Description

This is a functional municipal trash barrel with articulated lid and rolling wheels.

There are three raised text ("MESA RECYCLES" on the side and "Jeremy" on the front), to change them start with the Fusion 360 Archive file.

Printed in Matterhackers PLA.

Support is needed for the lid (printed upside down with the top on the build plate). Also need support for the barrel (printed standing up). The wheels do not need supports.

I have best luck with supports using 0.3mm Z contact distance (0.25mm can work, depending on the filament).  Less than that and it is often difficult to remove.

The lid has fairly tight tolerances, I've had best luck printing the lid and wheels with 0.1mm layer. 0.15mm for everything else.  0.15mm layer height can work, the biggest issue are the bumps for the lid hinge.

The wheels are identical.  They are pressed over the axles, the end of the axles might need to be filed slightly.  The axles themselves are smaller than the cap on the end of the axle, allowing the wheels to spin.  The wheels are also PLA, but in black.
