Emptying a paddling pool shouldn’t need babysitting.
The drain sits flush with the floor, so the last stretch of water just won’t leave without you tilting and holding the whole thing. Annoying.
So I modeled a drain wedge (yes, that’s the SpaceMouse from making an appearance). Slide it under, open the drain, walk away. It empties itself.
Print stats:
1.7h print, 77g, no supports.
Heads up: it’s PLA, so only slide it under when it’s time to empty. Don’t leave it baking in the sun all summer.
