Swing-Top Waste Receptacle – Print-in-Place, No Supports

This is a compact swing-top waste receptacle designed for simple, reliable printing and everyday use. The model features a captive, self-centering swing lid that is fully integrated into the body and prints in place, eliminating the need for assembly.

The internal geometry has been carefully designed so that no supports are required when the model is printed lid-down. Overhangs are self-supporting, ensuring a clean print and smooth lid movement straight off the build plate.
