It's a remix from my original design (https://www.prusaprinters.org/fr/prints/16909-prusa-mk3s-mmu2s-purge-bucket)

I redesigned the holder to match with my new X axis (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3670659)

Now, this purge bucket can be installed on all X axis versions (stock, Bear, ...)

Z-axis top right should be replace for that. STL is available (directly remixed from Prusa website).

To print correctly (PETG 0.2mm 20% grid), please print these parts according to the last picture. Don't print the Holder lying flat.

Holder : supports everywhere
Spacer: supports from build plate only
Trigger: no supports
Bucket: supports from build plate only

Materials needed:

  • 1 screw M3x20 for trigger, but you can use the trigger without screw with stock extruder (not tested on others)
  • 1 screw M3x4
  • 1 rubber band or a spring 20.6x5.1. I advise you the spring.

    Please follow this instruction list: (also available in Files with pictures, here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4704964)

HARDWARE PART :

  1. Add screw on the trigger (according to the trigger used)
  2. Add rubber band (or spring) between holder and spacer
  3. Add screw on the spacer to hold the bucket (need adjustment after the installation)
  4. Remove Z-axis top right
  5. Remove rod 8mm
  6. Install holder with spacer and trigger
  7. Put the rod 8mm (be careful with bearing)
  8. Replace Z-axis top right by the new part
  9. Check rotation if it's free. It's NOK, check that all supports on holder are removed. (I know, it's not easy...)
  10. Adjust position of the bucket and the screw on the trigger
  11. Perform a Calibration Z.

    It's finished for the Hardware part!

SOFTWARE PART:


In PrusaSlicer,

  1. Go to "Print Settings" and uncheck "Wipe tower"
  2. Go to "Printer Settings" and copy/paste this script in the tool change section:

; toolchange from [current_extruder] to [next_extruder], layer [layer_num]
{if current_extruder != next_extruder}
;before tool change
M106 S0 ;turn off fan
G92 E0 ;turn off retraction

G1 X200 F12000 ;bucket go back home

{endif}

This G-code is a mix from G-code from JiVo and G-code from BigBrain3d.

It's finished for the Software part and this installation !

Slice and test !
