This Printable includes the main mount and switch mount to mount the 3DChameleon Mk3 onto the BambuLabs series of printers.
The large Base Mount holds both the 3DChameleon and the Electronics Enclosure on the back of the printer. There are two screws that hold it in place on the printer. Attach the electronics enclosure to the front left side of the plate (as shown in the picture) using the same screws and T-nuts… but using them backwards…. T-Nuts on the inside of the electronics with the screws going through the base mount, then the electronics enclosure and finally the electronics themselves.
Remove the 4 center screws from the 3DChameleon… and mount it to the Base Mount plate using the included 35mm screws from the 3DChameleon kit's accessories. Be sure to mount it so that the PTFE tubes are exiting on the top right side of the base mount.
Use two M3 screws (from the accessory bag) to mount the whole plate to the back of the BambuLab printer.
Mount the switch to the Switch Mount using the two M2.5 screws from the accessory bag. Mount the switch mount to the printer using two M3 screw from the accessory bag or using 3M VHB tape for the Stealth Mount. It's important to use VHB and not other tapes due to the strength required.
Either use the stock PTFE tube and cut it so it is only about 1" (2.5cm) above the extruder, or remove the stock PTFE tube and replace it with a small 2" section from the 3DChameleon kit's green Y adapter.
Load 4 filaments into the 3DChameleon until they are about 1.5" before the green Y adapter. The profile will automatically load and unload the filaments when the print starts and ends.
Lastly, open up the BambuStudio project, slice and print. There some older Mk3 profiles and a single Mk4 profile (which will work for all Bambu X1 and P1 based printers.) If you're not using the X1 based machines, you can comment out the calibration tests at the bottom of the start gcode to prevent it from printing the test pattern.

And here's a video of the Stealth Installation on the P1P… sorry for the low quality, I'm redoing it, but this is here until I complete it:
Note: There is a side mount and a stealth mount… you can use both of those to add two 3DChameleons to your X1C or P1S printer (The P1P doesn't have the plastic that the side mount attaches to, however, you can easily adapt it to have it). I've also included a “beta” of the 8 color BambuStudio configuration. The side mount has the switch at 120mm and all the other mounts have the switch at 250 mm on the Y axis.
