Print 4 of these brackets, mirror 2, for symmetry if you like, I didn't shrug
I printed slow with PETG and thick walls. You want this to be relatively strong, PLA should work fine. Align the outer corner chamfer to your print bed so you don't need supports
Go to freedom spec home improvement store
Purchase 1-2x .75"x1.5" boards. They should be like $2 each for 8' lengths
You'll need to cut them so you have 4 upright posts, their length will determine the hieght of your hamper. Reference your laundry bags or buy laundry bags since you'll need those.
The Build
- Measure the width from side to side of your laundry bags
- subtract let's say 3" from the previous measurement
- come up with a length + width of your hamper that's equivalent to the number from your previous calculation
- Make cuts to achieve:
- 4x upright beams
- 2x width beams
- 2x length beams
- Sand your wood if you want it to be nice. (I used an orbital sander with 120G)
- Assemble your bits
- Glue it if you want
- Success!!
I would recommend checking fitment on your first bracket and scale a bit if needed for a snug fit without glue, I didn't use glue and mine holds together fine and breaks down quickly if needed.
When you buy wood try to pick boards that have the same dimensions, mine varied significantly, but I guess that's what you get for $2 for 8' boards, I just shaved the oversized board down to fit my print with a rasp.
