Yep, just keep printing with the same colour until you run out of filament! You'll have to put the build plates back in the magazine but apart from that you could really print a lot! Kind of wanna do this now actually.
we used our matte PLA for the parts that don't touch the heated bed, they match the A1 Mini colour scheme pretty well. The parts that do touch the bed are printed in our yellow ABS
For vase prints all you really need is for the printer to wait a couple of mins for the plate to cool down, lower the nozzle and slowly drive the bed back and it would knock the vase off, could be done simply within the g code without any need for hardware.
I understand the desire for this automated system. But realistically, if you have an Etsy or store requiring bulk prints, you are also likely in your workshop more often. So that "1minute" swap time, i could have physically taken the plate off, clicked print new plate, in about 10seconds. Having this auto thing, costs what, 5 or so spare plates. So $29AUD per plate extra. And if i was batch printing, i wouldnt have an A1 mini. Id have a bigger printer plate. But obviously i know this is a concept which could easily be transitioned to an A1 standard in due time. The only benefit i do see, is like you said; the overnight printing.
Now multiply that time if you have 5-10 printers. And you don't need 5 build plates. Also if you have a larger operation having this automated versus paying an employee is well worth the money. That is the primary market for this. That and people who have multiple jobs.
two problems with that: 1. if you're not in your shop at the _exact right_ time to clear up a finished print, you're losing machine time 2. you need to let the print bed cool off to remove your prints you do get much less stringent requirements for any human intervention needed with this system. particularly if you can just allow your prints to slide off the bed and into a bin underneath, that way you can easily print a full stack of plates before having to set things up again. but even if that's not an option, you don't have to babysit a print farm this way, you just check in on it every once in a while
I saw this on another video, and it's a pretty cool idea that works and does the job well on both hardware and software! I am just feeling a bit sceptical about the price. I mean, sure, the designer has every right to put his own price, but 70 euros sounds a bit much, especially if some would want to buy more than 1. but i will be getting one definitely
This isn't for hobbyist, sure you could get one, but likely for people generating some form of revenue, and if you can't justify 70 euros for it then it's not a product for you
First! Loved ur vid, pls pin
PINNED!!
cant wait for the A1 version to come out! Game changer!
Backed the Kickstarter, among the first 50 backers, really looking forward to seeing my unit ship and testing it out!
If only I had a need for this.
And if at some point you do, it will exist, for now, it's there for those that do need it
Very excited to get this system and get it running on my farm
Simple, yet ingenious ❤
I’ve already backed him. Talented dude . What filament and colours did you printed yours? Really blended in with the A1 colours.
Mamma mia this is awesome!
Oh, and with ams lite you can daisy chain 4 spools of the same filament right?

I want this for my A1
A thousand percent. I'd back him for an A1 version for sure.
Add the blue plate for a solid bed adhesion and it's perfect and if you could do the A1
I need this.
When can people in the USorder this?
aww man... not for the regular A1?
I mean it's probably in the works....
Im almost certain there is going to be a A1 version.
Dope add on
This looks very handy! I wonder why it's not for A1 as well though? Is there an obvious reason?
Gotta start somewhere. A1 mini perfect place

@@3DJake_Official of course! would you mind sharing the filament mf and its color please for both PLA and ABS . thank you
How much would this retail for?
for about 70-84€ depending where you source it from
Next we're gonna have Gabe in here saying that a core XY printer can just knock it off the build plate and continue SuperVinlin
Wow
It looks like it doesn’t ship to the us how do we get it in America ?
There are legal difficulties shipping to America but they're working on getting a version up by Q2 of next year
@ in the meantime I’d be willing to buy the non printed parts on my own and support the creator another way if possible so I could have this system

Hello, Is this offer in the USA? If not will you offer blueprinted on how can we make our own when we pay?
Però non sparare cavolate, la.modifoca al gcode c'è e eccome, la fanno loro sul loro sito

Do I spy Chibimals?
i really want this on my a1

You think 70 Euros is expensive for a system that automates your 3D printing production? Show me a cheaper system.
This isn't for hobbyist, sure you could get one, but likely for people generating some form of revenue, and if you can't justify 70 euros for it then it's not a product for you
sell it
For the price I'm out. I see now why ppl recommended businesses to just buy another mini. This mod is half the price of a new printer.
