Swap Systems Swapmod Kit, A1 Mini

The Swapmod Kit from Swap Systems is the ideal extension for your Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D printer to enable fully automated printing of multiple plates in a row. With Swapmod, projects can be implemented more efficiently by having the printer print multiple plates from the same project, combine different projects or print the same project repeatedly. It is extremely easy to use: drag your gcode.3mf files into the "Swaplist" application, set the print order and start the process.

Swapmod completely automates the printing process: after a plate has been printed, it is ejected and replaced by a new plate loaded from the magazine - until all plates in the print job have been printed or the magazine is empty. This means less manual intervention and greater efficiency.

The Swapmod Kit offers numerous advantages:

• Expanded printing capacity: Complete large projects without constantly reloading and plan your prints more flexibly.
• Efficient material management: Reduce material waste by using only one material per plate.
• Flexible expandability: Start with 2-3 build plates and expand to up to 10 or more as needed
• Reliability: Avoid a failed print affecting neighbouring parts by printing sensitive parts on separate plates.
• Remote control: Replace plates remotely and restart your printer, directly from the slicer software or app.
• Scalability: Optimise workflows and minimise manual intervention to scale your business and automate your production.

The Swapmod is delivered as a DIY kit. It contains the required parts in a compact package - the rest can be printed out yourself using the Bambu Lab A1 mini.

For the remaining components you need about 250-300 g of PLA/PETG. (Duration about 12 hours for 3 plates).
