After accidentally breaking my esky handle on a recent camping trip i decided it would be a perfect opportunity to print a replacement. To create the model I began in Autodesk Inventor with a sketch along the centerline of the handle.I then created a circular profile normal to the end of the curve and created a guide rail to change the profile shape along the length of the handle Following this i mirrored the half of the handle to create the full handle I could have stopped here but wanted to add the knobbly bits in the handle for maximum legitness. To create the knobbly bits i modeled an artsy curved profile and swept it along a curve modeled on the inner face of the handle then patterned the curve to the left and right I would include more pictures but i'm too tired to figure out how to add more than the 6 allowed Link to thingyverse source fileshttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing
Did i mention the new handle is glow in the dark.
