## Recommendations
For best results, use a version of OpenSCAD with the fast-csg feature. As of writing, this feature is only implemented in the [development snapshots](https://openscad.org/downloads.html). To enable the feature, go to Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg. On my computer, this sped up rendering from 10 minutes down to a couple of seconds, even for comically large bins.
## External libraries
- `threads-scad` (https://github.com/rcolyer/threads-scad) is used for creating threaded holes, and is included in this project under `external/threads-scad/threads.scad`.
## Enjoy!
