I wanted a poop bin that checked the following boxes:
- Prevents air/heat from escaping from the purge chute
- Reduces noise escaping the printer via the purge shoot
- Does not rattle at high speeds
- Holds a medium amount of poop/purge waste (I print a medium amount, not a TON but enough that tiny bins aren't enough)
- Attaches via magnets so it is easy to remove in order to dump the poop
I designed this using @thrutheframe's awesome chute cover as a starting point, it fits perfectly and I would definitely not have tried doing this if I had to design that interface myself haha!
Some notes:
- I put all 7 magnets (6x3mm magnets) in for the photo but I tested it with just 3 (top 2 and bottom center) and it held just fine so you probably don't need to populate all the magnet holes.
- I recommend tree supports at 10 degree threshold, and from build plate only, that is what I printed with and had good results.
- This would probably be best printed in a transparent material so that you can see at a glance how full the bin is but I didn't have any. Please post your Make if you do it though!
