Simple slim handle for snapmaker enclosure. (or anywhere else)

thingiverse

I find it really surprising that snapmaker didn't include this in the original design. Anyway they didnt so here is mine, its designed to reflect the style of the existing extruded metal handle at the end, ideally I would have printed in dark grey metallic.Remove the M4 allen headed bolt and replace with a slightly longer one (an extra 2 mm). Remember not too tight as its going through the acrylic. It has a 4mm hole for the M4 bolt and a 7mm hole to allow the socket head to fit through the handle part.Seems perfectly strong printed in PLA. Print stood up on its end to avoid support and keep it strong.I used 10% infill I think, no supports and in my case no raft.I have also included a plug to cover the hole needed to put the allen bolt through, the top face curve matches the curve of the handle. not sure its needed really but anyway.I was going to upgrade and properly smooth the curve but actually I think I prefer it how it is.A terrible dark video to show how to fit and how it looks/works is included https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSLxUVlBQ6IWhile you are here, given that you probably have a snapmaker enclosure the photo is my upgrade to allow the door to hold itself fully open when required without flapping around or folding closed. Just replace the 2 x m4 stainless allen bolts as shown in the pic with 2 normal steel allen bolts. Then stick any small magnet on one of them and hey presto, fully open the door and it will hold itself open. I used a 6mmx2mm magnet and its easily strong enough.
