroy it

According to the [Quick Start Guide for P1P](https://cdn1.bambulab.com/documentation/quick-start-2024-01-17/Quick-Start-P1P_en.pdf), the section **Printer Binding** mentions the following:

> 4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the initial calibration.  
>    It is normal to have vibration and noise during the calibration process.
>
>    DO NOT remove the protective foam from beneath the hot bed until after the initial calibration is complete.

While not extremely clear, I would assume that once the calibration is done you can then move the build plate up and remove the foam.

In the [Unboxing P1P](https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/manual/unboxing-p1p), the instructions in Step 10: Complete the Initialization, self-test, and upgrade the firmware:

> The self-test process begins after you click the OK button.
>
> Remove the fixed foam under the heatbed when the self-test is finished.

Again, you can then move the build plate up and remove the foam.
