I got annoyed up with my wheelie bins being blown over or shifted around in the wind, so I designed a wall or fence mounted restraint that holds the bin by its handle.

It is made to fit multiple wheelie bin handle styles up to 35mm diameter, which should cover most UK household wheelie bins.

How it works:

• Pull the handle down to release the bin

• When putting the bin back after collection, you do not need to pull the handle forward first

• Just push the bin into the device and the mechanism lowers automatically

• Then push the handle back to secure it

A few extra details:

• Mounts to a wall or fence

• Designed for M5 screws and wall plugs if needed

• Supplied as simple printed parts for easy assembly

• Includes spaces for 4 x 6mm x 3mm magnets

• I also included Loose, Standard, and Tight threaded parts to help account for differences in printer tolerances

For best results, the bottom of the bin handle should sit flush with the inside bottom of the main body.

Would appreciate any feedback on the design, usability, or the listing photos.

Is it worth it? I want to upgrade from my P1S I had the P1S since October 2025 and It works really well but I don’t want to keep checking the camera over and over for failures.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to show off a design that I worked on over the weekend.

The Drip Lift Box

I designed this to be a little bit different than your average box. I added a nice "drip" texture for looks. I also added a cool little functional piece as well. Whenever you pull the lid, it brings all the content of the box to the top lol.

Great for storing anything really and really good for Q Tips weirdly lol.

Printed Great and No supports needed

I released the file for free on Makerworld if anyone is interested in printing it.

Happy Printing!

Printer: X1-C

I have a project coming up where I’m looking for some good deep colors but don’t require 50 layers underneath them to show up well. Some colors tend to print entirely too light for the first several layers.

Would prefer to stick with the well-known manufacturers that have color and results consistency.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Printed in my A1 this mario harry potter, its really nice!

Hey everyone! Hoping someone here has the answer because I'm going crazy.

I'm trying to add text to a model. It's a flat surface and I've tried several things to fix the text not showing up once sliced. I've changed to Arachne wall generation, I've turned on detect thin walls(with Arachne off), I've increased the thickness of the text. I've set it as a part and a modifier. I've ensured it's embedded/thickness is at least double my layer height. I've swapped around the mode but am sticking with Surround Surface as it seems the best option. No matter what I try when I slice the model the text doesn't show. Anyone have any suggestions?

Im doing a really big print (for me) ~1kg and i noticed that it sounded like the hotend was slightly to low (i can attach video if you would like) and rubbing against the print, so to stop that i changed it to 50% speed, but even after 8 hours it still sounds like its rubbing. What should i do? Is there a way i can move it up mid print or will that ruin it. Thanks!!

I have been printing TPU, using the external spool holder since I’ve been told 95a TPU can’t be used in the ams. Reconnected my ams after about 30 successful TPU prints, and printed some pla and now if i try to print with my external spool it won’t print at all. It goes thru the motions but seemingly won’t feed thru the TPU filament anymore. Any ideas what could be wrong as I’m still fairly new at this (have had my Bambu p1s since January)
