Sparrows Lockpick Handles

thingiverse

As i started to add files to my original lockpick handle design it occured to me that as I am responding and redesigning for others as they ask, that this might need its own thing status. Still based on the original "Dragon Fang" profile, I was asked if i could knurl it as i had on my disc Detainer pick design... Flat knurling is called checkering in the gunsmith world, so i checkered a pattern on both sides for grip, but left the top and bottom smooth to aid in feedback. Originally designed to print in the upright position on a raft for good support, these picks can be printed flat if you prefer, if you do, they don't need a raft... rafts and checkering really dont get along and you will have a hell of a job getting them off lol As usual, I have included the AutoCAD DWG files for anyone wanting to play/tinker or Remix. Ive also added a deeper pocketed drawing and STL for people who want to bury the handle it's the one labelled 82mm Deep, the standard one as pictured is 72mm Deep. I originally designed these for my Sparrows picks, it occurred to me that I might as well include the sparrows logo on there as well., so i did... and to me at least it looks pretty cool, especially with the dark grey Carbon Fiber material. You can use any PLA, ive printed them with multiple brands, the only one I had problems with was the multi color changing type... that stuff doesn't adhere well to the bed and is not very strong IMHO. Anyway, have fun and stay safe :)
