it would save me raising the bottom plate upward and mean the bag wouldn't crumple on the base plate
you dont need the taper, it doesnt matter if the bag touches the bottom plate. if you think about how rubbing happens, the flexing bag scraping back and forth past a stationary part, that isnt what happens on the bottom plate. the bag rolls down onto the plate, no rubbing at all.
