Garbage collector support for Sunhockey Prusa 2015 S508

thingiverse

Here's an interesting part that's easy to print, supporting a servo that collects purge garbage. I've never seen this mod before and I encourage you to try it out, especially if you're not near the printer when it starts printing. To do this, you'll need some knowledge of G-Code, how to customize Marlin, and a start script in your slicer. Since there's no standard configuration - each printer and servo is different, you'll have to adapt your code to fit your setup. You might even have to hack into Marlin and add some code using "servo.detach" if your servo has jitter (a common issue). The kinematic sequence works as follows: 1) Home in 2) Auto-level on four points 3) Move to the purge location 4) Servo garbage collector extends out 5) Purge quickly, then slowly 6) Servo garbage collector retracts in 7) Nozzle wipe 8) Print Check the video to understand what I mean. The part I'm proposing is the yellow one on the bottom left - it's easy to place without any screws and designed for a mini servo like the Hitec HS81. Everything fits perfectly on my Prusa S508 Sunhockey 2015.
