I needed a trash can for my solder waste. I had two requirements:
- when I bump into it and it falls from my workbench, I want it to close itself to prevent spilling the contents on the floor (and from there into the cat's fur)
- when I move my soldering rig out of my way it should close itself
I printed everything from PLA. See the images for assembly. You probably will have to tinker with the spring and the size of the support holding the lid open until it suits your needs. You also need something heavy as weight for the pendulum.
