Description

We have this recycling box at home, and I got annoyed at the fact that you need to lift the lid aside with one hand (usually holding something you're about to throw into the box with the other!) and negotiate the lid in place every time you close it.

3D printing to the rescue!

Based on E. Soderberg's gear hinge model, I made this specially designed mount that clamps around the unique shape of the box. No need for screws, a slide-in locking mechanism secures the hinge in place.

As for mounting the cover of the box to the hinge, I did have to cheat a bit and use some double sided tape as my tolerances were a bit too loose. Screws would be best, but there's no undo button for those.
