Raised Minimal Waste Tray/Poop Basket for A1 Mini

Boost MeI put a lot of attention into the finer details of what I produce and I test print it lots to make sure that beginners have the best experience. Boosting is FREE and helps me out immeasurably — if you like what I've produced, let me know by boosting and I'll keep at it!

 

This waste tray looks good, matching the aesthetic of your printer, is stronger than most and tucks up perfectly to your Bambulab A1 Mini.
 

I've designed this waste tray as a nesting box, allowing you to optionally print a thinner tray that perfectly sits within so you can make use of your chosen theme colour. It makes it easier to empty by simply grabbing the inner tray, emptying it and just chucking it back in.

 

It also just looks better.

It even works with printers that are raised off their surface whether on a concrete block or vibration isolation pads etc — you only need to make use of the underside inset holes and adjust the height of the adjustable legs, before printing them too.

Print Times

0.4 Nozzle | 0.20 Layers
Outer Tray: 1h 40m

Inner Tray: 1h 20m

Riser Legs: 20m

Using the Tray Riser Legs
The inset hole for the legs is 5mm deep. Measure the height of whatever your machine is on and add on an additional 5mm — so if your vibration pad or whatever is 12mm then your legs need to be 17mm for the perfect fit! Just scale the legs in Bambu Studio along their Z axis, making sure to uncheck ‘Uniform Scale’.
