i developed a couple designs for 3d printed file handles after winning an auction for 6 pristine, 6" NOS mill files.
the handles are simple and contain 35% plastic, printed standing on end.
each handle takes about 45 minutes on my Ender5
without further delay, the photographic evidence!
i used the brim setting for attachment to the plate. it left a slight rim on the handle, that looks fuzzy.
the first design is tapered, the second design (not pictured) is a straight handle.
i'll be testing the handles over the coming weeks.
on preliminary tests, the handles appear to be tough enough for my heavy hands!
thanks for reading!
