Wheelie Bin Storage

thingiverse

Downloaded a wheelie bin previously from here and found that it was too small to be useful for me. The finished bin is approximately 175x120x95. The uploaded models are slightly different to those shown in the pictures. I made the base larger as i found that when resting on a soft carpet or similar they would tip over. The bins are approximately 1/6th scale and made to hold at least 1kg of items. The one on the scale has approx 1.5kg of various nuts in it. The design is not based on a real one just the general size. To get the colours painted in the food and recycle recesses i found that it was best to drop acrylic model paint very thickly in the slot. Once dry any paint that had gone elsewhere could be removed by a cotton bud soaked in isopropanol. The nuts for the wheels. I would suggest putting a terminal screwdriver in the slot to stop the nut spinning while you tighten things up. Additional items: 2 of 35mm x 4mm Flange Bolts for the wheels. 2 of 20mm x 4mm Flange bolts for the lid. 6 x 4mm washers. 2 each on the inner side of the wheels. 2 for the lid. 4 x M4 Nyloc nuts.
