Ordered one yesterday. Should hopefully have it sometime next month. I felt the urge.
Are you going to upgrade your filament dryer too?

quick warning to avoid this filament
Needed some blue ABS fairly quick, couldn't find much around... figured CPC post quick and while their stuff is cheap it's normally pretty decent
but that filament is total junk, I only ever print in ABS, happy enough to tweek settings for different filament brands etc..
layers won;t stick together at all no matter what I do
thought I sorted it, set it going on an almost 2 day print... finally finishes and one of the pieces snaps in half as I lift it off the bed, layers won;t stick together no matter what I do :-(
bought 4 rolls, they're going in the bin
struggled to find a brand I know/trust so I've ordered dome ASA to try instead

Seems it's got good reviews, perhaps worth contacting and complaining might be a bad batch?
You can't have much of that white filament left at the rate you're going

Im into my 2nd Spool of the white. And a fair bit more to print for my garage containment.
sod it, I'll set it going again with a different roll in it.... estimated 1 day 18 hour 20 min print... and uses most of a roll
nothing to lose while waiting for the other stuff I ordered to be delivered
New auto ejection tool for Bambu Lab print farms automatically ejects finished 3D prints from the machine — $129 kit includes auto door opener and special bed surface for frictionless part ejection
3DQue introduces a function to pop prints off the bed without human intervention.
Could be a game changer. Seems affordable but not sure how much the farm software is.
But my guess is others might make door kits that don't need farm software.

Seems like a potential recipe for disaster to me.
well it depends how you look at it. I have the commercial rights to print a complete drying unit for up to 5k rolls https://www.kickstarter.com/project...g_auto_backer_project_update_registered_users BUT its a time consuming action to print at the parts needed and if I am away for 2 days it slows me down significantly.
More reading seems to indicate its only cost effective to large farm users and even then I think they are charged per machine.

I've done that manually before on my Prusa i3 Mk3s+ (which doesn't have an enclosure). I knew I wanted to get another print started after the first one had finished, so I peeled away the nozzle wipe and the skirt after the first print had done the first few layers. I then went away for the weekend. When I had the notification (thank you OctoApp) that the print had finished, I connected remotely via OctoPrint and used the manual X, Y & Z controls to move the extruder in such a way that it knocked the print off the bed and onto the floor. I then started the next print, which was finished when I got home.
Rather more manual than what that auto-ejection tool thing is offering, but handy nonetheless.
