Description
This is a heavy duty handle for racks.
This handle is fixed with strongs 4mm screws (8x2) and offers a strong grip. The handle is comfortable to the hand especialy while pulling.
I use them for two years to move a weighty drawer and they never failed.
That handles are made to be strong, not to be cute, they do what they're meant to do. Good stuff.

Notes:
You can choose a infill from 50 to 100% depending of the strenght needed. 50% can hold at last a 30kg load (60lbs), that's how I use it daily since two years. You can increase the infill if you want to hold heavy machinery or so. Raise the printer temperature as high as possible for your filament, to get a strong bond between layers.
Post Printing
Just remove the support and use countersink head screws.
You said heavy duty, uh ?
Well, that's realy what I wanted ! I download handles, but any of them could just hold light stuff. I had to move a heavy drawer with my 3d Printer on it and the overall weight exceeds 30kgs (60lbs). I did not wanted button style handles. As musician, most of my equipment is rackable and heavy components wear strong handles.
I wanted to design handles as strong as these professionnal equipment ones. The shape is inspired by audio racks handles. I just refined a bit the shape to make that handle realy comfortable. The design is discreet and functional. Nothing fancy.When I designed that handle, I was trying different ways to include my monogram in a printable way. I tryed different things on any print I made during this period. So that part holds my monogram. It can be grinded out easily if you don't like it.
