Inspired by this video from the 3d printing professor a few months ago, https://youtu.be/AsokgzDYBBY?si=zLJKxqVY-BaAQAoV I am embarking on a Proof of concept to see if I can completely eliminate wasted purge from my multi colour prints. Possibly built on top of potential purge length reductions s…

Created a circular leg option for the Purge Table - with threads to hold the parts together. Also created a rounded edge version of table top to go with it. [0CF5550B-DA99-4C1D-8279-71E3CF32EAB5] [18131A6F-6542-4AE4-AC26-3EFD5ABF7D3F] [D2A255B1-3BF7-4280-80C9-218774B5581C]

Good progress made today - firstly - in order to help manual AMS cut and swaps a bit easier made a nice little add on - to park filament when not needed. Will upgrade all AMS’s with this as I will also be a useful way to store the more brittle filament to stop it snapping overnight (or when away f…

Had a little diversion while waiting for parts of ‘waste melting’ testing - printed out the BL marble run which is brilliant, plus now doing the Tourbillon. Also made a start on a print queue management app (which ideally I think could be an addon to the slicer) - would really like a better way th…

Made some further progress on queue manager. Managed to analyse BS logs - and determine a way to track print starts automatically and link them back to the file and plate in the queuing system. Can’t automatically determine successfully printed plates - but will try and do something with downloade…

Queuing system working really well so far - much easier to do big prints like this when you can quickly see the print times of each of the plates, the colours and which ones you have already done etc. it picks up the log records of in progress prints pretty reliably. Also picking up of Timelapses …

Made some progress on melting waste into sheets too using the Teaching Tech method - although managed to break a blender in the process. [C0D45118-9CBD-4519-BB7C-11C87DB03C35] [0DD5F9AC-2631-486C-ABA7-0A163C78CAD1_1_105_c] [AB411DB3-13E5-420D-833A-6B8A626AC6A6_1_105_c] [C761184D-C785-429E-A367…

Cut down sheets into nice regular rectangles using track saw, think they will work quite well of components of purge table or other objects - such as boxes or shelves. Or maybe just framed as modern art. Created some new purge-brick shapes to allow the sheets to be added in. [3B6A6937-E08F-43BA…

Print queue app coming along very nicely. It can now reliably control Bambu Studio to open the correct file and position it at the plate being worked on. Also added in ‘find Flush’ functionality and tracking of the flush objects selected for each multi colour plate. The application holds a queue …

This thread needs its own YouTube channel and Wiki :laughing: Great ingenuity

Harvested a lot of Purge-table flush-into parts from the 4 or 5 failed attempts at getting the tiny little azipod (ships motor and propellor) parts pictured at the bottom right. [73871072-3C93-43DC-BB15-4577424F3140]

Is there a way that we can recycle or reuse 3D Printing waste?
