If you - like me - got caught a little unaware that XL firmware now lowers the print bed to the bottom of the printer, requiring Tall Print Mode to be continously enabled, you know that Prusicles must now find a new home. Together with snips and shears, old spools, failed prints, half a sandwich and a few bits and pieces for the CNC.
This is two flexible garbage bag holders, to be screwed into the platform you XL is standing on. They keep the bag stretched so it is easy to put flat objects into - prusicles, filament cutoffs, failed first layers and the like.
Print in PETG for the right level of flexibility. The provided render is for 3 mm screws - 4 mm wood screws would probably work fine as well, but if you need 4 mm mount holes, set M3 = false in the OpenSCAD script.
If you want to mount them directly to the printer, there is also a version for the t-slot. In the source, that is controlled by setting TSlot to true/false.
A note on provenance: I once saw a model that was aimed at solving the same problem - 3D printing generates very flat waste, so why not have a bag holder that holds the bag as a long line that can be mounted on an edge close to the printer. I didn't print it back then, or bookmark it, and I can't find it now either. But I want you to know that I was inspired by (stole the general idea from) somebody else.
And if you are that somebody else, please drop me a line so that I can credit you properly.
