A1 Purge Waste Bin and Deflector

Update

I have now added Z-axis stiffener version that will work with the AMS lite Top Mount Z-axis stiffener bracket.

Introduction

I really liked the A1 Poop / Purge Management System (PMS) from thrutheframe - , but I wanted a cleaner look, a slightly smaller bin, and for it to line up with the top of the z-axis moulding. I also found that over time the poop deflector became a little loose.

This consists of a purge bin, an optional protector for the base of the purge bin and a purge deflector that clips on to the purge wiper. The deflector locks in place by means of a small nub on the rear of the mounting, the addition of a strengthening bar in the middle should prevent the mounting from deforming over time. Occasionally a hot sticky purge, particularly TPU, would stick to the base of the bin and it's removal would cause a little damage, so I added the optional base protector, which I printed in PETG. This aids in removal and is also easily replaced if it becomes damaged.

Instructions

• Print plates 1 & 3, optionally print plate 2
• It is recommended to place a piece of tape (ideally kapton) onto the purge deflector as shown below. This reduces the chances of purge waste sticking to the wall of the deflector
• Clip the deflector on to the purge wiper, there is a small nub on the deflector, at the back, that should lock it in place

• Optionally place the base protector in the bin
• Finally place the bin in place around the z-axis and enjoy a lovely clean workspace.
