Garbage Can Handle

This is a simple handle for your garbage can lid. Seems like garbage can manufacturer have gotten so cheap now that thy won't even put a handle on the garbage can lid!

The handle is easy to print and made to fit comfortably in your handle. I've placed two M5 nuts inside the print (using a "pause printing" command). The printer simply stops printing at the proper height so I can add the two nuts in the part. The print then continues to the end.

You'll get a handle (with nuts inside) and two "posts" to hold the M5 x 20 bolts. You then drill two holes on the garbage can lid/cover to let the bolts pass through.

Torque the two bolts properly and you've got yourself a nice handle on your garbage can lid, making it easier (and less messy) to open.

Enjoy!

P.S. I've included the SolidWorks 2020 files should you want to make some changes.
