Garbage bag holder clips - use grocery store bags

thingiverse

OK, this is for you folks out there who are too cheap to use regular tall kitchen trash bags and instead like to stretch grocery store plastic bags over your trash can opening. You know who you are! I wouldn't care about this but my girlfriend is one of them (you) and this just drives me nuts. Every time I go to throw something away the bag either slips off the trash can or the tossed item misses and goes to the bottom and I have to fish it out and then delicately place it in the grocery bag. These simple clips are designed to hold the grocery bag a little more securely to mitigate some of these issues. The grocery bag simply slips on and off but the pegs are on an angle to help retain it. Use some double sided mounting tape to stick these in the corners of your trash can. You can also poke a couple holes in the trash can and drill a couple holes in these clips and use zip ties to help hold them in place. I applied a little 5 minute epoxy around the base of the pegs since 3D printed objects like this don't have the greatest layer strength and the pegs on a couple of my prototypes broke off. They are probably strong enough as printed but you know sometime someone will bump them...
