Dog Bag Dispenser for Flexi Leash

Update (9/19/22): Uploaded a revised base with a thinner clip after some feedback that it was too wide. 

Update (7/11/22): I added the STEP file since someone requested it to make changes to the original. 

I was a big fan of the Tough/Strong Bag Dispenser by bandslinger and used it for some time until I bought a Flexi Dog leash. I preferred the idea of having the dispenser slot into the bottom of the leash instead of dangling on a hook.

I tried luguina's container, but it did not fit my Flexi leash, the tab was about 1-2mm too large for the opening.

So, I essentially combined the two designs, using the Tough Bag Dispenser as the starting point. Thankfully bandslinger uploaded the STEP file, so it was very easy for me to modify. In addition to adding the Flexi hook, I made the following changes:

1. I cleaned up the male and female threads, they just abruptly stopped on the original design, so I added lead in for the threads.
2. Removed the loop/axle part.
3. Integrated the axle into the body.
4. Used the geometry from the Flexi hook, but made it thinner so it fit the leash body.

Notes: I used this color for a quick prototype, but it came out fairly well. The first couple layers still had some remnants of black in the nozzle, hence the darker shade. I'll likely reprint it in black PETG down the road.
