No-nonsense Simple Hanging Poop / Filament Chute

Designed specifically for the Flashforge AD5X!

This stops flung filament and redirects it downward. A poop bucket / filament catcher is required!

Wait, what? Another one of these?

YES! I haven't been happy with most of the chutes I've found on various model sites. Many are too large, don't fit well, fall out, etc. This is a basic print that stays in place and does what it's supposed to do. No extra print time for holes or a massive size I don't need.

Prints without brims, supports or overly complex geometry. It should print, as-is, on the Flashforge AD5X and other printers without any issue.

To install: Remove the two screws to the left and right of the exit chute and use them to install the included connector clip, slide in the poop / filament chute, then plate a poop bucket / filament catcher underneath it.
