My first submission for the Spare Parts Design Challenge:
An improved replacement for old Moen Faucet Handles.
Model#:100695
When the handles on the sink broke in my house, I was unable to find replacements at local harware stores becuase the parts had been discontinued. Instead of replacing the whole faucet, I designed and printed these!
They've been in use for over 6 months without any sign of wear or breaking. The originals were susceptible to cracking on the inside surface, and were frankly quite ugly, so I went with a more streamlined outer design and designed a cool, diamond shaped top cover.
Also included are rings that can be printed in blue and red to mark hot and cold. When the caps are printed in transparent material, the colored rings add a really nice look.
Looks like it would work great! The only issue I noticed is the cap's design has some small gaps on the edge of the diamond.
