Description
Print with support on the build plate as the bin sits on the 3 legs.
NOTE: - The bin with fins is very difficult to print. The fins start as a relatively small patch on the build plate which easily breaks off if your build plate isn't sticky and/or filament retraction is not great. I guess 1 in 4 is successful regardless of size.
TB3 bin is easy.
The model history: - When a project to 3D print a rocket for a University wind tunnel was scrapped I decided to use the bottom section as a bin. Scaling it down by 50% resulted in a bin that sits nicely on a desktop for scraps of paper etc. Scaling down to 25% is a nice pot for USB sticks or pencils or whatever. See the picture with the sizes.
