Taig tailstock handle grip

Description

The Taig Microlathe's drilling tailstock has a very annoying handle - just a flat bar of steel. If you have to use it at all, you hate it. If you have to use it a lot, you really hate it. Especially if you have to put significant pressure on it for faster drilling. The fact that it's short means you have to push harder.

So it needs a grip. Here's one. 

Print in TPU or other flex filament of your choice. Print upright with the solid end down. I think it would also work in PLA or PETG, but a bit of flex is better. I printed it both with 15% fill and with more to make it firmer. The gcode I include has more infill in the bottom section to make it stiffer past the end of the lever. I used a small brim just to be sure, but it probably doesn't need it. 

Please do not sell the prints of this.
