A few weeks ago we brought you some Fully Customizable General Purpose Handles which proved _really_ popular. Thank you so much to everyone who liked them!
This week we are bringing you another design which was inspired by the 'Single Point' handle; a general purpose handle grip. And just like before, it is fully customizable!
Whether you need a handle for a fishing game or a selfie-stick, this design should be perfect for it.
This design is completely free and shared under a permissive license. Your support is hugely appreciated.

OpenSCAD Customizer Options
This design has the following Customizer options:
Handle
- `Handle_Core_Length` - Length of the handle core (the part you hold)
- `Handle_Core_Thickness` - Thickness of the handle core material (excludes the bulge)
Hole
- `Hole_Diameter` - Diameter of the hole inside the handle
- `Hole_Depth_Percent` - Depth of the hole inside the handle as percentage of overall length
Bulge
- `Bulge_Length_Percent` - Length of the bulge as percentage of Handle_Core_Length
- `Bulge_Width` - Width of the bulge
End Caps
- `Cap_Bevel_Radius` - The radius of the bevel used for the end caps
- `Cap_Middle_Extrusion` - How much to extrude the middle of the end caps
Material
We recommend printing this in a flexible filament for extra comfort.
Versions
- 1.0 (27 Nov 2020) - Initial version
Printing
Recommended slicer settings:
- Resolution: 0.1mm - 0.2mm
- Infill: 20% - 100%, depending how 'squishy' (technical term!) or durable you need the handle to be.
- Supports: Not required for most designs, but will be required for some. For example, if you set a high `Cap_Bevel_Radius` value, the end caps will have large overhangs. We recommend using 'Tree supports' (in Cura - other slicers may use another name for this feature).
- Rafts: No, unless you have adhesion issues. You may require a brim or raft if using tree supports.
