Product Details

LDO OTTOeject MK1 Print Automation System

The OTTOeject MK1 cuts downtime between jobs and keeps your printer working when you're not around. Run it alongside a single machine, or scale up to a farm that keeps printing unattended. An open-source system designed by OTTOMAT3D and manufactured by LDO.

Continuous Printing

Automated ejection, plate storage, and bed loading for continous printing

A finished print isn't the end of the work. Someone still has to walk over, pop off the part, and reset the machine before the next job can start. Until that happens, the printer just sits there idle, and that downtime adds up fast. The OTTOeject solves that problem, so the moment one print comes off, the next one begins.

The core of the system

Automatically Eject, Store, and Load

When a job finishes, the OTTOeject lifts the plate with the print still on it, sets it aside in storage, and replaces it with a clean bed. The printer starts the next job on its own with no one around.

That single loop is what turns one printer into an overnight production run. Stack up your jobs and the system works through them plate by plate, holding each finished print safely until you come back to it.

Built for Your Bench

Pairs With Most FDM Printers

Tested with Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Flashforge, and Elegoo machines

The OTTOeject works alongside your existing printer rather than replacing it. It has been tested across a wide range of desktop FDM machines, and the supported list keeps growing. On enclosed printers, it can even open and close the door as part of each cycle, so automation isn't limited to open-frame designs.

OTTOeject DIY kitset components laid out for assembly

DIY Kitset Build

No skills needed beyond setting up a printer

The OTTOeject ships as a self-assembly kit. If you've set up a 3D printer before, you already have what you need to put it together and configure it. Once it's dialed in, it needs minimal upkeep to continue running.

Modular by Design

Change the layout and storage to fit your space

Placement, overall size, and how many plates the system holds can all be adjusted to your needs. Keep it compact against a single printer, or expand the storage for longer, unattended sessions that don't need a break.

OTTOengine software managing a print queue across multiple printers

Queue Management

The app handles both printers and print jobs

OTTOengine is the software behind the system. It manages your print queue, watches jobs as they run, coordinates one or more printers and OTTOeject units from a single place. It's able to communicate with both the hardware and your printers, so a whole row of machines stays coordinated instead of needing individual attention.
