Bag Filler Quart size

Description

This Stand Holds A Quart Bag Open While You Fill It. Fold The Top Of The Bag Over About An Inch To Hold The Bag On There. This Thing Works Pretty Well, And It'S A Real Convenience When You Need To Bag A Lot Of Meal Sized Portions, Particularly Liquids Like Soup. I Use It Here On A Large Pot Of Chicken Cacciatore. Another Photo Shows It Holding A Quart Of Plain Water. These Standard Size (Walmart) Quart Bags Actually Hold About 5 Cups. The Stand Is Kinda Thick And Bulky, But It Is Stable And Strong. I Couldn'T Figure Out How To Make It Fold For Storage, But It Disassembles Easily And The 5 Parts Fit In A Quart Bag. My Attempts To Design One That Would Hold Both Quart And Gallon Bags Were Not Successful. I May Get The Urge To Do One For Gallon Bags, But I Don'T Use A Lot Of Them And Doubt It'S Worth The Trouble. This One Might Simply Be Scaled Up To Gallon-Size, But I Haven'T Tried That. [Update: I Frequently Use The "Sous Vide" Cooking Method And Discovered That Instead Of Expensive Vacuum Bagging, The Plain Gallon Zipper Bags Can Often Be Used. So I Made The Gallon Version Of This Bag Filler. Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1960297] The "Top" Took About 56 Minutes, 28 Grams, And A Single "Foot" Needed About 28 Minutes 14 Grams Abs. I Recall Needing 2 Prints To Get All The Parts Printed On A 5X5 Afinia Build Plate. The Printed Legs May Be A Very Tight Fit. Use Some Sandpaper On Both Ends Of The Legs To Get A Smooth Sliding Fit. It'S Only A Print, And Something Will Break If It Is Stressed Too Much. There'S No Need For Things To Be Tight. Gravity Holds It Together. Metric Files Provided.
