Lovesac Sactional Toy Guard & Under-Couch Blockers

Lovesac Sactional Toy Guard & Under-Couch Blockers

Tired of the endless under-couch void swallowing everything from LEGOs to cat toys and remote controls? This modular, customizable blocker system is designed specifically for the Lovesac Sactional system to create a seamless, invisible barrier, keeping your floors clean and your items secure.

The Problem and the Solution

When printed in Black PLA/PETG, the blockers disappear into the natural shadows beneath your couch. You won’t even know they’re there—but they’ll be working 24/7 to defend your floors.

Key Features:

• Modular & Scalable: Includes multiple blocker lengths and specific connector types for every part of your Sactional configuration (corners, straight sides, and interior joints).
• Telescoping Design: Forget precise measurements! The blockers feature an integrated telescoping mechanism, allowing them to slide and extend for a perfect, friction-fit seal, even if your Sactional pieces aren't perfectly aligned. (See assembly photos in gallery for a clear visual).
• Durability: Field-tested against rogue toddler-flung toys and vacuum cleaner bumps.
• Aesthetic Integration: Designed to fit perfectly with the wooden feet of the Sactional for a flush look.

Component Guide & Where to Use Each Piece

Please use the following component types in conjunction with the planning guide (Image 0) and assembly photos in the gallery.

Component Type	Purpose & Description	When to Use It
Long Blocker	The main shield piece.	Used for the wider spans between legs. Can be telescoped to fit.
Short Blocker	A smaller shield piece.	Save filament on shorter edges. Still telescoping.
Leg-Through Connector	A precise coupler that has a circular passage.	For all corners and straight runs where a Sactional leg is present. The leg passes directly through this piece for a rock-solid, integrated fit.
No Leg-Through Connector	An inline, straight coupling piece.	Use this coupler to connect multiple blockers together for a long straight span where no leg is present for support.
Interior Corner Connector	A specialized 90-degree internal corner joint.	Used for deep, complex joints where two cushion sections meet inside your Sactional configuration.

Planning and Installation Guide

To make installation easy, follow these steps using the provided diagrams:

Step 1: Plan Your Config

Before you start printing, map out your Sactional arrangement to determine which pieces and connectors you need. This diagram illustrates a simple 3x2 block, showing you exactly where to place "Leg-Through" (Green) vs. "No Leg-Through" (Blue) points. Draw your own simple plan to count your requirements!

Step 2: Print and Prep

Print your required blockers and connectors. If printing in black, they blend in perfectly. Ensure your telescoping sections slide smoothly.

Step 3: Installation

• For Straight Runs: Connect blockers to form your required lengths. Where a leg is needed, use the Leg-Through connector, passing the leg through. Use the No Leg-Through for mid-span connections.
• For Corners: Use the Interior Corner connector to bridge deep joints. Example image shows a deep corner joint where two cushion segments meet, with the interior connector clearly pointing to its location.
• Final Assembly: Gently push the blockers until they make firm, flush contact with the wooden feet of your Sactional. The friction fit should hold them securely.

Print Recommendations

• Material: Black PLA was strong enough for me. PETG offers slightly more bounce/impact resistance if needed.
• Supports: Designed to print without supports!
• Color: Highly recommended in Black for maximum stealth.
