3D-Printomat auto-ejection for the Bambu A1

Two A1 printers, a stack of plates, zero babysitting

The 3D-Printomat is a physical auto-ejection and plate system for the Bambu Lab A1 series. SimplyPrint AutoPrint treats it as a cycle-dependent clearing method: set a max plate count, queue your jobs, and the printer pushes each finished print off, loads a fresh bed, and starts the next print on its own until the stack runs out.

What is the 3D-Printomat?

The 3D-Printomat is an automatic ejection and plate-swap system for the Bambu Lab A1 series. When a print finishes, it pushes the whole job off the build surface and loads a fresh blank plate from a finite stack, so the printer can keep producing parts without anyone standing by.

In SimplyPrint this is a cycle-dependent clearing method for AutoPrint. Because the supply of fresh plates is limited, you tell us the maximum number of plates in the stack, and AutoPrint stops cleanly once that many cycles are done instead of trying to print onto a plate that is no longer there.

How it works in SimplyPrint

Once the 3D-Printomat is installed on your A1 or A1 Mini, turning it into a hands-off station takes three steps in your account.

1. Connect and enable AutoPrint

Connect your Bambu Lab A1 or A1 Mini to SimplyPrint as usual, then enable AutoPrint on the printer. AutoPrint is what auto-starts queued jobs and clears the bed between them.

2. Pick 3D-Printomat and set max cycles

Choose 3D-Printomat as the clearing method, then set the maximum plate count to match how many fresh plates you loaded into the stack. AutoPrint counts each ejection and stops when it reaches the limit.

3. Queue jobs and walk away

Add jobs to the print queue. AutoPrint starts the first print, ejects it and loads a fresh plate when it finishes, then starts the next - repeating until the queue or the plate stack runs out.

Which printers does it work with?

The 3D-Printomat is built for the Bambu Lab A1 series.

Bambu Lab A1

Fit the 3D-Printomat to a full-size A1, connect it to SimplyPrint, enable AutoPrint, and pick 3D-Printomat as the clearing method.

Bambu Lab A1 Mini

The same system works on the smaller A1 Mini, so a mixed A1 and A1 Mini fleet can all run hands-off through AutoPrint.

Frequently asked questions

Which printers does the 3D-Printomat support?

The 3D-Printomat is built for the Bambu Lab A1 series - both the full-size A1 and the A1 Mini. The same system covers both, so a mixed A1 fleet can run hands-off.

How many prints can it run unattended?

As many as there are fresh plates in the stack. The 3D-Printomat loads one new plate per cycle, so the unattended run length equals the number of plates you load. In SimplyPrint you set this as the max plate count, and AutoPrint stops once that many cycles are done.

Do I need to buy anything?

Yes - the 3D-Printomat is a physical system sold by 3D-Printomat. SimplyPrint then drives it through AutoPrint, which is included on Pro and above.

How is this different from manually clearing the bed?

Instead of you popping the finished part off and starting the next job, the 3D-Printomat pushes the whole print off the bed and loads a fresh plate automatically. AutoPrint then starts the next queued print, so the A1 keeps running while you are away.

Does it work with the SimplyPrint print queue?

Yes. AutoPrint pulls jobs straight from the print queue, starts them, ejects and reloads the plate when each finishes, and moves on to the next - up to your max plate count or until the queue is empty.
