I need the lid of this trash can to be able to rotate fairly

get some actual bearings and then put them along the edge

A bearing.
Alternatively some sort of grease.
Also alternatively two rings of some low friction material like Teflon, but I guess that's basically a bearing anyway.

>>1048485
get an R2D2 and transfer the insides to the trash can so you can rotate its head while you rotate the can

>>1048485
drill holes in the sliding surface and insert ball bearings and oil/grease

Add a lazy Susan.

My only concern with 'add bearings' come when you have to take the lid off and they all fall out.

Even one ring of teflon would probably do the trick. Get a disposable teflon non-stick BBQ mat and cut out a ring (or two) to fit the rim of the lid.

OP, why do you want a trashcan shaped like a dildo? You are far too ambitious, sir!

Maybe your thinking to hard about moving the top. Why not use one of those spinner things on the bottom and rotate the whole bin not just the top.

>I need the lid of this trash can to be able to rotate fairly easily, as if it had bearings. Can you help to come up with a simple and hopefully cheap way to achieve this?
Not without knowing what the edges of the two pieces looks like up close.
Also I'd want to know how it is going to get spun.
Is this a Halloween costume? Or are you using a motor in there to spin it, like a robot?

This is why it usually helps if you fucking mongoloid OPs actually describe the problem you're trying to solve instead of strictly asking for advice on whatever retarded solution you've come up with on your own.

Pointless

seat ball transfer units flush with the plastic between the overlapping parts of the lid and body

Why not just put a layer of PTFE tape along the mating edges?

One of those bearing rings that sit under the rotating base in a microwave come to mind.
Plenty of dead ones around for the salvage but you may have trouble finding the size you want without re-tooling.
