Magnetic Door Handle + Filament Collector + Frontal Door

This ones will get you out of trouble when in wait of heat-bed or nozzle reaching the temperature before printing and you forget to be there when the filament is purged out... or at least it does it for me !
You can print just the Filament Collector if you don't have a plexiglass door closing your printer, in this case you don't need the magnet inside it
The thickness of the plexiglass must be 3mm
Advantages:
a small 4x4x3 mm neodymium magnet keeps the door closed with sufficient force but not too much. Will never give you problems or difficulty opening it easily when you want
the collector below the nozzle cut away the filament thread exactly when the print head moves away for start the print (obviously if you have placed it in the right place ...)
Use same holes to fix the hinges on Ultimaker right side
Just pull the handle to open the door
Disadvantages:
If your nozzle drips some filament thread longer than the distance between the hot -end and the print bed before the initial "nozzle purge", this already cold filament can interfere with the efficiency of the collector
Resources:
35cm of filament

Why two holes? Well the Filament Collector have two holes because when I use Simplify 3D for slicing object, the hole on the right fits better to my GCODE.
