Trash can pedal

thingiverse

I decided to turn a regular trash can into a pedal trash can by creating these parts based on a design I found online. The design is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBGR5gWLfE. You'll need to print as many loop hooks as your trash can needs, depending on its shape. I printed 4 since my trash can has 4 corners. To complete the project, you'll also need a few extra parts. These include 3 screws and washers for the pedal hinge attachment that will connect to the bin, one self-tapping screw for the cap's hinge, and one self-tapping screw for each loop hook. Additionally, you'll need some rope. Finding the perfect spot for the hinge and the lever took a bit of practice, but it was worth it in the end.
