Description

I decided to create this model because my waste basket is positioned on the shelf under the printer, and this solution came to mind. You can easily adjust the length/direction of the tunnel by adding/removing tubes of different lengths and angles. I have printed and tested all tolerances, but to prevent failed prints, I recommend reading the description below.

 

Magnetic Modular Poop Chute Tunnel for Bambu Lab printers. This 3D print model offers an adjustable-length and angle.

Designed for easy assembly with magnetic connection, this model allows quick customization of desired length and angle. The adjustable features cater to various printer setups, ensuring compatibility with X1C/P1P/P1S Bambu Lab models.

Compact and sleek, the tunnel seamlessly integrates with the printer's aesthetics while providing a discreet and efficient waste disposal solution.

 

All parts are modeled with tolerance taken into account, but please pay attention to the different support types required for the magnetic frame and other components.

  • Filament: PLA
  • Support for Magnetic frame: please print the part with normal supports facing the magnet slots up
  • Support for other parts: for the angular connections please use slim trees supports
  • Layer - 0.2mm
  • Brim: i recommend using inner brim for the tubes
  • Magnets: 12 pcs of various sizes (ensure to check for the correct magnetic plate option)
  • At the moment, this build is not compatible if you're using a back spool. I will add a solution in the near future

UPDATES:

08.02.2024

  • added Magnetic Frame for 12 magnets 8x3mm
  • added Magnetic Frame for 12 magnets 6x3mm
  • added Magnetic Frame for 12 magnets 8x3mm (to fit under the old AMS hub)
  • added Main Tube without the monitoring hole

14.02.2024

  • added short version of Main Tube part (with and without monitoring hole)

Looking good. Thank you for the feedback. It should hold up without those straps, so feel free to try using it without them.

Also, try using this one as an end piece, because it seems you used a connection piece instead.

I kinda took your idea here and ran with it. I liked the idea but needed to modify this to go off to the side of the printer to a collection bin under my workbench. I started with the magnetic plate and remixed to take the magnets I had on hand (6x3mm), then realized that it doesn't fit with the AMS hub installed on the printer. I redesigned it to include a notch. I then redesigned the outlet tube to be shorter, made a different connection style, decreased the width of the tubes to 35mm, and changed the angle of the elbows to 55°. The lengths and angles fit great, but my tube gets jammed, so I will have to increase the width and print again. I won't upload remixes without your permission, but once I have a final working poop chute, I think others would like it to go off to the side as well.

Great work! However, you might achieve the same configuration by using the pieces from my model. It was designed to be extendable and adaptable in terms of angles to suit your needs. Except for the magnetic frame – soon, I will upload a few options for different magnet sizes. If you require tubes in different sizes or different angles for connection pieces, feel free to ask, and I'll upload additional options as needed. It's challenging to anticipate individual setups, so I designed it this way and now collecting feedback to make updates. Please keep in mind that for longer setups, stronger magnets may be needed to hold it in place.

The issue I had with your models was that the main tube was too long for the elbow to clear the edge of the workbench, even with a 35° elbow. If you look at my sketch, the main tube needs to basically end immediately at the poop outlet and allow for a very short connection to a 55° angle elbow. I'm going to tinker some more with widening the tube to prevent jams, while maintaining this clearance.

Right, the top part. Now I get it. I will think about how to make the top part shorter. The problem I see is the angle of the tubes. As you mentioned previously, the tube may get jammed because you need a pretty steep angle, and the diameter of the tubes should be wide enough to make the whole system work. But yeah, every single setup is unique. I designed it like that because it suits me. Thank you for highlighting the issue. I will consider a few modifications.

6x3mm magnets press fit perfectly. a little thin super glue and accelerant, they're staying in. holds on nicely even with all this weight on it, will see if it holds on while printing at higher speeds. The raised edge that fits inside the printer's chute is a little loose on my p1s, there's maybe half a mm of slop sliding up and down, a quarter mm of slop side to side. attached is an image of a flexible gasket flap I designed for a totally different part to get a closer seal without needing to play with close tolerances, works great in PETG unsure about PLA. maybe you could design something like this for the mating surface to the printer? in any case pretty happy with this chute design, my poops come rocketing out of the end of it.

Edit: holds up fine under printing but when i snapped my printbed back into the printer it fell off suddenly, so it's not quite secure enough it seems.

Wow, that's an impressive chute setup. The raised edge is designed to be a little loose because I don't think every printer has the exact same dimensions for the chute, so I included a bit of tolerance there. As for your gasket construction, I'm not sure I understood it from the photo, as it's a bit unclear. Could you please post another one so I can better understand your idea?

Best system I found that works for my need. I did use blue tack to stop it from sliding downwards off the braket part (most likely it's something from my print) Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. It looks like you are placing the bracket part upside down. The main tube should slide into the bracket from the top, not from the bottom. It should hold without using tack or any other adhesive.

Perfect solution to my problem of my old poop chute getting clogged. This one drops the poop nicely straight down into a bin underneath the printer. I did design an adapter to fill the gap between the end 30° piece and my stand, so the only suggestion I'd make would be longer end pieces to extend further.

Thank you for the feedback. If I understood your issue correctly, you can add tubes to extend the end piece.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I do agree that the pieces don 't fit together super tight. I would suggest some sort of snap or something to click them into place. Either way, I used glue to glue each piece together. I didn't use crazy amounts of glue just in case I need to snap a piece apart, but it's only been a day so I think I am good with it the way it is. This solves a huge problem for me as I had nowhere for the poop to go. The solutions that have something on the side of the printer just wasn't good enough. I wanted something that would last longer before I needed to empty it.

Hello =) Would it be possible that you could make a 45° bend and a 4cm pipe? Then it would suit my setup perfectly =)

I'm sorry, but I can't decrease the size of the tubes. A smaller size can lead to tube clogging, which is why I chose 5cm.

Filament got stuck often at door but chute system is genius!

Thank you for the feedback. Could you please provide a bit more detail about the issue? I want to understand what is causing the filament to get stuck.

I am not quite sure... So I designed the adapter that I did. I think because the first piece is magnetic and over the entire door, the vibration makes it shift a bit. That is enought to expose something for the partially cooled filament purge to stick to. It looks great around the entire door, but maybe something at the bottom only is enough. Please look at this https://makerworld.com/en/models/230302#profileId-247621

I think there might be two issues. Firstly, the magnetic frame seems to have been printed incorrectly because it should firmly fit into the poop door of the printer. Secondly, the magnets you are using may not be strong enough. No matter how hard my printer shakes, the poop chute stays in place. Your adapter is fine, but the front wall should be taller; otherwise, the poop will fly past the adapter.
