Description
Parametric Scoop!
This is a fully customizable scooper intended originally for cats so I can ensure I'm giving them the proper and same proportions :) Although with the customizability you can make a perfect scoop to fit your own needs
Open the Model in Makerlab via the “Customize" Button ( Desktop Only )
- You will see several parameters defined.
Adjust the Parameters
Modify these key parameters to fit your needs:
| Parameter | Description | Typical Range / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| scoop_width | Inner width of the scoop bowl | ~40–80 mm (wider for bigger scoops) |
| scoop_length | Inner length (front to back) | ~50–100 mm |
| scoop_height | Inner height/depth of the bowl | ~30–50 mm |
| wall_thickness | Thickness of walls and bottom | 2–3 mm for strength and printability |
| fillet_radius | Radius to round inside and outside edges | 2–5 mm (larger for smoother edges) |
| handle_length | Length of the handle extending behind the scoop | 70–120 mm (longer handle = better leverage) |
| handle_width | Width of the handle grip | 15–30 mm (adjust for comfort) |
| handle_height | Height/thickness of the handle grip | 8–15 mm |
| handle_radius | Rounded edges radius on handle | 2–5 mm (for comfort and print quality) |
| hex_size | Size of each hex hole in drainage grid | 4–8 mm (smaller for more holes) |
| hex_thickness | Wall thickness of each hex hole | 1.5–3 mm (balance strength and drainage) |
| hex_margin | Space between drainage grid and scoop walls | 2–5 mm (prevents weakening edges) |
Slice & Print
- Import the STL into your slicer software.
- Use standard PETG or PLA printing settings.
- Support material may not be needed if printed upright; add supports if necessary.
Post-Processing
- Remove any supports carefully.
- Light sanding can improve smoothness if desired.
- The drainage holes allow small crumbs to escape or if you want you can use it as a litter scoop as well!
Tips:
- Start with moderate fillet values (3 mm) for a balance of smoothness and print time.
- Increase wall thickness or amount in the slicer if you need a more durable scoop.
- Adjust handle size for your hand size and grip preference.
- Test print a smaller version to verify fit before printing the full size.
