Wheelie Bins UK Style 1:10 Scale

thingiverse

I wanted a quirky little receptacle next to my printer for storing scaffold and print brims, resembling traditional UK wheelie bins. Fillman86's Aussie bin design inspired me, and I've remixed it into a more UK-centric looking wheelie bin with two sizes and two types of lids for each. The wheels operate smoothly (depending on your printer's tolerances) and the lid hinge has been reinforced to prevent breakage. Two bin sizes are available: 240L and 140L, both with two styles of lids. One features hoop handles that are a bit fragile but accurate in design, while the other boasts a more robust lip for practical use. I'm currently working on another set for 1:100 scale architectural prints as well. To ensure successful printing, support your model from the bed only if your printer struggles with overhangs and mid-air printing. A photo demonstrates the manual scaffold I used for printing at 1:10 scale. The lids also benefit from additional scaffold underneath. These designs were created using Blender 2.79. Blender files are included for easy modification. Changelog: 25th Jan 2019 - Fixed several errors causing Slic3r Prusa Edition to produce solid interiors. Some settings in Slic3r PE remain problematic, but Cura and S3D work without issue. I've also corrected non-coplanar faces to create a smoother appearance inside and out.
