1993 Ford E350 Door Handles

thingiverse

I recently purchased a used 1993 Ford E350, and it lacked door handles altogether. I visited my local junkyard to acquire some handles, but they demanded an arm and a leg for each one. I also checked eBay, only to find the same outrageous prices. So, I decided to create temporary handles until I could find suitable replacements. This pattern is designed specifically for the driver's side door; simply mirror it in your printer software to produce a matching handle for the passenger's side. However, these makeshift handles turned out so well that I'm now planning to refine and make them permanent fixtures. Please stay tuned for updates on this project. As of March 22, 2019, I've successfully designed a more robust handle that not only covers up the door but also conceals the screw mounts. I've completed the new handle, which boasts impressive strength thanks to its 35% infill compared to the original's 70%. While this temporary solution may not be aesthetically pleasing, it should serve as a reliable replacement until I can acquire genuine handles or redesign a more sophisticated one.
