Introduction
A **highly customizable** cat litter scoop, allowing your scoop to perfectly fit your cat litter and litter box
The front features a blade design, making it **easy to remove** stuck litter from the bottom
Customize the hole size to match the cat litter you use, ensuring that **only clean litter is filtered**, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the litter and the health of your cat
Customize the scoop body size to fit the litter box, allowing for easy use in all corners of the litter box
(PS: This model is designed for single-color printing. Although the finished product shown in the images is black and white, this is because the filament ran out during printing and was replaced with a different color filament. It is not a multi-color print profile model. We apologize if this caused any misunderstanding.)
Instructions for Use
- The default dimensions for this model are:
- Scoop body: W12 D80 mm
- Holes: W26.5 D3 mm
- Two orientations for the hole areas to accommodate cat litter filtering in different scenarios:
- The holes in the front area are parallel to the arm, so when quickly shaking the wrist for filtering, the cat litter's movement path in the front area aligns with the shaking path, making it easier to filter out;
- The holes in the rear area are perpendicular to the arm, so when lifting the arm or wrist for filtering, the cat litter will roll backward. At this point, the movement path precisely aligns with the hole arrangement, making it easier to filter out.
- The model will generate as many holes as possible based on the set scoop body size and margins. When the size is sufficient, more than two columns of holes will be generated, and the last column of holes will be oriented vertically.
- For aesthetics and to prevent finger cuts, this model uses higher quality supports after weighing the pros and cons. Therefore, the removal process will not be particularly easy but also not overly difficult; it just requires a bit more force than default supports (please remove carefully to avoid damaging the model).
Important Notes
- If you are customizing a parametric model and have limited knowledge of 3D printing configurations, it is highly recommended that you **copy and paste the process parameters** from the 3mf file I provided.
- Due to the drawbacks of FDM printing, even though the finished product may appear smooth and closed on the surface, it is actually full of gaps, including internal spaces. Therefore, no matter how much you clean it, there will still be a considerable amount of cat litter residue, possibly even entering the inside of the scoop. For the health of your cat and yourself, please **regularly dispose of** old scoops and print new ones for use.
- The final printed product might have various minor imperfections. Before actual use, please try to **sand and polish** it using tools like flush cutters, sanding sticks (sandpaper), etc., to prevent scratches or cuts during subsequent use.
