## Steps
|
|
### Step 1: Prepare materials
|
|
|
|
Prepare materials as per the bin's dimensions and design.
|
|
|
|
For this project:
|
|
|
|
- 30x30 mm (1.18x1.18 in) aluminum tube, 935 mm (36.81 in), x8
|
|
- 30x30 mm (1.18x1.18 in) aluminum tube, 316 mm (12.44 in), x8
|
|
- 30x30 mm (1.18x1.18 in) aluminum tube, 300 mm (11.81 in), x12
|
|
- Corner fixing clips, x50
|
|
- Corner fixing plates, x50
|
|
- Legs, x8

|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Assemble the frame
|
|
|
|
Assemble the frame using corner fixing clips, leaving corners free for panel installation later.

|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Mount the panels
|
|
|
|
After completing the frame, attach the panel using screws and corner fixing plates.
|
|
|
|
We use 12 mm (0.47 inch) thick polypropylene sheets and employ CNC milling to achieve the required shapes.

|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Legs and doors
|
|
|
|
Attach legs to the bin's bottom for stability on uneven floors.
|
|
|
|
Finally, install the doors with hinges and add locks or magnets to secure them.
