5G Bucket Gap Filler

thingiverse

The 5 Gallon Bucket handle by CdoubleU worked very well except if the handle spun just right when you lifted, the handle would snap off the bucket. This piece is designed to snap into the gap after it is on the wire of the bucket. I found it easiest to rotate the handle so the gap is up. The slide the gap filler INSIDE the handle about 1/2 way and align the piece (narrow side up) so that it is covering the gap. I then used a screwdriver to slip in the handle gap and lift up on the gap filler to snap it into place. I kept pushing up as I pushed the gap filler all the way in. Once it is pushed in it will snap into place. Sketchup file included to allow modifications as desired.
