Large carrying handle for Monoprice Select Mini

thingiverse

I printed out the Monoprice Mini Select carrying handle and liked it, but wasn't thrilled with its narrowness and was uncertain if two little M3 screws were quite enough to support it. Probably okay, but there are other screws in the area, so what if we made the handle wider and used more screws? That thought led to this design. It's not pretty - I'm not a designer - but it's functional and feels decent enough in the hand. It's designed to be easy to print without needing any supports, although as you can see in my photos, my printer didn't do great at bridging. I considered removing the center flat portion as it doesn't really add to the strength of the part, but I didn't. Fusion360 files are included in case you'd like to make yours not quite so ugly. If you modify it, post it as a remix - I'd love to see it! Three of the stock M3 screws worked on my v2 printer. Only the two underneath the handle needed to be replaced, and I used M3x12 for those two. (See the silver screws in the photos) A socket head hex cap screw would be best so you could use a ball-end hex driver, but I did okay using a #2 Phillips screwdriver with a long shaft at an angle. The other screws can be gotten from above without any problems.
