Re: Purging strategy (was print head part#)

Greg.
Why not use most of the tubing that normaly went into the waste box as
a spare length to rebuild the pump and use Tygon(or whatever is used
with IV bags-or better yet oxygen nose kit tubing), connected near the
pump, to go to the waste recepticle?
That ought to at least double or triple the pumps useful life.

Regards
Duane
