Description
It's a Trash Bag Holder!
I tried a few, but they didn't quite do what I wanted. Some were too short, some were huge, most had a slot that was way too big so when you get to the last few bags they all fall out instead of just 1.

Big Update, I had some time to work on it this week, so I made a few modifications. The basic geometry is unchanged, but the big difference is a recessed snap ring inside the cylinder and a variety of snap in lids.
And also a larger size for bigger trash bags.
The new snap in lids hold strong enough to be placed upside down, if you prefer. I tested a variety of snap ring sizes, I'll upload the profile for all of them in case you want to try a different one. The one that snaps the full circumference of the lid holds the strongest! Although, my favorite is the one with a thumb ramp on the front, and snap in surfaces on the sides.
I printed all these green ones in PETG HF, they turned out great, and are more flexible than PLA. I did one in PLA also, it's slightly snappier, if anything an even more secure hold on the lid. I imagine most filaments will work fine.

Let me know if there's anything that could be improved.

Update: Added cad files for a couple of requested modifications, I'm away from my printer for some months so they are available in the files section.
Enjoy!
