Description

UPDATE: For those who have been asking for a smaller version, please see my Small Dumpster model.

Here is a cute design that is worthy of your desk. You could use it as a basic trash can, or why not hide your stationery supplies in there?

What about your desk snacks?

This is a very easy print, even though it has several parts to assemble. I like that - it makes me feel like I am doing something towards the build.

Dimensions: 170mm x 110mm x 135mm (or depending on where you are - 6¾ x 4¼ x 5¼ inches)

The wheels swivel and roll. Each lid has a support to lock it open at several angles.

The front has an area where you can attach a label (badge) as I did for “PLA scraps”. Be more creative than me, but head to MakerLab / Make My Sign and create a rectangular sign that is 80mm x 35mm.

I hope that you enjoy this model as much as I enjoyed designing it and bringing it to life. Please give it a like, collect it too, and then print it out. When done, make sure that you leave a rating and a nice comment and drop in a photo. It sounds like a lot of work on your part, but it won't take you a second, and it makes me feel better about the time I put into this. If you want to help me even more, then follow ‘Every Day Counts’ as well.😀

Assembly:

((See the photos for hints))

Remove the brims from the parts and place all the waste in a trash bin. Don't have a bin? See my collection for one to suit.
Assemble the wheels by pushing each tyre into the castor. They will just drop into position.
Insert each castor into the bottom plate. This may take some back-and-forth twisting, but they will go in.
Add the bottom plate to the main body. Use a dot of SuperGlue on each corner to keep it in place.
Find the support and support pins for the lids. Press them firmly into the holes on the lids.
Find the middle support for the lid. Add a dot of glue to the hole and then insert these into the holes in the top-middle of the main body.
Add the lids to the top and ensure that they are inserted into the middle pins.
Find the end connectors (again, tiny - sorry) and press these into place so that the round pin goes into the lid and the square attaches to the main body. I'd recommend these also have a dot of glue to keep them in place.
Do you want a sign for the front? Head to MakerLab / Make My Sign and create a rectangular sign that is 80mm x 35mm. Design it to be fancier than my boring example.

Nice model! Printed with all Bambu pla filaments.

@EveryDayCounts

@3DPrintingNL Thanks for that - especially the great photos. I just knew that someone was going to use this for the A1 poop! It seems that it works pretty well. I also see that you have mounted the support struts backwards. The pin is designed to go through the hole on the strut and then into the lid. No biggie if it works for you. I hate to ask, but could I get you to give a star rating as well?

@3DPrintingNL

Replying to @EveryDayCounts :

It works for me… If you can tell me how to rate I’ll do it! (normally I get a rating reminder, but with this model I didn’t get it)

@EveryDayCounts

Replying to @3DPrintingNL :

Yes, I also noticed that sometimes it doesn't offer a rating. Seems like a bug.

Thank you for the photo, review and comment. I was not quite sure what you meant by the comment. Did you mean to create a solid base without the wheels?

@Kyaenos

Replying to @EveryDayCounts :

ive edited the comment i’ve write it wrong lol sorry!!😀

@Invader_Akira

It came out super cute! I had some issues with my filament settings, but I just started printing

@EveryDayCounts

It does look super cute! I'm curious, though, why you chose to print the lids flat on the bed?

@Invader_Akira

Replying to @EveryDayCounts :

B/c I’m new at this and I felt a little more comfortable doing it like that. I could try it with how the plate comes originally and compare the two 😁

I love using this for all of my filament scraps that come off my printer never used to have a place to put them but this is perfect when I first got the 3-D printer I made a joke to my friend that I’ll print a little trashcan like this and then I found this and it was really funny.

I use this as my filament catcher behind my Bambu Lab P1S. I thought it was appropriate since it is behind the printer haha! I would print the little arms that hold up the lids in a sturdier filament than PLA. I snapped mine pretty quickly since it is so thin. Not a problem with the model, just my filament. I printed the lids in PETG anyway to give it a two-tone look (since I liked the color combo I had), and I will reprint just those little arms in the same filament in the future.

The designer has replied

@EveryDayCounts

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I will look at the little arms and see if I can improve them.

I'm still not done putting it together but it all printed up great. I love the fact the wheels/hinges all work and mobe with relative ease. I printed it to discard brims and small supports and I think it's going to work perfectly for that.

@forgednfilament

Printed mine and it cam together really well! My only complaint is that since the body prints upside down (which makes sense!), The tops of the side slots that would be used to pick up a dumpster don't always come out great. I will manually add some supports next time I want to print this so the bridges don't have to be as long. 5 Stars from me! (as soon as I can figure out how to add a rating)
