<p>print vertically on the flat sufrace, the file is not optimized for overhangs - it's optimized for easy sanding on a 4mm hand drill and assembly with these I used petg with 3 perimeters for sturdiness.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/265006483654">https://www.ebay.com/itm/265006483654</a> &nbsp;(non-affilated)</p><p>I bought mine in OBI, 15 PLN for the set (around 3,2€)</p><ol><li>print</li><li>insert a 4mm drillbit like you would a corkscrew to a wine cork</li><li>put the drillbit in an electric drill</li><li>sandeasly in clockwise direction drill motion (unless your drill is backwards and drills the wrong way) - direction to make sure the sanding does not get the handle off</li><li>as file is not optimized for overhangs (at least in petg) &nbsp;I started with wet 60grit, then 120=&gt;200=&gt;600=&gt; 1200, all wet paper to make sure i dont friction melt-it, for really fast sanding I found that a little amount of runnning water allows to get sanding time of one piece get below 2-3 mins for total sanding.</li><li>drill the hole properly to 4 mm now, same drill.</li><li>cover handle with acrylic clear spray coat for shiny finish</li><li>disassemble the files (vice+pliers are sufficient, these are not glued or co-moulded)</li><li>put a drop or 2 of CA glue in the new handle</li><li>insert the file.&nbsp;</li></ol><p>Seems like al lot of work, but it's actually pretty straightforward.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I add STEP files, should anyone like to change anything.&nbsp;</p>
