The Dirty Dumper

Model:

The Dirty Dumper is designed for multiple uses like collecting dirt or crumbs from your table or counter, and even the original idea which is to collect various game pieces from the game table after a tabletop game or board game and dump them into their container or bag. 

Inspiration:

Originally, the idea came when I saw the “Counter Cleaner” model by Cookiedeluxe. I wanted to have a way to collect the game pieces after the annual family game night and collect them in a bag. Most of the games played use tiles or smaller game pieces and everyone helps to pick them up and store them in the bag. 

Design:

This design allows for a bag to be placed through the inside opening of the “Friction Insert” and then folded over the outside. This new assembly is then placed through the “Dirty Dumper” from the top and pulled down to create a friction fit. Take the “Handle” and bring it up from the bottom of the assembly, while capturing the edge of the bag that is hanging out and pull that up to create additional friction to hold the bag in place. 

As pieces fill the bag, gravity should do the work to hold the assembly in place while you continue to collect the game pieces. When finished, simply reverse the order and close your bag. 

If you want to use this design to clean your counters, simply use a bag in the same way above to collect the dirt or forgo the bag and dump the items directly into a trash bin. 

The choice is yours!

Model Dimensions:

W: 6in/152.4mm 

H: 2.5in/63.5mm 

D: 3in/76.2mm

NOTE: These measurements do not include the protruding handle nor the guide wings

The “Pre Oriented” model is designed to fit within a minimum build plate area of 220mm x 220mm. I included the standalone part models for anyone wanting to used different colors.

Print Settings:

Keep it simple. I recommend a 0.2mm layer height. PLA or PETG should do the trick just fine. For my AnkerMake M5, the print time was quoting 5hrs 40mins from the slicer for the “Pre Oriented” model with the “Normal” print profile.

You will want to use supports on the “Handle” and the “Dirty Dumper” files. I recommend organic/tree supports.

Community Request:

My 3D printer is currently out of commission, so I am unable to print this file. If anyone determines a print flaw or if you have any successful prints, please share!

Updates:

Please be on the look out for a future update to this model. I will be creating a version for round tables as well.
