The purpose of this footrest is to raise the user’s feet while seated on the toilet, helping place the body in a more natural squatting-style position. By elevating the knees and changing the seated angle, it may make bathroom use feel more comfortable for some people.

This product is meant to be used only as a seated footrest. It is not designed to be stood on, used as a step stool, or used to support full body weight. For safe use, rubber feet or anti-slip pads should be added underneath before placing it on a bathroom floor.

If using a larger printer print in one go, if not use slucer and seperate then reconnect after printing.

Best material

Use PETG if possible. It is tougher than PLA, handles bathroom humidity better, and has more flex before cracking.

PLA can work, but I would only use PLA if it will stay indoors, dry, and you print it strong with enough walls/infill.

Slicer setup

Orientation

Print it flat on the bottom, exactly as the model sits on the floor.

Do not rotate it onto its side.

Supports

No supports needed.

The top ribs, rounded corners, and center cutout should print without support as long as the model is flat on the bed.

Layer height

Use:

0.24 mm for a good strength/speed balance

0.20 mm if you want a cleaner finish

0.28 mm if your printer/nozzle handles it well and you want it faster

Walls

Use 5–6 walls.

For a footrest that will take pressure, walls matter more than super-high infill.

Top/bottom layers

Use 6 top layers and 6 bottom layers minimum.

If using 0.24 mm layer height, that gives about 1.44 mm of solid top/bottom skin.

Infill

Use:

25–30% gyroid for normal use

35–40% gyroid or cubic if you want it extra strong Strong PETG profile

Layer height: 0.24 mm

Walls: 6

Top layers: 6

Bottom layers: 6

Infill: 35% gyroid

Supports: off

Brim: on, 8 mm

Seam: rear or hidden side

Print orientation: flat on base

I would personally use 35% gyroid, 6 walls.

Brim

Use a 6–10 mm brim, especially because this is a large flat print.

PETG can still lift at the corners on big prints, so the brim helps.

PETG temperature starting point

For a typical PETG:

Nozzle: 240–250°C

Bed: 75–85°C

Fan: 20–40%

First layer speed: 20–30 mm/s

Main speed: 60–100 mm/s, depending on printer.
