decided to realize one more idea for furniture handles
this time very simple design of round rods (they are printed standing)
easily adjustable for any length between thread holes
M4 threads on the bottom of each holder for attaching to furniture
threads are printed horizontally, but they worked very well for me on given settings
possibility to scale ↕ the rod to any length
added possibility for HIDEOUT 🔐👮!
hollow rod + covering cap
Print instructions:
see 3mf
❗ 0.2 mm layer height, 0.4mmnozzle => with theese the thread works for me well, other settings may not work nicely, but you may try
the thread will be too loose probably on bigger nozzles or higher layer hight
no supports
no brim needed
print rod standing
tip: seam (applied in attached gcodes + 3mf)
place seam on the rod - on one side (so it can be turned to the furniture)
place seam on the holder - on the back or inside, so it is invisible
If you want different size / distance between thread holes
just scale the rod
Assembly:
use M4 bold (up to 20mm) to tighten the rod in the holder
be careful, not to screw it much, as rod can be broken
they goes in the side holes
then use another M4 (longer, required length depends on your furniture) to attach it to the furniture
for the middle hole
Tips:
if you plan to use hideout hollow rod:
create some rods/handles with full body and for example only one hollow handle with hideout → will make it harder to spot the difference
you can have whole body in the same color (rod+cap) or having cap with different color
you can even create continuous endless rod, by having the adjacent surfaces inside the holder, the connection will be invisible - and both rods can be tighten with bolts inside
