3D Print Farm Ejection Tool by Bambu Lab: Automatically Removes Completed Prints with Included Auto Door Opener and Frictionless Surface - Priced at $129
3DQue's AutoFarm3D System Revolutionizes Unattended 3D Printing
In a significant leap for the 3D printing industry, 3DQue Systems has developed the AutoFarm3D system, a groundbreaking solution that automates the 3D printing process. This system, designed for enclosed 3D printers such as Bambu Lab's Core XY models, offers an automatic door opener and an auto ejection mechanism, enabling hands-free, continuous production.
The automatic door opener, a key component of the AutoFarm3D system, is designed specifically for Bambu Lab's P1S, X1C, and X1E models. This hardware attachment clips onto the printer door and moves it aside once a print has finished, a critical feature for enclosed printers that require stable temperatures for engineering-grade materials.
The AutoFarm3D system also includes an auto ejection mechanism that facilitates the release of finished prints. This system works in conjunction with a specially designed bed surface, branded as VAAPR, which reduces friction and allows parts to be ejected smoothly without sticking. This combination of automated door opening and part ejection eliminates the need for manual intervention, allowing the printer to clear completed prints and start new jobs automatically with print queue management.
The AutoFarm3D software, which starts at $9.99 a month for small print farms under 10 machines, detects when a print is complete and triggers opening the printer door automatically. The system supports printing with a wide range of materials, including PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, Nylon, Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, HIPS, and various types of supports.
In the past, YouTubers have added g-code to make the print head push a finished print off the bed. However, the AutoFarm3D system offers a more efficient and seamless solution. For instance, customers have modified the AutoFarm3D system to work with Anycubic, Elegoo, Sovol, and Voxelab machines.
3DQue Systems is not new to the 3D printing industry. In 2021, they introduced Quinly3D for bedslingers, which included a toolhead shield, tilted platform, and slide. The company is also developing hardware and software for hands-free 3D printing in farming.
The AutoFarm3D door opener is available for pre-sale at 3DQue for $129. Installation instructions advise taping the Bambu Lab's magnetically attached fan to the toolhead to prevent it from popping off during the automatic door opening process.
With the AutoFarm3D system, 3D printing farms can now enjoy uninterrupted, automated production, significantly increasing efficiency and productivity.
This uninterrupted, automated production in 3D printing farms, enabled by the AutoFarm3D system, is made possible by technology such as the automatic door opener and auto ejection mechanism. Beyond 3DQue's offerings, these gadgets can potentially be modified to work with various 3D printers from brands like Anycubic, Elegoo, Sovol, and Voxelab.
