Wheelie Bin Lid Hinge Pin

thingiverse

One of the hinge pins holding the lid of our municipal waste wheelie bin recently went missing so I modeled a new one. As is it is a slightly loose fit so it is probably best to add a little hot glue gasket to prevent it from falling out. It is modeled in FreeCAD, and the CAD files are included so you can modify it if you want. I recommend printing in something like PETG which will stand up to higher temperatures than PLA. It is also important to print it horizontally and with supports turned on. If you print it vertically the alignment of the layers makes the leaf springs very brittle and they snap off.
