Hey Dill! Thanks so much for this. I think I have it working. It would awesome to have a list of examples of the remove gcode options, like purge line and bed level. I pretty new and I’m unsure what to remove. Thanks for any help 
Wanted to check in and see if there was any progress here? Also - where are you finding accurate models for the printers to base your modifications off of? Are there any available for the X1C or A1 mini? Thanks!
A step forward, although I haven’t been able to get it to work completely, is using OctoPrint with a Raspberry Pi, using this plugin already mentioned here: GitHub - jneilliii/OctoPrint-BambuPrinter
You can connect a Bambulab, then use this other continuous printing plugin:

You can configure queues and eject parts. It’s been a full day, but I haven’t been able to get the print to continue with the next one after it finishes and ejects the part.
The good thing about this is that you can print multiple parts without having to print the same one, which is somewhat more convenient, in my opinion.
Plus, we can see which part is going and we can add jobs in real time without having to remove the SD card from the printer to check it on the computer.
Can anyone try it?

First of all, there are some incredible automation systems posted here. I almost can’t believe the types of setups people are creating.
For those who would like to automate their Bambu Lab printers with only stock parts, for free I have created two detailed YouTube Guides on that:
Automate Your A1 & A1 Mini - Free & Easy
And this one:
Automate Your P1 & X1 - Free & Easy -
I answer quite a few questions that were asked in this thread in these videos. I hope this helps some of you out.
That being said, this can only be done with filament that self releases when the part cools down. Plateswap solutions are a fantastic allround solution.
I hope the community keeps pushing forward in that direction and I am very excited to see what you guys have in store!

Hi itebayo, I find it very interesting, especially to learn how to get the most out of textured PEI sheets without having to change them. I do use fiberglass sheets with my Ender 3S1 and Klipeer, and they work very well, but the PEI finish, in my opinion, is better.
I want to continue trying to do this with OctoPrint and the two plugins:
BambooPrinter to connect the printer and Continuous Print, since it’s a simpler way to send prints, know what you’ve printed, and queue different parts.
But there are some problems with the integration of these plugins that I’d love to see the developers solve.
I currently use error detection with OctoEverywhere with Bambulab, “a Raspberry is required,” but with OctoPrint you can also integrate Obico as a plugin.
I have some progress working with continuous printing using Octoprint and the Continuous Print Queue plugin, with my A1 mini, I have to document it and I will show how to configure it.
It has been difficult for me to configure it to work since I have been expecting errors and through trial and error I have achieved it.
The only requirement is to have a Raspberry Pi.
The truth is that it is fascinating to be able to manage each job in the print queue and to be able to see how many pieces of each model have been printed, without having to open the gcode and copy it as many times as I want to print it.
Without wanting to belittle the great work of itebayo, but this is basically how we were doing it in this thread with the web-based file manager.
thank you very much for your videos and for sharing your expereance! I was thinking that I already know a lot about such tricks, but I learned many new things from your video.
