The original purge bucket was a revelation. It sped up my prints and reduced wastage when doing two-color prints.
This version is a curved chute with a side exit. You need to put a layer of foil tape on the inner surface. With the tape, PLA slides right through the chute. The bucket doesn't reach to the edge of the aluminum extrusion because it would hit the Z-axis end-stop. Instead, I put another flap of aluminum tape to guide purged filament into a tray next to the printer.
