Description
This is a dog poop bag container that clips onto average round rope style leashes for dispensing bags from a roll. Many of these are of similar size/shape, but this one is designed specifically to hold Earth Rated bag rolls like the ones pictured here and linked below. Feel free to comment if it fits another brand of bags, or let me know the dimensions of your roll if it does not fit and I'll be happy to make additional versions that accommodate those as well.

I recommend printing this in TPU.
*** MK2 Version now available for round leashes (~9-12mm diameter). Flat leash style sizes coming soon. Please feel free to leave a comment with any leash size requests or additional features you'd like to see.
The MK2 dispenser features a twist lock top with a new twist reel for rewinding unused bags back on the roll, a wider front dispensing hole for easier bag access, and a sloped top to help reduce the carrier from being knocked off inadvertently.
NOTES:
Be sure to thoroughly clean/trim/smooth any uneven spots on the reel's round surface on the side and the track at the bottom of the body to ensure it turns smoothly.
Because TPU has a tendency to be a bit grippy, I recommend putting a small amount of lubricant (e.g., Super Lube or some other synthetic grease) to prevent the reel from binding.
While not required, I would recommend using a small amount of CA or other adhesive in the peg holes to prevent them from coming out later.
Inserting the reel into the body should be done from the inside out, with the bottom peg facing up inside the body. It is a tight fit and may take some effort, but TPU is flexible and will have enough give if you angle it slightly to fit it into the track at the bottom and work your way around the perimeter. I recommend using something long with a flat or rounded end to help apply pressure as you work it into the track, especially if the peg is glued into place prior to inserting the bottom reel.
