Low-Profile Poop Bucket / Filament Catcher for A1

Boost MeLike my work? A BOOST would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Yes, another Poop Bucket / Filament Catcher. 

 

Now available for the A1 and A1 mini!

 

While there are many other poop bucket options out there, I've found most of them simply too small or too tall!

 

I wanted something that was both large enough for multi-color print purges while still being low-profile.

 

This gave me the opportunity to learn how to design and create my own waste container / filament catcher / poop bucket.

 

The shape and design were inspired by other poop catchers available.

This one was designed to fit under many purge / poop deflectors so that you can empty it during a print without bumping into anything.

Due to the large, flat base of this item, please make sure to clean your build plate before printing this!

 

If you are having issues with this or any other large print warping, try adding brims to the print, and make sure you wait for the build plate to cool down before removing it!
