Extended Wheelchair Joystick Handle for Quantum 6000z Power Chair

thingiverse

The Quantum 6000z wheelchair comes with a joystick handle that's often a major hassle due to its incredibly low height. Unfortunately, it's super easy for your hand to brush against the recline button and send the chair grinding to a screeching halt. To alleviate this problem, you can easily upgrade the handle by adding about 30 millimeters in height, effectively eliminating those pesky accidental button presses. The modified handle is specifically designed for the Quantum 6000z wheelchair but it's likely to work just fine with other models as well. If you're curious about whether it will fit your particular chair, the center hole has a diameter of 6.5 millimeters and stands at a height of 18 millimeters. If you've got another joystick handle type that you think could be useful to others, please let me know so I can share it with the community!
