Slider for waste bin lid

prusaprinters

<p>Frustration is the best inspiration. In our household, the bin for plastic gets overfilled regularly. This causes the lid to stay open and when you slide the waste bin out again, the lid gets stuck behind a support beam that's on the bottom of your kitchen top.</p><p>There are two possible solutions:</p><ol><li>Instruct your kids not to overfill the bin for plastics</li><li>Design, print and install a simple slider that prevents the lid from getting stuck</li></ol><p>The first solution has been tried several times, but I think it's my instruction capability that is failing ;-) So, up for solution 2.</p><p>The design is really simple and so is the printing. No supports needed, print time &lt; 1 hour (do use the 0.25 layer height, everything more detailed is a waste - you won't ever see this print again) and it snaps onto the beam under your kitchen top. If you don't have that beam, you don't need this print.</p><p>If it doesn't snap for you, just add a drop op glue on the thin flat part en stick it to the bottom of your kitchen top.</p><p>I've tested this print myself for a few months now, and had no lid getting stuck (and my kids still fill up the waste bin to over the max). So I think you don't have to rescale the part, but if you want it bigger, scaling on the Z-Axis is possible.</p><p>Disclaimer: This slider doesn't close the lid, it just prevents the lid from getting stuck. So because the lid can still be a bit open, you could have some bad smell of your litter, this print doesn't prevent that.</p><p>Anyways, that's all there is, happy printing, happy sliding your waste bin out!</p>
