Due to the success of my Mounted Trash Bin, I've created this standalone version. It's a large trashcan that prints in several parts optimized for 3D printing, with plenty of variations and optional additions for total customization!

_**Printing & Assembly**_

Due to the optimized design, you can print most of these parts using default print settings. Nearly all the parts print without supports, but the new Locking Inner Rim requires support generation for a long bridge to allow for the improved lid flap.

Here is a description of the various parts:

- **Lid_Locking** : The lid of the trashcan, which snaps into place when fully opened for one handed operation. Print with 4 shells/perimeters for a hinge longevity.
- **Top_Rim_Inner_Locking** : Snap the Lid into this part. _Enable Supports!_
- **Top_Rim_Inner_Locking_Loose** _(optional)_ : A looser version of the Inner Rim, useful for thicker trashbags or less precise printing. _Enable Supports!_
- **Top_Rim_Outer** : This is the part you wrap the top of your trash bag around, which is then sandwiched into place with the Inner Rim. _There is an oval notch on the front of both the Inner and Outer Rim. Make sure they're oriented the same way!_
- **Lid_OG** _(optional)_ : The original version of the lid, without a flap on the front, and doesn't lock in the open position
- **Top_Rim_Inner_OG** _(optional)_ : Only use with Lid_OG
- **Corner_Post** : The four vertical posts that connect the Top and Bottom Rims. I would suggest 4+ perimeters/shells for strength. Print 4. Align with the channels on the Bottom_Rim and snap all 4 into place. Then set the Top_Rim_Outer onto the four posts and press each corner straight down to snap into place.
- **Bottom_Tray** _(optional)_ : This tray rests inside the Bottom_Rim to support the bottom of the trash bag. Useful if you're throwing away heavy things that might rip the bag if unsupported.
- **Bottom_Tray_Deep** _(optional)_ : Another version of the bottom tray with higher walls. Usefull if you are tossing things that might leak.
- **Foot_TPU** _(optional)_ : Small feet to be printed with TPU or another flexible filament. These are simply glued to the corners of the bottom of the Outer_Rim to add a cushion between bin and floor, for protection and non-slip.
- **Walls_Plain** _(optional)_ : Conceal the trash bag and keep it from bulging out if it's larger than the bin. Print in vase mode with 0.6mm extrusion width and 0 top/bottom solid layers. 
- **Walls_Fluted** _(optional) : Same as Walls_Plain but with a fluted texture that adds a bit of strength and decorative appearance. More likely to warp from filament shrinkage while printing!

Yes, it's a lot of parts, but the result is a nice, large, super functional trashcan that you can customize to your needs! Leave a comment if you have any questions or requests and I'll respond ASAP!

- **Nov 2, 2025 Update** : Added an 'ExtraFlex' version of the Corner Posts, which makes it easier to take apart and put together over and over.

Photographed model was printing with various PLA filaments on the [Qidi Plus4](https://qidi3d.com/products/plus4-3d-printer?sca_ref=6089281.BQS8d0sJuF) (Also [on Amazon](https://amzn.to/4jON7VK))

MERIDIAN 001 is a lovely stout pot divided through the center. Pair the design with a filament swap for a striking piece that will surely make both you and your plants happy. BONUS: You can always use these pots as containers for other purposes. Scale as you wish to suit your needs :)

This pot includes a drainage hole on the bottom for growing live plants and pairs well with my [200 mm Floating Drip Tray](https://than.gs/m/1027158?affiliateCode=MAKE) to allow for excess runoff.

There was initially a glitch exporting the STL which caused some extra artifacts on the bottom half of the photographed model. I've since fixed that, but included _'MERIDIAN_001_old.stl'_ as well in case you like that look.

**_Printing Guidelines_**
Default print settings should work fine, though you may want to increase wall/shell count to help with water tightness. I used 3 shells, 8 solid top layers, and 15% gyroid infill at 0.16 mm layer height.

Photographed models were printed on the [Bambu Lab X1-Carbon 3D Printer](https://bit.ly/MA_X1C) using [Bambu Lab Matte PLA filament](https://bit.ly/bamFIL) (and translucent PETG for the top half of the scaled down example).*
