Large Wall-Mounted Bin with Smooth Curves

This is my design for a large, edge-mounted bin with a clean and minimal aesthetic. I wanted to create something that looks sleek but is still practical to print and use. The front of the bin flows smoothly thanks to tangent-based curves in both the horizontal and vertical directions, giving it a soft, organic appearance. In contrast, the back is straight and purpose-built for wall or edge mounting. I added vertical grooves on the rear to help prevent warping during printing—especially important for a model of this size.

My goal was to design a functional container that looks good on a wall or shelf edge, prints easily without supports, and doesn't warp, even when printed in PETG. The original design includes side mounts intended for 10 mm magnet cubes—admittedly an uncommon choice. To make the model more accessible, I’ve included two alternative versions: one with standard screw mounting holes, and another “blank” version you can easily modify to suit your setup.

I know this is quite a specific design—not something you’d print on a whim due to its size—but I’m sharing it anyway in case it fits a need in your workshop, kitchen, or studio.

Print Guidelines

The bin is designed to print upright without any supports. I’ve had successful results using both PETG and PLA, and the model holds up well in both materials.

Dimensions

Refer to the drawing above, which shows Variant A (the screw-mount version). All three versions share the same outer dimensions; they only differ in how the two side attachment points are shaped.

The photo shows the bin made from the Extrudr PLA NX2 “epic purple” filament. It was printed on a Prusa XL at a layer height of 0.25mm using the structural profile.
