About this 3D model

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.
