Mountable Trash-bin with spring-loaded Lid

thingiverse

You've got leftovers on those spools? Any degraded plastic not suitable for printing something decent? Toss it in the trash-bin LITERALLY! This thing is also for you if you need a sturdy little bin that will take care of your trash after cutting off all those brims from your prints! This item can be mounted on a wall or desk with 3 screws or double-sided sticky tape. You can even design a new mount for it, just any (even a GoPro-style mount if you need an action trash-bin for some reason). The lid is loaded with 2 of those tiny springs sold on Aliexpress/Ebay/whatever as belt tensioners. By the way, those guys are terrible at tensioning belts and make things worse (you should always use rigid mechanical tensioners on your printers), so their place is in a trash-bin, and now you can put them there LITERALLY! Hooray! Spring-loaded lid allows you to stuff this bin with trash far beyond the capacity of the conventional bin of the same size (we all know how much you "love" taking out the trash). To assemble the bin, you'll need: 1. Printed parts (they are really required, trust me) 2. 2 torsion springs usually sold as belt tensioners 3. 2 M3x40 DIN7991 90° Countersink Hex Drive Flat Head Screws P.S. Those steps on the photos are some layer shifts due to me tinkering with driver currents, the design has no such features. I won't reprint mine, it's a trash-bin, come on, but you're welcome to post your flawless makes (just kidding, post any make, even plastic spaghetti).
