Cat Litter Locker II - Bucket Handle

prusaprinters

Pet owners – especially cat holders - probably know, what I am talking about:litter must be disposed.And when havening e.g. more than one place / toilet, the litter bucket must be carried around.There is a professional product, the “Litter Locker II” ( provided link here to be free of doubt BUT this is for info only, NO advertisment, no advantage for me ).Unfortunately someone at the vendor decided to only have one handle which does sit at the rear of the locker and makes carrying uncomfortable and makes one feel, “it falls over”.So we decided to create and use our own handle – here it is.There are two possible use cases:   a) Leave the shovel at its place   b) Cut the shovel holder and move it down a little - see belowOption a) requires to print:2x Nut normal1x Screw normal1x Screw Showel ( longer as there the locker wall and the showel holder thickness to be bridged )1x Bucket handleMounting:Make two 7 mm holes at a 18 mm distance from where top and bottom from Locker meet.Apply screws with resp length from the inner.Put nut through hole at flat end of Bucket handle and fix – both sides of course.Option a) only allows the handle to go down and stop at 90° angle … residing on shovel holder.Option b) requires to print option a) material PLUS 1x Screw normal extra.Mounting:Remove shovel holder and mount as above with two “Screw normal”Cut of the angled original mount of the shovel-holder and mount where it suits to you with anoth 7mm hole and the Screw Showel as above.The pictures at the end of the series do show how we now use option b.)Have fun, provide makes and likes.The handle well need support for printing.I did choose a high infill but I think a 35% max for the handle would do it as well.The screws are small, so I printed them with a 100% as the do have to carry the full load which can go to a few kilogramms.
