Broom Handle

thingiverse

I finally got fed up with stabbing my hand on the sharp metal end of our kitchen broom's handle, which had been broken for some time. I decided to do something about it and came up with a solution using 3D printing. The original model of the handle is 1 inch in diameter, so I used that as a starting point. However, it was a bit too loose on my broomstick, leaving some wiggle room for rotation. To fix this issue, I applied super glue to the gap before securely attaching the handle. I then created a revised version with a larger inner shaft, still tapered at one end but slightly tighter than the original model. Unfortunately, it was a bit too snug for my broomstick, which might be due to its deformed tip. Perhaps someone else can benefit from this design or make adjustments as needed. Printing Settings: Printer: Original Prusa i3 MK2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20% Notes: To assemble the model, simply rotate it so that it stands upright, as it may export on its side for some reason. Post-Printing: The outer shell of the handle is a bit fragile until it's securely attached to a broomstick. My four-year-old accidentally broke my first attempt at printing it, but adding glue in between the gap should provide a more permanent solution.
