Description
When I fully extended the handle on my suitcase, it wasn't able to fully close. This is a clamp for my Borderline suitcase that prevents the pin from fully extending so the handle doesn't get stuck when it is fully extended. This is a quick print, taking 3 minutes and using under 1g of filament on my AnkerMake M5C.
I designed this using Fusion360. It is just a cheap and generic suitcase, so I have attached the cad files so you can remix it to make it fit the dimensions of your suitcase. I have also posted this on Printables, https://www.printables.com/model/1091141-borderline-suitcase-handle-extension-fix-easily-cu, and AnkerMake Make It Real, https://makeitreal.ankermake.com/models/281a8056ae5c11efa39f7248bb1359c9/.
Recommended Print Settings:
50% Gyroid infill (to make sure it clamps on to the bar strongly)
No supports needed
No brim needed
Feel free to leave any comments/suggestions/improvements and post any makes. I hope this is useful to someone. Happy Printings!
