A carrying handle for plastic bags from the grocery store.

Instructions

Use a raft. If you don't, the ends pop up too easy. I printed mine with two shells and 30% infill. The final product was tested with over 90 lbs of groceries in sacks and it didn't even creak. I'm calling this a success.

PLA or ABS?

I used ABS. Never tried PLA, but I wouldn't think it strong enough.

So close! I had everything warmed up ready to print, and the item is larger than the platform on my Up! Printer. I could scale it down easy enough, but I have big hands And I pprobably need to keep the same size. I thought of rotating it 45deg on 2 axis to make it fit, but then the lines of strength go the wrong way and the tool would break during use. Oh well I will either have to draw my own or go without. Thanks for sharing your work.

is there a format that I can post it in to help? The mcx is mastercam and the dwg is a 3D variety.

has anyone got a manifold version of this? even netfab cloud didn't like this version.

Great design.

*Note for anyone going to print one: if you're going for a super smooth surface and using 0.1 layer height, make sure you set the object infill % to something more like 20. Also, if printing on a raft, with a layer height that small, it's like pulling cotton off a rough-cut board; the first layer
your object touches won't come off without sanding

We just wanted to thank Thingiverse for featuring this project. We really appreciate it! :-D

This is cool. I had one of these years ago, lost it, and now I can print a replacement!

Glad I could help.
