Description

Another filament waste bucket for the X and P series.

 

Why another one? The back of my printer is placed right on the edge of the table. While there are some designs to help with this setup, I don't want to use screws/tapes/velcro strips/magnets.

 

I am reusing some of the slots/holes at the bottom of the printer. The base is inserted at the right slots at the bottom of the printer (see the photos). It's tight and sturdy enough that it won't be moving around and can easily hold the bucket above. The bucket can be removed easily to dump the filament waste and then put it back.

 

Note:

  1. I've only tested it on my P1S printer. I am not sure if the slots/holes pattern at the bottom is the same as the other X and P series of printers. I would love to hear feedback from the other users.
  2. During my prototyping, I used -0.1 mm for the X-Y Contour Compensation for the bucket and it worked perfectly. But for my final print with the same settings, the fitting is a little too tight. As a result, I have increased the X-Y Contour Compensation for the bucket to -0.2 mm instead (i.e. the current print profile). I haven't reprinted with this new setting to confirm, but I am fairly positive it should work out.

I hope some users will find this useful. If you like this design but it didn't work with your X1C or P1P printer, please feel free to message me. I would try to tweak the base or create a new one that works with your printer.

 

Your feedback after printing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
