Description

Do you own a P1S or X-series printer that flings filament poop all over your floor? Is it positioned in a location where using the typical poop chute can be quite a hassle? Allow me to introduce the innovative Poop Drawer! This nifty addition directs any printer residue into a conveniently located drawer beneath your printer. All you have to do is slide out the drawerand dump out the poop. Easy peasy lemon squeazy. The Poop Drawer requires approximately 800g of filament and takes approximately 23 hours to complete the printing process. Glue is highly recommended on the main body pegs, and overlaping areas on the drawer.

Changelog:

1/8/2024 - Updated print profile, replaced chute with V2

1/9/2024 - Added drawer lid print profile

@mendieselnco Neat idea, really liked it at first, but my second thought was "the poop will get into the belts running underneath the printer". Maybe this is something to think about for V2, probably a closed drawer? Or you come up with a plate you can print to close the bottom of your printer to no dust gets to the belts underneath, I would instantly print it :P

Working on a lid, still working out kinks but should be out later this week.

I'm thrilled with this model, with the ramp V2 the poop sometimes falls to the front edge of the drawer. In my experience, the descriptions that the bolts don't fit exactly are due to the material. I had the same problem with PLA, but with PETG it fit exactly. A lid for the drawer would be great, thank you for your great work.

@user_1999851444

love this, but have problems with poop getting stuck in chute, fills up and overflowed into my P1S twice.

@Biviyt

The drawer goes together a little bit to hard. Great model

@buddha620

Great design!! perfect solution for the tight space I placed my printer in. Using the vibration feet, there was enough clearance to where the lid wasn't necessary. Did have to use a light hammer to get the pegs in using PLA, just a material expansion thing for anyone worried. V2 chute works perfect! Thank you for the design!

@rayrayrachel

So far so good. Printing the lid right now and then will do a multi-color print to test and see how it does.

my only issue is the chute itself likes to clog and the filament piles up and I end up digging it out so it does not overflow into the printer. if I was to change anything it would be the sliding angle of the chute so the filament is more inclined to roll or slide down into the drawer

Also ran into this issue where the filament poop would land on the flat spot on the chute when the printer fails to fling the poop hard enough. Revised the chute to increase ramp angle and attached an updated .stl for chute v2 in the raw models folder.

Replying to @mendieselnco :

With this ramp, the filament now arrives safely in the drawer on both printers (P1S for PLA/X1C for PETG). Now all that's missing is a lid for the drawer so that no poop can get into the belts. Thank you very much for your great work. Unfortunately the new ramp came a day late, I only printed both yesterday with the old ramp and reprinted the improvement today.

@TechDad

Interesting concept and design. Unfortunately, the first thing that came to mind was that the poops would all bunch up at the bottom of the chute and not spread out across the whole surface of the drawer. When you pull out the drawer, there is a very good chance that you'll end up with poops scattered under the printer, requiring the printer to be raised to grab the errant poops. Finally, as was already mentioned, the last thing I want are poops getting anywhere near the belts located under the printer.

@benjamin.whitle

Hey. Great idea. Not sure why, but the pegs that go into the holes in the base are too big. I hammered them in and the frame cracked on one side. I took a drill bit out and enlarged the holes and they fit fine after that. I'd rather them be a little small and have to glue it rather than rely on a friction hold.

@devin.d.ford

Ran into the same issue, also think that the draw should probably have a top

@benjamin.whitle

Replying to @devin.d.ford :

why a top?

@devin.d.ford

Replying to @benjamin.whitle :

The chance of filament bunching up in the draw and getting caught in the belts under the printer. Ideally there would be a removable lid for the draw so that could be prevented, that or some kind of bottom printer cover that attaches to the frame.
