Clamp Handle for saw fence - parametric with a bit of bodgeing

thingiverse

My low-cost band saw's plastic handle on the fence clamp broke after only two uses, so I 3D printed a replacement. I used ABS filament for printing at 15% infill, but next time I would increase it to 30%. A fan is necessary to prevent overheating during printing. The new handle fit well, except for the slightly thicker tip, which was actually an improvement due to better design. The old handle broke because of poor design and improper bolt flange placement. I simply sanded the corners and adjusted the bolt flanges for a perfect fit. Instead of using a spring steel pin, I opted for a 3mm filament, which worked just fine. Now my DIY replacement is even better than the original! Just a side note: I need to standardize the variable names related to axes in my models.
