Pull Start Handle

thingiverse

My brother was converting his lawn mower engine into a pull start, and I offered to print a handle for him. I thought for sure there would be a suitable model available online, but to my surprise none of the models I found were satisfactory. So, of course, I designed my own. It prints without supports, so it's easy to print and requires little or no clean up. This handle is about three inches from side to side, and has a quarter inch hole through it. I printed mine out of PLA, which works just fine with my brother's setup. However, if it were used on an engine where it is retracted and sits on the engine while it's running, I would recommend printing it with ABS so that it can withstand the engine's heat. This handle could also be used for other applications, such as a garage door pull or an attic hatch handle. Enjoy!
