2. Hold the Cylinder in the hole with the thread sticking out.
3. Mount the Clip around the bag and Cylinder base
4. Screw the Lid on

Print instructions

It prints easy and can print with default values. There are some tips though to make it better.

• Supports: No - the print-in-place hinge prints without supports!
• Walls/perimeters: 3-5 - the more walls, the stronger but more filament is used - so test a see what you find the best.
• Infill: The more infil, the stronger it will be. Mostly needed on the longer Clip versions.

Happy printing!
