The Vertigo Mk1 3D printer is currently on Kickstarter, and what makes it different from other 3D printers is it comes with baked-in auto-eject and bed-clearing features, allowing you to print multiple parts without further human intervention. This project just broke past its funding goal, so now appears to be on solid ground.
The team behind the project, Automated Layers, has priced the device at $2,250 for the Hardware Kit on Kickstarter. The kit requires you to print some of your own parts. If you want all the parts available and ready to assemble, you can get the Vertigo Mk1 Standard Kit for $2,500 if you manage to be among the first five to pledge that amount; its regular price is $2,625. But if you don’t have the time for that and need to hit the ground running with the 3D printer, you can shell out $5,000 for a fully assembled and configured device, and it should work right out of the box.
Its auto-eject feature works by turning the bed 90 degrees towards the ground, and then it pulls it up towards the Dynamic Scrapers. These ensure that your prints are removed at the plastic edge, preventing accidental damage to the base of your print. In case your print gets stuck, the Anti-Crash Force Triggers will stop the ejection process and notify you that the 3D printer needs assistance.

Aside from auto eject, the Vertigo Mk1 also comes with several other attractive features. This includes automatic bed leveling and bed mesh, ensuring a perfect first layer for your print, plus a Rapid Thermal Bed that has four 60mm fans and a silicone heater. This allows you to work quickly, with the bed getting up to a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius in less than two minutes, while it only takes seven minutes to cool it from that temperature to 30 degrees Celsius at an ambient temperature of 22 degrees.
The 3D printer also sports an Active Chamber Heat Soak that keeps it at around 50 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for using ABS and ASA filaments. It achieves this by using the four fans in the thermal bed, allowing hot air to continuously circulate around the chamber and reduce warping. Aside from automation and temperature control, the Vertigo Mk1 uses a Hitchcock Toolhead compatible with multi-color printing and uses a reciprocating filament cutter to prevent your filament from getting stuck.
