Poo shooter for Creator 5. It helps create proper poo stacks instead of spaghetti strings.
Hardware you need:
20mm x 2mm magnets qty: 3
Short rubber bands x3
M3 x 10mm bolts qty: 2
Aluminium self adhesive tape.
Plate one. Pause print at layer 16 to drop three 20mm by 2mm magnets. Remember to reverse polarity to increase magnetic force.
Plate two. Arm with poo shelf. Add tape over shelf to help releasing. I also sprayed it with PTFE/Silicone spray. I also added tape over the wall of part 1.
Plate three. It has cleaners for print head. They help keep printhead clean during nozzle swaps. They need silicone wiper for Elegoo Centauri Carbon x4
Once part 1 & 2 printed slide the together. Then add M3 bolts and place rubber bands other them. My orange bands are weak and used three of them. Play with force.
There is way to use bolt under heat bed to attach it permanently to printer BUT due to fragile nature of print heads and constant development of firmware I decided to use magnets. Any crash should result in detaching poo shooter and save costly printheads.
With this design most likely we could purge in original spot at the front of the printer.
Things to add -> collection basket for poo waste. Hopefully not that much to collect!
Happy printing!
