Description

2023-12-28: Added a smaller version of the chute for use with the AMS Hub. Also added stronger desk grommet pieces.

 

This is my version of a poop chute for my X1C. It is designed to work with a 60mm (2-3/8") desk grommet hole, which is the standardized circular grommet size in America. If you don't have a 60mm grommet, you can easily buy a Hole-Dozer circular saw and cut one.

 

If you have your table against the wall, sometimes it can be hard to find a good place to put your poop chute; especially remembering to clean the poop bucket every once in a while. For me, I have a trash bin directly under my printer, and this poop chute automatically sends the poop directly into the bin.

 

The grommet itself also has a “wall” around it to help you slide the printer directly in place, so you never miss the mark. The pipe is also attached in such a way that it can “swivel” freely in case you need to turn it. The grommet, I recommend using some double sized tape if you want it to stay in position. The chute has a cover that can be removed in case you need to clear out a clog; though I haven't had one yet.

 

There are multiple versions of the grommet available depending on the thickness of your table: 15mm, 25mm (1"), 37.5mm (1.5") and 50mm (2").

 

You can find other models I have released for the X1C/AMS here:

If you appreciate my models, please consider buying me a coffee!

I didn't need the desk gromet for my application. The chute works perfectly and looks very nice.

Are the holes in the machine chute for magnets? Which magnets are you using and where did you source them?

No. This is held up by M3 screws.

Replying to @ultrajaxel :
A M3 fine thread screw will certainly fit, but it's not optimal and very far from the original coarse thread which, in my opinion, most closely resembles a sheet metal screw. Therefore, I have purchased the following: Countersunk head tapping screws C 2.9 x 9.5 TX 10.

There are additional STLs you can download. Just replace the existing one in the M3F with the altered STL.

I'm on my 4th attempt printing the chute itself and right where it starts to print the top screw hole the print head is colliding with the print. I've got to assume I'm missing something here but I'm not sure what. I've re-calibrated the printer, I'm on a standard bambu plate, at first I thought it was an adhesion issue but having watched the replay it's definitely a physical collision. Any thoughts? I love this design and everything else has printed great, would very much like to get it to work. I'm on current firmware & bambu studio versions for what that's worth.
