Description
I got sick and tired of the trash bags falling into the bin when they got filled so I printed out a bunch of different existing designs to try them out. Unfortunately, none of them worked very well for me: they were too loose and did not grip the trash bag well or had a sharp end and would tear the bag.
Thus, I created these. One with a small hoop at the top, one with a medium sized hoop and one with a large hoop depending on the size or your trashcan lip. I also made a grooved design so that it would grip but not tear the bag.
The version V1.2 and V2.3 have the hoop off center. I realized most trash bins have the lip only in one direction and one side is flush, so having the hoop centered was not helpful (I also uploaded my earlier, centered versions just in case you need them labeled "center" in .stl filename).
I printed these models in both PLA and PETG with standard settings and 0.2mm layer heights and they both function well when paired with a trash bin with the appropriate size lip.
