POOP DEFENDER 5000 - mp5works

As the name suggests,…  my solution to the “wild poop jumping around the build plate” problem -_-

Includes a PTFE bumper angled at 30 degrees and top cover plate to deflect any ricochets.

I`ve had it grinding hard for a week without any incidents so might as well upload it now.

Is it 100% ? Probably not, but worked so far.

For this project I have used whatever came with the printer.

• Remember these screws you removed when you unboxed your printer? Either bed or AMS securing screws works fine.

  If you have a choice I would go with the shorter ones (AMS ones if I remember correctly).

  Alternatively any 3mm screw  up to 28mm long will work just fine. 

• Spare piece of PTFE tubing.
• Any pliers to hold PTFE tube while tightening the screw.
• Look at attached photos if you need further guidance with the assembly. 

Each print profile has a 2nd build plate attached with a PLA profile for the PTFE tube cutting jig

… or simply eyeball it. You want an angled end of the tube to allign with the poop chute body.

Please note:

I did attach PLA profiles only because I had them done already. I used them for the initial testing purposes.

PLA might be fine if that`s all you print and keep your enclosure ventilated, otherwise it will warp from the heat eventually.

Enjoy!
