I fail to see the useful benefit of this in a home printing environment TBH. It’s a cool gimmick, and I remember seeing it long ago in the voron discord when they first developed it on a v2.4, but I don’t really see what use it has for hobbyist printing.
Does anyone need consecutive unmonitored batch printing of several plates full at home? It seems much more like something you’d want in a production/print farm environment where it can streamline mass production.
It’s a crazy design. In the past I’ve seen others use a treadmill style bed which seems a lot less complex and accomplishes the same thing, but I’m curious to see how this works out. I’ve also seen people use the extruder to intentionally knock parts off, but this will probably cause issues longterm.
I agree it’s not really practical for “home use” especially with a $2500 price tag.
Neat.
Curious to see if the reliability of ejection (and adhesion) really will end up being worth the added mechanical complexity.
remember, most prints take hours, and taking them off plates takes… a few seconds to minutes.
