Heavy Duty Rack Handle

thingiverse

This is a sturdy grip for shelving units. The grip is anchored securely with robust 4mm screws (8x2) and provides a firm hold. The grip feels comfortable in the hand, particularly when pulling. I use them for two years to move a heavy drawer and they never malfunctioned. These grips are built to be strong, not stylish, they get the job done as intended. Printer Settings Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa I3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: Best print : 0.3mm Nozzle, 0.2 layers, 4 walls, 6 layers for top and bottom Infill: 50 to 100% Notes: You can choose an infill from 50 to 100% depending on the required strength. A load of at least 30kg (60lbs) can be supported with 50% infill, that's how I use it daily for two years now. To support heavy machinery or similar you can increase the infill and raise the printer temperature as high as possible to get a strong bond between layers. Post-Printing After printing, simply remove the supports and secure with countersink head screws. How This Was Designed You wanted something robust? I delivered exactly that. None of my previously downloaded handles could hold anything substantial. So I had to create handles for heavy loads myself. Most of my music equipment is rack-mounted, heavy components wear sturdy grips, and those were no exception. As a musician, it's essential to use strong grips like those found on professional audio equipment. When designing the handle, I experimented with ways to include my monogram in a printable format during this period. This section includes my signature which can be easily removed if needed.
