When my trashcan’s hinges broke, it will be a while before I can buy a replacement, (we are not suppose to go out, not unless absolutely necessary, COVID-19 thingi) .. Well, what do we do like all of us here?, we start making a 3d-printed replacement part. This is not a pretty or technically challenge part but you know what? It works! I left the connecting part of the hinges to the cover without hole so that you are free to drill them, together to make it easier. Pick the size or position you like. The clamps are measured with some gaps to allow free movement.
Loop Screws: #6 X 2in, w/ nut (M3 X50mm)
Cover Screws: #12 X 1in w/ nut (M6 X 25mm)
I printed with PLA but will be printing with ABS for durability.
Enjoy.
