Check out this Auto Change plate…

While looking at the 86duino video @Mike_Miller posted the other day, I saw another vid in the channel that shows an auto change plate. Very cool. I didn’t see anything elsewhere on this though.

Violates a Makerbot patent. That’s why you don’t see stuff like this more often.

How about giving us the other link then?

@NathanielStenzel , here’s the other vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ_rsnrmDwQ

@Nathan_Walkner It’s an absurdly broad patent, any mechanism to move the build surface into / out of the print volume (like a conveyor or CNC pallet changer) infringes. You can see in the video here that the print surface is being moved through the build volume. WOULD be nice to get more details though. Looks like of like a vacuum platen holding down a sheet of non-adhesive kapton.
