Install and Test BigTreeTech P1S Mods like Panda Touch #12

Biqu / BigTreeTech just sent over a 'care package' for my Bambu Labs P1S, after seeing my comments in a recent video about how silly it seems to have a 1990s style dot-matrix display on it, when much cheaper printers now come with decent color screens (and sometimes even touch UIs!).

They've sent across a number of accessories... almost all the products in their for Bambu Lab Printers lineup.

I'm mostly interested in trying out the Panda Touch, though I would also like to see if there's any way to use Octoprint with the P1S. That may come later though.

I'm also testing out a few of their custom build plates—they have a line of different textures and things tend to be a bit less expensive than direct from Bambu.

The LED mod kit adds on more lighting to the front of the enclosure, but at the expense seemingly of color temperature—it's like 6000K which is quite glaring. Not sure if I'll stay with that or do some other mod for better interior lighting.

I am also interested in using octoprint on my p1s. There is https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-BambuPrinter
