I'm VERY new to 3d printing and this is a VERY basic model.


Most of you could do much better with your eyes closed, but I've taken a few builds from here, so I thought I'd add one in return.

This press fits (although you can use some double sided tape to affix if you like) onto the purge wiper to stop the waste being flung across the room, and directs it down into a tub below (not supplied, I use a tuppaware tub)

I printed mine through a 0.4 nozzle in PLA Basic with mostly default settings that come with the 0.20 Standard @BBL A1
I've set the sizes to 0.8mm where possible for thicknesses, bit I think the back plate is 1mm.

It doesn't require supports.

My settings slice it to a 27 minute print. I'm sure that could be reduced.

Created with Fusion 360, and printed on the BambuLabs A1 Printer using their slicing software.

If you'd like any dimentions so you can make your own, see below:

Initial push fit part is 35mm x 15mm with 15mm radius and .8 offset shell. 35x15 is the internal dimention.
Splash plate is 33mm wide x30mm height with a 3mm rise in height from part 1. (I found this catches 99.9% of the waste)
Sides are 0.8mm extruded to 30mm and then filleted 5mm in the corners.

Again, this is sub-junior level design. You should really just use this picture as insperation to make your own, better version.
