Living Hinge 3D Print Waste Disposal Can

thingiverse

Are you fed up with all those bits of brims, skirts, failed first layers, and nozzle oozings cluttering your 3D printer area? This Waste Disposal Can has a unique living spring hinge that lets you deposit those bits of plastic swarf easily with one hand. And they won't fall out even if its turned upside down. When the lid and body are printed as-is, you get a tight interference fit between the lid and body of the disposal can. This ensures minimum chance of spillage. **Printing:** To ensure robust hinges, print the lid with 0.25mm layer heights or lower. The springs are only 0.5mm thick in the Z direction, and should have at least two printed layers. The body can be printed in any resolution.
