Toolbox Handle

prusaprinters

<p>A simple design for a handle that doesn't tip over the toolbox. Great for transferring sensitive objects.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note !</p><p>This is an addition to the great design:</p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/39729-tool-box-parametric">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/39729-tool-box-parametric</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Required tools:&nbsp;</p><p>A 3mm drill to open holes in the top cover of the box.</p><p>4x M3 bolts x 10mm for holding the handle bases</p><p>4x M3 safety nuts</p><p>2x M2.5 bolts x 20mm to attach the handle or 2x M3 bolts x 20mm&nbsp;</p><p>A 2.5 or 3mm tap (not required)</p><p>Also is you choose M3 bolts to attach the handle a 2.5mm drill is highly recommended</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Print instructions</p><p>0.2 Layer height</p><p>3 perimeters</p><p>60% infill for the bases</p><p>20% infill for the handle</p><p>Temperatures according to the material used</p><p>PETG is recommended.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instructions:</p><p>Print the toolbox, if you haven't already printed the top cover you can add the holes in fusion 360. The exact dimensions will be included in a photo. Also the design will be shared in case you want to adjust something.</p><p>Print one handle and two bases.&nbsp;</p><p>After the print is done attach the handle to the two bases.&nbsp;</p><p>The orientation of the bases doesn't matter.</p><p>This can be either done by using a tap to form the threads in the bases.</p><p>Use the appropriate tap according to the bolts that will be used, if you will use M3 bolts it's highly recommended to first clean the holes using a 2.5mm drill.</p><p>Or by carefully screwing them in the print job. Again if you will use M3 bolts it's highly recommended to first clean the holes using a 2.5mm drill.</p><p>Afterwards place the handle in the center of the top cover and mark the holes.</p><p>Then drill the holes with the help of a 3mm drill.</p><p>Finally attach the handle.</p><p>A small advise, if your cover wasn't printed solid its highly recommended to use M3 washers to distribute the forces, otherwise the top cover may crack.</p>
