Summary

I created a Side Purge Bucket for the 'BigBrain3D Retractable Purge Mechanism'.
I call it 'Blobs Box'.

Update:
V2.0 is now covering the hole between the Z motor and the printer frame with a slide for the blobs.
The BlobsBox is a press fit and should slide into the gap.

Here you can finde the BigBrain3D Page:

To run the Side Purge on the Prusa i3 MK3s I use PrusaSlicer and P2PP.
If you want to set it up please follow the instructions on the P2PP github page.

When you only print two colors it is better to print it on a printer with Tool Change method. This saves a lot of material.</p></div>
