🐾 Cat Litter Scoop – Snap-Fit, Two-Part Design

A simple but comfortable litter scoop, designed with small printers in mind 🐱
Instead of printing the scoop as one large piece, this version is split into two parts: a handle and a scoop head, connected with a clean snap-fit joint.

Thanks to this design, the scoop fits easily on printers like the Bambu Lab A1 mini, while still keeping a full-size, comfortable grip once assembled.

Printing the handle separately also allows it to be oriented on its side, giving it a much nicer surface finish and a more ergonomic feel in the hand. The grip is shaped to sit naturally in your fingers, making everyday use more comfortable.

ℹ️ Material note:
The snap-fit connection requires the parts to flex slightly during assembly.
For this reason, PETG is strongly recommended, as it handles this kind of one-time deformation much better than PLA and helps avoid cracking during assembly.
