Are you getting bits of filament all over the place while you clean up your 3d printed parts? Not any more!
This is a drawer, more or less, that slides out from under a desk or table to allow easy access to a plastic shopping bag that will catch all of your plastic scraps. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't leaving any filament scraps where my dogs would eat them.
Printed on an SeeMeCNC Orion
.3 Layer height but it doesn't matter too much. I went for speed, not beauty.
Use supports on the Arms and Sliders.
Use a raft when printing rails.
There are full plate files as well as individual parts for printing what you need.
My Orion has a reliable print area of 150mm by 240mm. Some of the plates exceeded that area but it didn't seem to mind too much.
As for the movement of the sliders against the rails, I used petroleum jelly to lubricate them. It's quite possible that there are many things one could use. Hell if your desperate enough, whip out the KY. LOL!
To hold the bag in place the best, especially when there isn't much weight in it, I use a rubber ban wrapped around the part where the arms attache to the sliders.
It all gets held together with #6 screws and nuts.
