Kohler 47L Step Trash Bin - Toe Shield

Have you ever noticed that tricky pinch point near the foot pedal of the Kohler 47L pedal-operated garbage can? If you're a parent, you probably have, especially with little ones around. After a few too many close calls and toe-pinching incidents with my own kids, I decided it was time to tackle the problem.

Introducing my 3D-printed toe protector – a simple yet effective solution designed to fit seamlessly with the Kohler 47L garbage can. This nifty attachment serves as a barrier, preventing those tiny toes from getting caught in the pinch point. What's unique about it is that it maintains the sleek style of the garbage can while providing an essential safety feature.

I know firsthand how easily children can accidentally push down the lid, causing the foot pedal to snap back faster and stronger, intensifying the pinch point pressure. Instead of giving up on the garbage can altogether, I opted for a proactive approach.

Having seen these Kohler 47L garbage cans in various big box stores, I figured I couldn't be the only one dealing with this issue. So, I wanted to share this solution with others who might be facing the same challenge.
