Geeetech A10T Purge Bucket Parts

thingiverse

These three parts will help you configure the Geeetech A10T for use with the Purge buck system of nozzle preparation for multi-color printing. Don't ask me about software settings as I'm still configuring at this point myself. Based on an item posted by Samuel Brown on the Geeetech Facebook site, these parts are designed to work seamlessly with the A10T's dimensions. To print the Purge/Wipe bucket, lay it flat with the two holes facing down on the bed. I'll be reprinting in ABS as I think it will last longer than PLA. The Purge/Wipe bucket part has been tailored in length and width for optimal performance on the A10T, while the X Axis cover box with switch mount has been altered in size from the original CR10S part to ensure smooth movement. The switch mounting holes have been repositioned so that the X axis can move far enough to allow the nozzle to pass the edge of the bed and cross the wipe material mount. Aluminum duct tape is a convenient way to guide waste off to the side, although it's just for illustration purposes; I've designed and posted a small chute that works exceptionally well. I'm still waiting for silicone to arrive from eBay. These parts are based on two files found on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835282 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3372835. I've created a simple chute to catch filament from the purge, covering mine with sticky foil allows molten drops to simply run off. On January 31, 2020, I added another version of the chute, which should be glued to the wipe bracket so that it rises along with the Z axis, increasing the chances of the purge going into the container.
