Handle for Wooden Boxes

May 6, 2018 Update: This new design for the handle eliminates the need for a brass rod altogether. You can print the entire component in one go and secure it with two M3 screws and nuts. Check out the photo added and take a look at BoxHandle_Alternative.stl. If you're building wooden boxes or already have some on hand, this handle will come in handy when moving them around shelves. In addition to the printed parts, you'll need 2 pieces of M3 screw, measuring 16mm in length, along with nuts. You'll also require a brass rod, 4mm in diameter and 59.5mm long (brass welding rods work perfectly). This rod is inserted into the arms using a push rod or similar tool. It's designed to fit snugly at the end. To attach the complete handle to a box, I used 2.5 x 10mm wood screws. The length can be adjusted according to the thickness of the box wall. By the way, this handle is intended for use with light and small boxes, weighing no more than 3-4 kg. For optimal results, it's best to use PETG filament and keep fan speeds low to ensure proper bonding between layers.
