    Self checkouts never seem to fit the bags I bring in. And I bought them at the very same store.

      Ya they made them plastic bag width but also the length of the plate. You’re either hanging off the edge or squished. So mildly annoying

        Yup. Back to the original post, have you thought about 3d printing a hangar to just temporarily put on the shopping cart? I was thinking about designing something real quick.

          Great idea! That would be really easy to bring with. I’m gonna design one as well though I’d love to see yours too!

          Did you know I print or just suggest it? Just curious

            I have a 3d printer and it was the first thing I thought of. Had no idea you could do the same.

            Here is what I came up with. This should just hook onto the top of the cart. https://imgur.com/zgbTrOs

                That looks good too. On mine I was just thinking about hooking that little loop that is in the center. Yours would work for the handle.

              Nice! Right on some prints were the first thing I posted so I was curious. I think I’m gonna go for something a bit wider than a hook. Maybe a bar around 12/14 cm so it doesn’t sway

            Hey everybody, look at mr fancy pants over here! My bags did not come with any sort of fastening device, and besides, that’s why I own a 3d printer. To solve problems like this.
