Eject, reload, print again - no hands needed
AutoSwap is a physical plate-swapper that lifts the finished plate out and drops a fresh blank one in from a stack. Set a max plate count in SimplyPrint and AutoPrint will run that many jobs back to back, then stop cleanly when the stack runs out.
What is AutoSwap?
AutoSwap is an automatic plate changer (a bed-clearing add-on) for desktop 3D printers, with editions for the Bambu Lab A1 and the Anycubic Kobra 3. When a print finishes, AutoSwap ejects the whole build plate and loads a fresh blank plate from a finite stack, so the printer can keep going completely unattended for as many plates as you have loaded.
In SimplyPrint this is a cycle-dependent clearing method: because the plate supply is finite, you set a maximum plate (cycle) count. AutoPrint counts each completed swap and stops the printer cleanly once the stack is exhausted, so you never end up printing onto an empty carriage. Pair it with the print queue and AutoPrint handles the start, the swap, and the next job for you.
