Automatic Trash Can Hinge Fix

thingiverse

I'm replacing the busted hinges on my automatic garbage can with new ones, taking care not to damage any surrounding parts. To get started, I carefully pry off the old hinge stubs using pliers, then smooth out the surface area with a razor blade. The replacement hinges come with a pre-drilled hole for the 3mm diameter hinge pin, which fits perfectly into place after drilling. Once in position, I secure the new hinges with a hot glue gun, making sure they're firmly attached to the base of the can. To complete the job, I need to ensure that the gear meshing system is functioning correctly, allowing the lid to open and close smoothly once again.
