This small and exquisite storage box is designed to cherish your most precious treasures! Its compact and delicate size perfectly fits into the palm of your hand, allowing you to easily store all kinds of precious items. Adding fun doodles with colorful markers and 3D-printed designs makes it feel like it's been "brought to life" in the streets and alleys, brimming with a lively vibe. This trash can features modular printing, with all components requiring no support structures. Simply add a little glue during assembly to secure them in place. Simonkangiser

The process of printing this trash can is quite simple and intuitive. Due to its small overall size, it is recommended to add a "edge reinforcement layer" to the wheels and crossbars during printing to enhance the structural stability. If the model name is preceded by a number, it indicates that the corresponding number of parts need to be printed.
When attaching the wheels in place, pay attention to the slightly slanted cylindrical protrusion on the wheel axle, whose flat side perfectly fits into the groove at the bottom of the trash can. A closer look at the model file will make it clear - the wheels can be successfully inserted into the holes in the can body from any direction, but if the flat side on the wheel axle is aligned with the groove at the bottom of the can, the installation of the wheels will be more stable and smooth. To add a sense of detail, I also inserted a sewing needle into the wheel axle
Each sleeve is printed in a flat manner, and the three parts should be as cohesive as possible. The plastic material between the sleeves acts as a hinge, allowing you to easily fold the parts into the desired shape. Bend the parts one by one and fix them on both sides of the trash can respectively.
The hinge part can slide along the top of the trash can and snap into place above the corner protective cover. To ensure a smoother connection between the hinge and the crossbar, it may be necessary to properly ream the holes on the hinge and polish them into a round shape. Finally, install the cover plate in place and then pass the crossbar through the reserved holes between the cover plate and the trash can body. I dripped a little glue on the buckle where the crossbar contacts the corner of the trash can to secure it firmly. If you prefer, you can also use a piece
I've also attached a schematic diagram of the finished product. Initially, I only made the cover and wheels for this sculpture, and the rest of the main body was made of metal materials. Later, I had a sudden inspiration and decided to 3D print the entire trash can just for fun! I hope you'll enjoy this creative "street art" - Instagram: Simonarri
