Cool for some printers i bet. But with twchnology included with my printer i am able to start stop modify and moniter from my phone. Maybe the arm can lift print off the bed and start the next one?

that would be the best project to work on to remove print from print bed so you can begin the next print from your phone etc.

Sounds like a noble pursuit!

Perhaps the way cost could be kept lower is by reverse engineering what the intended outcome would be.

If the desired end goal is a way to safely, remotely and automatically clear the build plate perhaps a type of conveyor belt type contraption might work. You could have a type of scraper with a very thin point (think sizing gauges) that removes the print from the surface and it is then pulled forward by ‘arms’ onto the conveyor belt and shipped into a container or waiting bay.

It’s maybe a little outside the field of a robotic arm but there’s a potential it could work to the same effect which could remove a lot of restrictions to the price point obviously encountered when trying to engineer and program a robotic arm which would have many different variables.

Not sure if this helps!
