Update - A version 3 has been uploaded that is a little more reliable in my testing. It's also designed for Rear Purging in 1.9.4. Waste Ramp V3
The Flashforge Creator 5 has been an amazing upgrade for me but the lack of a purge bin was getting old. I found other variations of purge bins online but they didn't quite do the trick for me as the purge waste would frequently stack up and eventually reach the nozzle.
It was time to finally design one of my own. I used the same magnetic attachment method several others have used but made a stronger version that has a ramp and doesn't require supports. The smaller footprint also allows more airflow on the top vent (where I assume a fan goes on the Pro model).
Print settings that I used: 2 walls, 5% rectilinear infill, 0.4mm nozzle
This print takes roughly 50 minutes to complete on the Creator 5 with default settings and needs 6x3 mm magnets.
Important: Use a foil of some sort to prevent sticking or make one with PETG for PLA prints and vice versa. Foil tape works well.
