# The Innocube3D Swapmod A1 clearing method for AutoPrint

# The Innocube3D Swapmod A1 clearing method for AutoPrint

The Innocube3D Swapmod A1 is a fully mechanical plate-swap mod for the Bambu Lab A1. It ejects the finished plate and loads a fresh one between prints, with no firmware or wiring changes, so SimplyPrint can keep the queue running unattended. This guide covers what it does, how to select it as your AutoPrint clearing method, and the plate-limit setting it needs.

|| The Innocube3D Swapmod A1 runs as a clearing method inside [AutoPrint](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/autoprint-put-your-printers-on-autopilot-1hssb9u/), which is part of the Pro plan and up.

## What the Innocube3D Swapmod A1 is
The Innocube3D Swapmod A1, made by Innocube3D, automates plate ejection and loading on the Bambu Lab A1 for continuous, multi-plate printing. According to Innocube3D it is a fully mechanical approach that does not require firmware flashing or wiring changes, and is designed specifically for the A1. With AutoPrint driving the queue, it lets the A1 run through a stack of plates on its own.

## Selecting Innocube3D Swapmod A1 on a printer
You set a clearing method per printer, from the AutoPrint settings.

1. Open the printer's **control panel** and find the **AutoPrint** widget.
2. Open the AutoPrint settings and find the **Clearing method** section.
3. Click the method selector and choose **Innocube3D Swapmod A1**.
4. Set a **Max AutoPrint cycles** value to match your plate stack (see below), then **save**.
5. Flip the **AutoPrint** switch on for the printer.

| You can view the Innocube3D Swapmod clearing gcode under the gcode editor and adjust it if your setup needs it.

## Set a max cycle count
The Swapmod works through a finite stack of plates, so SimplyPrint asks you to set a **Max AutoPrint cycles** value. This is how many prints (plate swaps) the printer runs before it stops and waits for you to reload plates. Set it to the number of plates your stack actually holds.

## What SimplyPrint does each cycle
With Innocube3D Swapmod A1 selected, each AutoPrint cycle runs like this:

1. The print finishes and SimplyPrint detects the completed state.
2. The bed cools to the temperature (or for the time) you set, so the part releases from the plate.
3. SimplyPrint runs the Innocube3D Swapmod clearing sequence, ejecting the finished plate and loading a fresh one.
4. SimplyPrint verifies the bed is clear. With a camera connected, **AI bed check** can confirm visually before continuing.
5. SimplyPrint matches the next queue item and starts it, until the max-cycle count is reached.

For how matching, scheduling and verification work in detail, see the [AutoPrint overview](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/autoprint-put-your-printers-on-autopilot-1hssb9u/).
