As I had to sort trash at home into approximately 100 distinct categories for the recycling center, I required a solution to separate, store and transport it efficiently. I devised a plan to create "doors" in plastic containers known as Euroboxes. Since I couldn't find a suitable latch on Thingiverse, I designed my own latch from scratch. The screw hole is specifically designed for M4 screws. I used my Dremel tool to cut the finger hole; however, next time I'll employ Forstner bits for that purpose. The hinge in the images is actually that one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1551631. A piece of a monster sparkler from New Year's Eve was repurposed as a bolt through the hinge.
