Comandante C40 Grinder Alternative Handles

cults3d

As fanboys know, the best hand grinder on the planet has some alternative handles like Big Joe or skateboard versions. Big Joe is not my thing, I don't like to hold on to big things while grinding, but I needed some better grip and easier shape to hold on to; so I designed two cylindrical handles and one Big Joe sized handle for printing. These designs use captive snap-on buttons that's used in clothing, with 12 mm outer diameter and 5 mm inner diameter and holding pins of 4 mm apart. You need to enter a PAUSE command on appropriate layer in your slicer, so your printer stops before printing the top layer on snap-on button, giving you opportunity to put it in place. You can also give COLOR CHANGE commands in every 2-3 mm to change the colour, to give a skateboard version effect. You shouldn't need any support, but you have to go thinner layer heights on bottom of big cylindrical handle because of the 30 degree overhangs. The handles are put on the grinder like the factory made ones. You pull the original handle with a bit of force so it pops out, and you push the printed ones with a bit of force so it's in. Don't forget to hit the heart button if you like my design
