Its proprietary auto-ejection system tips the build plate 90°, cools the surface, scrapes finished parts into a collection bin, and starts the next print — automatically, without human intervention. Queue hundreds of hours of prints and let it run. West3D is the official launch partner alongside LDO Systems for this machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/0692\/5480\/files\/VertigoPic1.jpg?v=1764290986\" alt=\"Vertigo MK1 auto-ejecting CoreXY 3D printer for continuous production\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAuto-Ejection System — The Core Innovation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery other printer requires a human to remove the finished part before the next job can begin.

Berserker linear rails provide smooth, precise linear motion. Genuine Gates belts maintain tension and dimensional accuracy over extended run times.

Warm air circulating from the 400W build plate maintains internal chamber temperatures up to 50°C — the thermal environment that engineering-grade filaments like ABS, ASA, and Nylon require to print without warping or layer separation. The same system that ejects parts also creates the chamber conditions for demanding materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHitchcock Toolhead — Filament Cutter + Multi-Color Ready\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertigo MK1 ships with the Hitchcock Toolhead, which includes a reciprocating filament cutter that prevents jams during automated multi-print sequences. The toolhead is compatible with multi-color printing setups — AMS, MMU, or similar systems — making it viable for complex multi-material production runs, not just single-color batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKlipper Firmware — Full Control, Open Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertigo MK1 runs Klipper with a Mainsail interface, accessible from any device on your network. All the Klipper ecosystem tools — Input Shaping, Pressure Advance, custom macros, remote monitoring — are available out of the box. The auto-ejection automation sequence is controlled through Klipper macros, meaning it can be tuned and customized for different part geometries, materials, and ejection timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild Volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 × 220 × 220 mm (XYZ)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotion System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoreXY — Berserker linear rails, Gates belts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteppers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLDO SUPER POWER high-temperature motors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Bed Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120°C — 400W heated bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChamber Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActive heating up to 50°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90° tilting bed + dual-action nylon scraper ejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToolhead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHitchcock — reciprocating filament cutter, multi-color compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirmware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKlipper + Mainsail — open source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-Leveling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic bed leveling + mesh compensation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpool Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard + 5kg spools | AMS \/ MMU compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included — STLs available on GitHub\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Source\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/AutomatedLayers\/VertigoMk1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAutomated Layers GitHub\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vertigo MK1 is built for three use cases where conventional printers create operational bottlenecks. Print farms where labor cost per part is the primary constraint — the MK1 lets one operator manage a fleet instead of babysitting individual machines. Small batch manufacturing where consistent overnight or weekend-long runs are required without supervision. And power users who run large personal queues and want to stop manually resetting prints between jobs. If you're printing at volume and human intervention is your bottleneck, the Vertigo MK1 is the machine designed to solve that specific problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.kickstarter.com\/assets\/047\/547\/014\/1106d8c4dd4e0ed342a45dceb4826875_original.png?fit=scale-down\u0026amp;origin=ugc\u0026amp;q=100\u0026amp;v=1733914735\u0026amp;width=680\" alt=\"Vertigo MK1 full printer overview with collection bin\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.kickstarter.com\/assets\/047\/545\/486\/93a3649c54c1ac41d487f6b4226436a7_original.gif?fit=scale-down\u0026amp;origin=ugc\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;v=1733901980\u0026amp;width=680\" alt=\"Vertigo MK1 complete auto-ejection cycle animation\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.kickstarter.com\/assets\/047\/547\/043\/60dd7dfe56f27a0a192350257cebae71_original.png?fit=scale-down\u0026amp;origin=ugc\u0026amp;q=100\u0026amp;v=1733914885\u0026amp;width=680\" alt=\"Vertigo MK1 internal components Berserker rails Gates belts LDO motors\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/i.kickstarter.com\/assets\/047\/545\/710\/9e37421b36a6502d51412b83b0179704_original.gif?fit=scale-down\u0026amp;origin=ugc\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;v=1733904548\u0026amp;width=680\" alt=\"Vertigo MK1 scraper bar ejection sequence parts into collection bin\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e→ Browse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/professional-3d-printers\"\u003eProfessional 3D Printers\u003c\/a\u003e or explore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fdm-3d-printers\"\u003eFDM 3D Printers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West3D 3D Printing Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52735661932838,"sku":"LDO3879","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/1986\/2822\/files\/vertigo-mk1-high-performance-continuous-3d-printer-by-automated-layers-west3d-3d-printing-supplies-ldo-systems-7532455.jpg?v=1773259428","url":"https:\/\/supplies3d.shop\/products\/vertigo-mk1-high-performance-continuous-3d-printer-by-automated-layers","provider":"SUPPLIES3D","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
