This is another purge chute, but with a twist.

I have my Bambu X1C printer on a wire shelf unit and did not want to have to deal with the purge scraps behind the wire shelving unit. There is not a lot of space behind the printer either to have purge bucket. 

So I decided to design a purge shoot that attaches with magnets to the back of the printer, that then feeds into a return chute to a bin on the shelf below. Then all I have to do is slide out the bin to empty the scraps. It has worked great!

The chute can be used by itself if you simply want to direct the purge waste away from the printer. 

The return chute has a clip that was designed to fit on a wire shelf that was purchased at Costco. (The dimensions of the wire shelf are 6.5mm x 33.5mm) I am sure this connection can be modified to fit your requirements. I have uploaded a test print for the wire shelf clip.

The pictures illustrate the installation.

Require hardware: 4 - 8mm x 3mm magnets
