RE: The MMU2 Purge Bucket Thread (Mod/WIP)

This idea sounds nice. I have also read (and bought today) the BigBrain3D Retractable Purge Mechanism. But it seems not so stable if you do not calibrate it good enough (and also it seems to be fragile).

I will try your idea and the BigBrain3D idea. 

 

About the problem with defining how much to purge depending on the transition in custom G-Code: simply use if statements to check from which to which tool the transition goes and then do your stuff. Sadly you can't use own variables in custom G-Code.

 

But I have another idea which does not require any modifications on the printer (just need to check if it works ^^): on a tool change, go to the back right corner, Z = 1, purge your amount, move to Z 1.5, move to left, a little bit to the front and Z = 0.1. Then just move to X = 255 with speed an knock the little blob from the bed. It is just in my head and I need to check and test it ^^

 

Greetings
