Maybe I'm the exception here, but I slice my files and then load them to an SD card and walk them over to my printer. It's not high tech, but since you can't clear the build plate without physically being there, I don't see much of a change. If I really wanted to monitor the build I suppose I could just point a webcam at it rather than use the existing one. But since it prints flawlessly most of the time it seems unnecessary.

BambuLabs printers may not support this but some people do it. The idea is to use the print head to knock the part out of the bed and into a bin. Probably not worth the hassle for personal use and you may need to design the part a certain way to make it possible, but it is useful for mass production.
