Description

A high-capacity 'Tower of Power' poop chute system designed to route poop wads to a floor-standing waste bin of your choice; behind, under or astride your printer.

 

Angle-adjustable and modular, this routing system allows for high capacity excess disposal during long and multi-color prints which tend to result in poop pile-up and paused prints when using many of the wrap-around, side-by-side poop chutes available out there.

 

No more interrupted prints due to well-designed, but low-capacity poop chutes.

 

Parts:

  1. Poop Discard Receiver Tower
  2. 90 degree exit-elbow
  3. Straight cylinder coupler (print as many as necessary for your setup)
  4. 45 degree cylinder coupler (print as many as necessary for your setup)
  5. Straight Discard Tube (print as many as necessary for your setup)

This version has voids built into the mesh for 9mm x 3mm neodymium magnets that will allow a magnetic connection between the tower component and the back of the printer.

 

To imbed magnets (not required); in your slicer set a pause in the print at layer 50, insert a stack of 3 of the 9mm x 3mm magnets into each of the 6 magnet voids, then restart your print. This will imbed the magnets into the Tower body.

 

For assembly:
Attach the 90 degree elbow to the tower on that end that does not have the arrow. The end with the arrow indicates the discard, poop-out, direction.
Place the Tower's rectangular opening facing and directly against the back of your Bambu printer, aligning the tower's rectangular opening precisely with the printer's rectangular discard opening (magnets can help keep a seal). There should be no gap between the back of the printer and the back of the Tower.

  1. Be sure to take appropriate measurements of distance and required angles from the end of the 90 degree exit elbow, to your filament poop trash bin; (print the necessary quantities of the components necessary to complete the poop discard path to your trash bin).
  2. Attach one of the couplers to the 90 degree elbow. Two couplers are included with the file. Shown below, the couplers are the shortest cylinder, and the 45 degree elbow.
  3. Print as many couplers and tubes as needed for your particular poop trash-bin setup.
  4. Enjoy long, and multicolor prints without the hassle or worry of a poop-backed-up print stall.

 

The connections are tight and may take some working around to get seated after printing. Once seated, the strength of the connections will ensure the components don't become disconnected during use or movement.

 

Happy Printing.

Do other magnet sizes work as well? 9x3mm is a pretty uncommon size and I don't want to have another pack of magnets sitting around

It’s a fairly easy process in tinker cad to customize the void sizes. What size magnets are you working with?

I like the Idea, but the back piece is so big and bulky, takes up a lot of room
