Filament Trash Can

I'm fed up with constantly spewing out filament that ends up draped over everything on its way to the trash can, leaving behind a tangled mess of plastic hair on the floor. No more! This clever little trash can is a game-changer - it expertly catches and traps dropped filament, saving you from the frustration of dealing with stray strands. Plus, its design doubles as a handy holder for your tweezers. I've tailored this creation to fit snugly on my Fabricator Mini (with a diameter of 70mm or approximately 2.75 inches). The design is split into two separate parts, ensuring easy printing and assembly. To avoid any potential breakage, I omitted the raft from the lid's design - those long, thin sections needed extra care to prevent damage. My initial prints were made in PLA, but I've since considered using ABS for the lid, which might provide more flexibility for those delicate little arms. So far, my PLA prints have held up without issue, and I've deliberately designed them with a balance of thickness and flexibility in mind.
