Ultra-Slim Poop Bucket / Filament Catcher for A1

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

A low-profile, ultra-slim Poop Bucket / Filament Catcher for the A1. 

After placing my A1 printer on a paver stone to dampen vibrations, I realized that my regular filament catcher no longer fit next to it.

 

But you don't need your printer to be elevated to take advantage of this! It can work well for anyone wanting a slim filament catcher.

 

The shape and design were inspired by other “poop catchers” available, but reduced in size in order to fit into a smaller space.

 

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!
