YATB – Yet Another Trash Bin (AD5M / AD5X Side Bin)

YATB – Yet Another Trash Bin

A compact side-mounted trash bin for the Flashforge AD5M and AD5X.

It provides a convenient place to collect prime lines, purge lines, filament scraps, failed first layers, and other small printing waste instead of letting them accumulate inside or around the printer.

Simple, unobtrusive, and always within reach.

Mounting Options

The bin can be used on both enclosed and open-frame AD5 printers.

Enclosed AD5M / AD5X

The enclosed version takes advantage of the small gap between the side frame and the glass panel.

The integrated tab slides into this gap, holding the bin securely without any additional hardware or adhesives.

For a permanent installation, you can optionally add a small piece of double-sided tape, although it's generally not necessary.

Open-Frame AD5M

Since the open-frame version has no side glass, there is no gap to lock the tab into.

In this configuration, simply attach the bin using a small piece of double-sided tape.

Using only a small strip makes it easy to remove the bin later for cleaning or emptying.

About the "Yet Another..." Series

The Yet Another... series is a collection of practical models created to solve everyday problems in my own workflow.

Most of these ideas already exist in one form or another—but I couldn't find one that worked exactly the way I wanted. So I designed my own.

If you find these models useful, feel free to check out the rest of the series.
