This is my take on the cup holder trash bin for cars.
I designed it specifically for my Mini Cooper SE, with a mini logo of course, but given it's such a small car, i would imagine it should fit most other car's cup holders. I have also included a lid with a Bambu logo (shown as the cover picture), and a plain lid with no logo if you want to add your own.
I took inspiration from an amazon listing that I liked (I'm sure you can find the same design on AliExpress, Temu etc. and it's likely from the exact same manufacturer lol).
however, in order to achieve the tilted top, and keep the lid self closing, i would have to incorporate a spring mechanism of some sort, which seemed overly complicated, so I ended up with a flat design, but still able to make the lid self closing, and here's how.
I basically used Bambu's studio's “cut” function, and created three pieces of the lid. the while portion is necessary to retain the integrity of the top (showing) surface, otherwise, you'll see a line in the middle. then the green / black pieces are separated so I can use different infill %, resulting one side of the lid being heavier than the other, ultimately achieving the self closing mechanism.
if you intend to use the plain lid and add your own logo, make sure you follow these steps to achieve the self-closing effect (or please share if you have a better way to achieve different % of infill on the same model)
