Ender 3 Bed Handle

thingiverse

I got fed up with having to grab my bed while it was scorching hot or when I didn't have time for it to cool down completely. So, I searched Thingiverse for bed handles. Many other bed handles on the site didn't match the look I wanted or fit properly (the hotend kept hitting them). I decided to create one myself. This design is low enough that it no longer causes issues with the hotend and high enough that it doesn't interfere with my tensioner. I've included the STL file along with the STP/STEP file in case you want to make any changes. Please let me know your thoughts! Update 2020/09/15: I raised the faceplate by about 5 mm and moved it forward a bit, roughly 11 mm. It seemed like it was still slightly too low. I printed the new version using grey ABS. In the image, you'll notice that the circular cutout on the bottom of the faceplate is not centered, but I've since fixed this issue.
