Tired to print almost half a kilo of plastic for a box? This is the answer! :)

At the moment this IS the most lightweight (in both weight and printing time) poop chute I am aware about.

The walls are thin - 1.2mm in order to be perfectly printed with 0.4 or 0.6 nozzle. However it's strong enough for it's purpose.

Main characteristics:

  • Total print time: 3h13' (normal mode)
  • Total weight: about 177g(PLA)
  • No supports needed

Update:

V1.1:

If space around printer is a concern, 3 more variants were added:

  • Chute sm left: 30mm narrower on left side
  • Chute sm bach: 40mm narrower on the back side. Since the original spool location is on the back of the printer, only real benefits are for those using AMS or any kind of spool relocation
  • Chute small Bogo: 30x40mm smaller on back and left directions. Also the most efficient in material/print times departments.

V1.2:

  • lateral tab that slides underneath the printer was hollowed (less material) and moved so it touches the rear left leg of the printer. This makes it more stable in case of accidental bumping.
  • a small tab was attached to the support leg and it slides from the back of the printer (tight fit) making it even more stable.

Printing tips:

  • material: any non flexible
  • layer height: 0.2mm (can be higher but I didn't want to jeopardies the overhangs)
  • supports: not needed
  • top / bottom layers: 3 / 4
  • perimeters: 3 (for .6 nozzle will only be 2)
  • infill: ≥ 15%
  • speeds: whatever your printer is comfortable with.

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Happy printing!

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The original model was used only for few dimensions - my back of printer is a bit difficult to access in order to take the measurements.

Current design is lighter, takes less time to print (see printscreen) and serve it's purpose flowless. Also added a little pad that slides underneath the printer for more stability. The supporting leg isn't even needed since the center of mass is over the bottom flat surface but put it there for any eventuality.
