This handy setup will save you from trouble when waiting for the heat-bed or nozzle to reach temperature before printing, and you forget to be there when the filament is purged out. At least it has done that for me! You can print just the Filament Collector if you don't have a plexiglass door closing your printer, in which case you won't need the magnet inside. <b>The minimum thickness of the plexiglass required is 3mm</b> <b>Advantages:</b> - A small 4x4x3 mm neodymium magnet keeps the door closed with sufficient force but not too much. This setup will never give you problems or difficulty opening it easily when you want. - The collector below the nozzle cuts away the filament thread exactly when the print head moves away for starting a print (obviously, if you've placed it in the right spot). - Use the same holes to fix the hinges on the Ultimaker's right side. - Simply pull the handle to open the door. <b>Disadvantages:</b> - If your nozzle drips some filament thread longer than the distance between the hot-end and the print bed before the initial "nozzle purge", this already cold filament can interfere with the efficiency of the collector. <b> Resources: </b> - 35cm of filament - Q.ty 6 Hexagonal nuts M3 - Q.ty 3 Cylindrical head screw M3x20mm - Q.ty 6 Countersunk screw M3x10mm - Neodymium Magnet 4x4x3 mm - Plexiglass (they can cut it for you) - Plexiglass (cut it yourself) Why two holes? Well, the Filament Collector has two holes because when I use Simplify 3D for slicing objects, the hole on the right fits better to my GCODE.
