Support Rail Handle

Have a set of stair at our entrance at home, with no rails to hold on to, my elderly mother asked for some sort of handle for her to use at the beginning of the stairs, to help her get up to the first steps, so made this design.

From “top” to “bottom”, depending on the angle printed, but as shown in the picture, it is just over 80mm, wich is plenty of room regardless if wearing gloves or similar.

The Width of the actual grip part is just under 120mm so one gets a good grip regardless of handsize.

Totalt width of the entire print is 241mm.

For more measurements and values, see the pictures at the end to get a better understanding, aswell as illustration of the "ScrewheadDepth" value represents.

I made this print with the default values used in the parametric, since that suited the screws i had, this made for a very stable print to use when fitted to the wall.

Also make sure you use good sized screws to make a properly secured fit.

For extra strength, i've made this print with 4 holes for screws, and i strongly suggest using all 4, i take no responsibilty for any injuries that may occur by using this handle, if you want a proper handicap friendly rail/support handle, i suggest you buy one.

Printprofile is when the handle is printed “standing up” for a cleaner print and with supports, you can save some materials by arranging it differently, my first print i printed lying down, but had some seam lines and disturbances to curved edges that way, but you can print it however you want.

Printed in Bambulab PLA Basic Silver in the pictures.

This is my first Parametric design, and i just want the screws to be adjustable for now, im also working on a parametric version of my very popular model for the Bed Head Remote Controller, so feel free to check that out if that sounds like something you need :)

I am uncertaion how parametric models change the downloaded .3mf file, so double check settings before printing, or cut the model out and test-print just a portion of it if you want to make sure.

Got any questions, suggestions or requests ? dont hesitate to leave them as comment and i will do my best to reply back.

If you like the print, feel free to rate it and dont forget to check out my other models, there might be more models that suit your need as i model and print to solve stuff at home, perhaps you need one of my models without even knowing it ;)
