Thank you! I’d be honored to have CreativeTools print my handle design. I’ve posted the files to grabcad, let me know if you need another CAD format. https://grabcad.com/library/pot-handle-1

Sounds like a bit too much work for just a handle for a pot. Before going through all the trouble of making a mold and all of that I would just buy a new pot. The next step I would take, if the heat ends up being too much would be to reprint them in Nylon and see if the results are better.

Yeah, it works pretty well and doesn’t take too much work. There are a bunch of youtube videos about vapor smoothing including quite a few different techniques.

Yeah sorry about that, typo! It’s definitely 105C. I hope they withstand stove use, in testing right now
time will tell. I probably should have used sintered nylon but I wanted to try out the vapor smoothing. -
Thanks! The handles should do just fine against heat and everything. With a glass transition phase of around 150°C ABS plastics do pretty well against heat compared to other printable plastics such as PLA. ABS plastics are used for a variety of applications such as helmets, car parts, and Lego to na…

Thank you! The handles had already been broken for many years so I had never even seen them before. I ended up basing the handles on design cues from the handle/knob on the pot lid.

A worn-out pot in need of new handles became the perfect opportunity to practice my skills as an industrial designer; problem solving, design, modeling, and production. The pot’s handle attachment points were carefully noted and used to determine the most functional and ergonomic solution. With the…
