Is this the most ridiculous use of a 3D printer? Probably not, but it feels like it. When the molded hinge pin on our newer-model Diaper Genie snapped, the available replacement lids to 3D print did not fit. I saw a dad on r/daddit fix his with a golf tee, and challenge accepted.

It might be a small fix, but it works flawlessly and saved a perfectly good pail from a landfill.

Installation Options:

  • Drill & Press-Fit: If you have enough material left, clean up the break area, drill a 3/16" hole, and press the pin through for a tight friction fit.

  • Adhesive Bond: If the hinge pin snapped flush or tore out, use Loctite Plastic Bonding System to secure it in place.

Print Settings:

  • Material: PETG
    Infill: 100%
