This is a workable trash can that fits a t-shirt grocery store bag.  When I increased it's size from Handy Handcrafts original, https://www.printables.com/model/713165-galvanized-trash-can the it failed at the sharp corners along the top and bottom after some use.  This remix makes the trash can thicker and it seems to be holding up well.  I used lightning fill on the can bottom and gyroid in the walls.

I also remixed the lid so that it is flat on the bottom with groove to fit the can.  Handy Handcrafts original lid worked fine with the supports, but this doesn't use much more filament if you use lightning fill versus even organic supports.  The handle prints fine without supports.  If you want to use the original lid, scale it up 250

Update: My handle broke off after a couple of weeks so I've added a lid with a sturdier handle.  I is attached with a gusset to the lid and I used gyroid infill at the connections.
