Re: help with a bin cage?
with great difficulty lol
My house mate used a stanley knife and carefully scored the circle.. then after about an hour there was finally a hole!
You have to be verrrrrrry careful as it is very easy to split the plastic.

Re: help with a bin cage?
Your going to need to reinforce the plastic on one side so it doesn't flex so much, which will make for easier cutting.
Your best off asking your dad.. he may have a drill bit that will do it in 5 seconds lol

Re: help with a bin cage?
If you have a dremel, you can get these circle cutter things which'd probably work..it's not worth buying these things just for the bin cage, but if your dad is handy, he may have them.
Or you could use a soldering iron, or something hot to heat the plastic and melt a hole
which I think some people on here have done

Re: help with a bin cage?
Just make sure you dont try to rush. You will need to take all the time it needs
