This was my first project in CAD / Onshape, made from scratch.
The goal was simple, make a fun and easy to print Recycling box for the batteries.
It prints in 3 parts to make it easy to print without any supports and make it possible for those who want to print it in different colors. Just Assemble the Lid and the Top together with some glue.
The hole at the top is the same diameter as those you find on “Recupel” battery recycling boxes here in belgium, so it's easy to judge if the batteries in it are allowed in the normal recycling points found at stores and other public places.
Size:
Diameter 120mm
Hole diameter 45mm
Feel Free to tinker with it yourself, and make your own using Onshape. Here is the Model!
Please let me know if there are any tolerance issues.
The Base and Top can just be printed as modeled.
However the lid May need to be flipped to avoid any overhangs.
It's recommended to print the base in a stronger material such as ABS/ASA/PETG
