It is possible to install a larger bin for the nozzle cleaning residues. Below are the instructions for self-install. It is necessary to have the printed parts and a drill with step bit 32mm. 

Alternatively, it is possible to replace the side sheet metal to a new version, available on our e-shop

A step drill 32 refers to a cone-shaped drill bit with stacked, increasing diameter steps that reaches a maximum cutting size of 32 mm

Files

Print the files using preset profile. The large wiper bin is set for vase mode, we recommend keeping the preset parameters in the 3mf file. The ideal material for the high volume waste bucket is PCCF, for the legs and large outer bin PETG. 

  • Large wiper bin 
  • Legs, print, print 3x to be placed on the bottom of the large wiper bin
  • Drill guide 
  • High volume waste bucket 

All files are available on our CORE One INDX Printables page

The other involved components used on the new nozzle cleaner, such as silicone, locker, adjuster, and related fasteners, remain the same as the ones previously used. 

Side sheet metal drilling

Drilling the metal sheet will produce metal dust and small metal particles. 

Before drilling, we recommend placing tape around the drilling hole, and preparing one or more magnets to attach to the sheet metal, for easier collection of the metal dust. 

Use the drill guide by placing it onto the pre-installed nuts, the remaining hole is the drill guide

You can use the drill guide to mark the starting drilling point, and remove the drill guide before drilling. Alternatively, you can use the drill guide to start the first, smaller drill, and remove it for the successive drilling steps. 

Drill the side sheet metal using a step drill 32. 

The best method to collect the remaining metal dust is using a magnet to attract it as much as possible. 

Assembly

Install the nozzle cleaner assembly as in the below pictures. 

Then, install the large wiper bin, equipped with 3x legs, onto the side sheet metal. 

Printer settings

On the printer menu, navigate to >Settings >Nozzle Cleaner >Nozzle Cleaner Capacity, and set it to Extended

Would be nice to beable to order the silicone wipers or even the printed parts, cause printing PCCF on an INDX isnt recommonended due to Nozzlegate..

Also.. how does the larger purge bin stay attached to those who are NOT using the side mounted spool holders (like me whos using the INBXX)? I do not want to install them just to hold it on.. should have one that holds the bar magnets..

Tip: If you're going to use a magnet to collect the metal dust, put a small plastic bag around it, when you're finished you can just turn the bag inside out and collect the metal dust instead of having it all stick to the magnet.
