Collapsible luggage handle

thingiverse

Our executives attend numerous trade shows, resulting in extended periods spent interacting with airport staff - security personnel and luggage handlers alike. In this instance, the latter exerted too much force, causing the suitcase handle to snap cleanly off. The brand of suitcase remains unknown, but this design can be easily modified to suit your specific needs. It may not be a universal solution, but it should provide valuable inspiration for creating your own custom parts. Print Settings: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.125-0.25mm Infill: 50% - 2-3mm shell thickness Notes: Hinges require minimal infill due to the high shell thickness, which provides near-solid results. The handle also benefits from limited infill (50% may be excessive) but demands a high shell thickness to ensure the bolts' entry point remains solid, representing the primary stress point.
