This is a spindle insert for canvas doggie waste bag roll carrier. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 10% diamond (fast) Post-Printing The square hole on the second piece is smaller than the square end on the axle so that each piece can filed down for a tight friction fit. (This has worked well for a few weeks of daily walks, but if it proves to wear and loosen it will be redesigned to include a detent so it will “click” in place.) We printed this in Makerbot "True White" PLA. How I Designed This I used Autodesk 123DDesign to create this print model. Custom Section The canvas bags that attach to a walking leash with a hook-and-loop strap are lightweight, strong and very convenient. However when pulling out a bag through the slot in the side of the carrier, sometimes the roll jams against the inside of the bag. This spindle insert is keeps the roll from jamming. The spindle is printed in two parts. After the roll is inserted on the part with the axle, the second piece is placed onto the open end. The spindle is sized to fit tightly in the canvas carrier. Once the roll is installed on the spindle, we’ve found that the easiest way to install the spindle is to place one end inside the carrier and then press on the other side of the spindle to stretch the carrier so that the other side of the spindle slips into place.
