BINRIMS — Wheelie Bin Rims
Multi-piece, 3D printed rim kit for a standard wheelie bin—styled after popular car wheel designs. Modular assembly mirrors real automotive wheels for realistic proportions and detailing.
Overview
BINRIMS is a playful product concept: multi-piece 3D printed rims for a standard wheelie bin, inspired by real car wheel designs so the bin can match the build. The rims are designed as an assembly like actual wheels, enabling accurate proportions, realistic detailing, and flexible styling/colour variants. The multipart approach also makes printing and finishing easier than a single monolithic part.
