Handle for Sparkmaker Resin 3D Printer

thingiverse

##What's This?\r\n\r\nThis simple handle is designed specifically for the Sparkmaker resin 3D printer, allowing users to easily lift off the lid with one hand. The problem of a cumbersome lid was something I encountered when purchasing the printer, and this solution effectively addresses that issue by enabling users to grasp it with their fingertips. Its compact size helps save on materials.\r\n\r\n##Printing and Usage Notes\r\n\r\nThis handle is optimized for printing directly on the Sparkmaker without any additional supports. Attach it securely to the lid using a strong adhesive designed for plastics, such as E6000 adhesive, which I found to be effective. Any two-part epoxy should also work well. However, superglue might not provide sufficient strength for this application.\r\n\r\nIf you prefer, you can print it on a standard 3D printer at a larger scale, but the steep overhangs may pose challenges for FDM printers.\r\n\r\n\r\n###What's the STEP File?\r\n\r\nA STEP file is provided as an alternative to the STL file, offering greater flexibility in CAD packages. Future designs will include STEP files as well. Note that STEP files are not compatible with 3D printing software like Cura, so use the STL file for direct printing if you prefer.\r\n\r\n
