During MultiColor 3D printing the default way of purging the old color during transition between colors is to use a purge block. The main problems with purge blocks are that they must be printed on every layer even if there are no color changes, and they take up space on the print bed, and the final blocks are too large to be directly extruded into filament again. Our solution fixes all these problems.
We’ve designed a new retractable purge mechanism. It mounts to the side of your 3D printer and works with any slicer (i.e. PrusaSlicer, Mosaic Canvas, Slic3r (PE), Simplify3D, SimplyColor3D, Cura) to reduce waste and decrease purge time. With our retractable purge mechanism, material is only purged when a color change happens which mean fewer purges and faster prints. The retractable arm means zero reduction of the build area and turns color transition purge into little blobs. The blobs can be extruded, like with the Filabot of Kickstarter fame, which means literally ZERO WASTE!
