----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clean up after your pup the easy way with this 3D printable pooper scooper! Designed for convenience and usability, this scoop features a unique clip-on system that holds a biodegradable bag in place while the scooper teeth help quickly lift the 💩 out of the grass and into the bag. Once you're done, simply pull the bag to release, tie it, and dispose as usual. It's fast, easy, and dare I say fun! 

Highlights

• Fully 3D printable pooper scooper base + handle! …Or use a broom handle or ¾” PVC pipe if you'd like to save some filament
• Durable design to hold up to repeated use
• Scooper teeth lift💩out of grass and into the bag
• Convenient clip mechanism for attaching & securing biodegradable dog poop bags
• Upgrade your 3D printed handle with a custom TPU grip!

Handle options

1. Print the designed handle in sections using this size chart:
   • Short | 2 - 8.75" handle sections | Total height* = 21.8" (55.3 cm) 
   • Standard | 3 - 8" handle sections | Total height* = 28.3" (72.4 cm)
   • Tall | 3 - 8.75" handle sections | Total height* = 30.5" (80.6cm)
     • * total height includes the scoop.
   • Print the handle cap or upgrade to the custom TPU handle grip.
   • See assembly guide for details.
2. Attach scoop to a broom handle or paint roller pole. The scooper threads are Acme 3/4" 5 TPI which is common (in the US) for household tool handles. I've included a thread test print profile so you can check compatibility before printing. 
   • Examples you can buy: True Temper 60in Threaded Utility Handle, Wooden Extension Pole with Metal Tip , KeFanta Outdoor Broom Replacement Handle
3. Attach scoop to a ¾" PVC pipe (1.05" OD). A standalone print profile is available for the compatible scoop.

Bag Install Instructions

1. Wrap bag snug around base 
2. Twist, clip on and pull tight 
3. Give back of bag a light pull to check it's secure

Printing Notes

• Recommend printing in PETG for heat and weather resistance.
• Ignore Bambu Studio warnings about the handle having a floating cantilever. The model includes designed supports.

8/1/2025 Update

I'm excited to introduce the pooper scooper v1.1 scoop featuring shorter and wider teeth, reinforced with interior walls for strength. If the current design is working for you, then there's absolutely no need to upgrade. If you haven't printed (but have downloaded) or have had teeth break, then I recommend upgrading to the v1.1 scoop.

 

Two additional improvements along with the v.1.1 scoop:

1. You can now use a ¾" PVC pipe  (1.05" OD) as another handle option. A standalone print profile is available for this scoop variant
2. The 3D printed handle section thread clearance has been reduced to help maintain a snug fit as the print is exposed to the elements.
