I measured their sinks and found three common sizes. STL files are provided for those (3 in = 76.2 mm, 3 1/8 in = 79.4 mm, 3 1/4 in = 83.0 mm).In addition, the OpenSCAD source file is included to allow customization. For that, open it in OpenSCAD 2021.01 or later, use the Customizer Window to modify parameters as desired using F5 to preview, and when satisfied press F6 to render followed by F7 to save as STL.The handle can be removed, shortened, or lengthened, and it can be faceted by setting $fn to smaller values.
