Description

I explored many of the other designs out there and generally wasn't satisfied with what I found for my application. I wanted something that brought the filament purge waste closer to the front of the printer, while minimizing the side footprint requirement.

 

The main issues I encountered with others were:

  • The print required supports
  • Too wide of a footprint
  • Did not encourage filament to flow far enough forward
  • Interior geometry followed the contour of the exterior, leading to buildups
  • The front edge is too tall making it difficult to remove poops

I resolved these concerns with this design. This purge chute bin features:

  • Flowing interior geometry like a river rafting adventure ride to encourage the filament waste (poops) to slide as far forward as possible
  • Front edge is lowered for easier access
  • Side footprint is minimized
  • Magnetic mounts
  • Prints with zero supports

Materials:

Installation:

The magnets are interference press fit. I like to use non-marring soft jaw pliers to press the magnets in, you can also use standard groovelock V-jaw pliers with a thick cloth or plastic blocks in between. Due to printing variances, you may want to use glue to hold the magnets in place.
