Valve handle

Handle for ball valve 5x8mm tap. There are two version (both quick to print) - the valve_handle_narrow.stl is for people with high precision printers (e.g. a Bambu Lab) - it will be a tight fit and might need some help. The valve_handle_wide.stl has a more relaxed cut-out for the 8x5mm mounting tab, but you still need a fairly precise printer.

The screw from the original handle has been reused.

Suggested slicer settings:

• 10 walls, 10 tops and 10 bottoms
• 50% infill
• Exclusive slicing (Cura, experimental)
• PLA (real PLA for hardness - not PLA+, ST-PLA, PLA-ST or any of these softer PLA's).

Remember, not all filaments are the same! Some contract more, some less. You might need to play around with x-y scaling in your slicer to get a perfect fit over the valve tab - you want a tight fit with not play beween the tab and the handle, so make it as tight as possible and use some tool to get it onto the tab.
