This project is aimed at those who like to have nice and good things. Since this isn't just about something that merely functions - there's already plenty of bins like that out there - I decided to create a container that combines functionality with aesthetics using nicer materials.
The Nicer Purge Bin is composed of several components, using various materials, making it an interesting project for beginners; there are several ways to make it:
For those who have a hybrid printer, like the H2D, which I usually call a production HUB.
In this case, I consider it an excellent project to undertake after receiving your machine - simple and one that uses different functionalities of your machine: printing and laser cutting.
So, let's start with the H2D Combo Laser.
If you have this printer, this project can be broken down as follows:
The piece I call the "Bin" should be printed - the material I suggest is regular PLA, in Light Gray color, which is very similar to the printer's color.
Both the "Base" and the "Deflector" are optional, can be printed in regular PLA in Dark Gray color, or PLA CF in "Lava Grey" color. The Lid is an extra elevation that will catch the "poops" that for one reason or another come out at higher speed, and the base is an element that will give greater stability to the product, lifting it slightly and creating a 4-point anti-slip support; as I'll explain further ahead, the base can be fixed or removable.
The transparent window can be printed in transparent PETG, however, I recommend purchasing "0.3mm Transparent PVC Sheet" which in this case will offer the optimal solution, with glass-like transparency. This material should not be cut on the printer with the cutting tool, but rather with a guillotine - if you don't have one, you can use an X-acto knife.
For the feet, you also have two options, both involving laser cutting. These can be 2mm EVA foam or cork, with the latter being offered as a sample material with your printer, at least at the time of this product's launch. The feet are only necessary if you choose to make the project with the Base, which I recommend.
Also optional, a lining for the container - the bin - to prevent poops from sticking when they come out too hot. It's not something common, but it can happen. However, if there's something you can consider "more optional," it would be this element.
The laser profile is available for both the feet and the bin lining.
All material is available in the bill of materials attached to this project (BOM), however, as always, you're free to choose where to buy the material.
For those who have a "conventional" printer, which doesn't necessarily need to be multi-material.
The Nicer Purge Bin isn't exclusive to the H2D and can be used with X1 and P1 series printers.
In that case, if you don't have a laser cutting machine, you can print the pieces in TPU, as soft as possible - 95A would be ideal, or even softer (parts on the print profile). The remaining components are processed the same way. Since none of the pieces have multiple colors, you can print without difficulties without AMS.
Would love to see your builds and hear your thoughts! What do you think?#MakerCommunity #NiceThings #WorkspaceAesthetics(Edited)
