Built by 3D Farmers, maintained by SimplyPrint - the official AutoPrint method for Bambu Lab
FarmLoop is the official, SimplyPrint-maintained AutoPrint clearing method, and one of the most popular on the platform. It is a bed-clearing mod for Bambu Lab A, P, X and H series printers that pushes the finished print off the plate so the printer never sits idle. It is currently in public beta and free to use during the beta. Pair it with the print queue and smart matching and the right job lands on the right printer, hands-off.
What is FarmLoop?
FarmLoop is a bed-clearing mod for Bambu Lab printers, built by 3D Farmers and maintained as an official AutoPrint clearing method inside SimplyPrint. When a job finishes, SimplyPrint runs dedicated on-end gcode and then the FarmLoop clear cycle: the finished print is pushed off the plate, clearing the bed so the next queued job can start immediately.
Because SimplyPrint orchestrates the whole sequence, FarmLoop is not just a one-off macro - it runs every cycle, on every printer you've enabled it on, as part of your normal print queue. It supports multi-stage configurations (a stage 1 / stage 2 clear) for setups that need more than a single sweep to fully clear the plate.

What it does for a farm's capacity
In our 2026 SimplyPrint print-farm feedback survey of 22 operators, automation - AutoPrint together with bed-clearing and plate mods - was the clearest win for capacity: respondents reported output up 20-50%, with several doubling their throughput and one quadrupling it. Letting the bed clear itself is what turns overnight and weekend hours into print time.
How FarmLoop works in SimplyPrint
Three steps to a Bambu farm that clears its own beds and keeps printing.

Matching rules pick the right job for each printer, so the right file always lands on the right Bambu.
How the clear cycle works
When a print finishes, SimplyPrint runs the FarmLoop on-end gcode and the finished part is pushed off the plate. The moment the bed is clear, the next job from your queue begins - no one needs to be at the printer. Setups that need more than one sweep can run a stage 1 / stage 2 clear, and SimplyPrint runs the stages in order before releasing the next job.
Works with these Bambu Lab printers
FarmLoop supports a wide range of Bambu Lab printers. It works with the A1 and A1 mini, the P1P, P1S and P2S, the X1C, and the newer H2D and H2S. Run a mixed Bambu fleet and SimplyPrint manages the FarmLoop cycle on each one independently, so you can put your whole farm on autopilot.
