Artillery Sidewinder X1 Handle - Rigid

thingiverse

I was fed up with the limited flexibility of the Artillery Sidewinder X1's handles, so I took matters into my own hands and designed a new one myself. When printing this design, you'll need to support both the handle part and the section that connects to the base plate. To do this, completely loosen the front two leveling knobs, lift the plate, and slide the handle over the base plate support structure. I aimed for tight tolerances to boost stiffness, but you might need to extend the Z-Axis by a few percent if it's too snug over the base plate support. For optimal results, I suggest printing with more outlines and less infill. My personal preference is 4 outlines and 20% infill (S3D Full Honeycomb). If you have any suggestions for this design, they would be greatly appreciated. This design should print smoothly in PLA, PETG, or ABS (or even Nylon if you're feeling adventurous). Due to the insulated layer separating it from the heat plate, I'm confident that the handle will remain flexible and resistant to bending, even when printed with PLA.
