Description
Needed a replacement handle for my garbage can handle as it snapped in half recently. This replacement has been in use for a few weeks now and seems to hold a heavy load without issue. Really love when 3D printing can rescue things from the garbage, even the garbage can itself.
Printed in PETG with 4-5 perimeters and 30% infill. Cap end was attached with m5 threaded insert and bolt.
Update: created a version with printed threads on the caps and handle so no need for brass inserts. Prints without supports in the orientation as shown below.
