Fully desk Clamp for Hållbar Bin

This simple and basic model started with a personal need: I wanted a small bin under my desk to throw away anything that didn’t work, as well as supports and scraps from my printers. This clamp works perfectly around my fully desk (legs are 50x80mm) to support the Ikea Hållbar Bin (the smaller one, 3L). My starting point was from a bracket designed by EPIQ3D, but I wasn’t happy with hanging the bin on the wall or drilling holes into my desk leg.

I initially tried printing this clamp as one single piece, experimenting with layers and variations to test durability, flexibility, and, most importantly, resistance. Unfortunately, I failed several times. In the end, I decided to split the model into two pieces and secure them together using M3 screws and knurled brass nuts. It worked perfectly, and I’ve been able to remove (to empty) and reattach it several times over the past two weeks without any issues.

You can find two versions of this clamp: one with the main holes in front of the bracket, and the other with holes on top, so you can choose whichever you prefer :-) 

Let me know if you like it and how it works for you ;-)
 

Also, you will need some extra hardware:

• Knurled Brass Nuts (M3 Threaded Insert), qty. 6
• M3x14 SHCS, qty. 2
• M3x18 SHCS, qty. 1
