What is it and how does it work?
JobOx A1 is an automation add-on designed for BambuLab A1 printer, which gives it a capability of serial print. After the print is finished the plate becomes automatically unloaded and replaced by the new one from the magazine, located behind the printer. In this way you can print multiple print jobs automatically one after another or reprint the same job multiple times. All this happens automatically. The system is compatible with AMS and you can still use your favorite slicer.
How many plates can the magazine hold?
It is recommended to use up to 8 plates in the magazine. You can use more, but in this case we would recommend to keep an eye on the stack because misalignment can occur when the high plate stack bounces during the loading procedure.
However, it's usually not necessary to have a large number of plates to operate a plate-changing system, even when printing large series. Unloaded plates can be cleared and returned to the magazine during the printing process.
What can I expect purchasing this?
This accessory is a digital good. By purchasing this item you will receive access to print-files needed to build this addon. Licensing details can be found here.
The entire system works passively, which means no extra motors or other electronic parts are needed! All plastic parts needed for this add-on can be printed with PLA and PETG using your A1 printer. The only non printable parts you will need are following:
-
🧲 D10 x 3 mm Round magnets - x12 pcs.
-
🔩 M3 x 10 mm Socket head screws - x5 pcs. (+6 pcs. for each plate)
Both components are standard parts and can be ordered in BambuLab's Maker's Supply store (matching magnets and screws) or easily sourced from your local supplier.
Is it difficult to build and set up?
No, it is actually a fun and easy to build project. Printing files will come with a detailed and well illustrated guidance which will help you to assemble the system within minutes. Before starting your first automated print-job you will run a short self-test to get sure that all components are assembled correctly and automation functionality works as expected.
Do I need extra software?
To operate with JobOx A1, you will continue to use your usual slicer (BambuStudio and OrcaSlicer) with the difference that you will need to perform a short conversion of the sliced file using our web app before sending it to your printer. During conversion you can change the order in which plates are printed, the number of repeats and combine multiple files into a single queue.
This app runs as a website in any browser such as Firefox, Chrome or Safari and is available for online and offline use. There is no installation or subscription required. The conversion happens locally, so none of your data is leaving your computer. The application only acts as a converter, so it doesn’t need to run during printing.
How can I get technical support?
We would like to emphasize that we do not provide personal technical support. However you will have a possibility to join our Discord server and ask the community. There will also be a troubleshooting guide on our website to help you find a solution.
How safe is usage of such an accessory?
This automation add-on has been tested on thousands of plate changes on multiple machines to find and rework all possible sources of error. The current version works optimally but is not 100% perfect. There is still a certain risk of failure during loading and unloading, or due to side effects related to the use of the system. Mostly, this ends in the printer stopping due to an automated collision detection, and doesn’t cause any damage. However, it could theoretically result in damage to certain parts of your printer (most likely repairable) or your build plates (which is consumable and can be replaced). You should always be aware of this fact. Especially at the beginning you should keep an eye on your printer while using this add-on.
While using this automation add-on a plate detection of your printer will possibly not work reliably! Please make sure to load enough plates into the magazine or refill it during its operation.
Does usage of such an accessory affect my printer's warranty and certification?
Your printer warranty may be void if the printer is damaged by using this add-on. The Bambulab A1 manual states that nothing should be placed in front of or behind the printer. By using this add-on, you would act against this requirement and you would do it on your own responsibility. Also the continuation of the certification of such modified printers cannot be guaranteed either. Please be aware of this fact and your responsibility.
