I wanted a handle for a hardwood dowel we use in the sliding glass door, for security, I guess.  Although anyone with a brick can get in.

I ended-up over-engineering this quite a bit, the various parts are all printed in the orientation that makes them the strongest (print it flat) the rings connect to the handle with a dovetail joint, and you can use a standard M3 x 15 to 25 mm to secure it better and add strength.

I printed it in PETG.  I designed it to be easier to remove and replace from the track slot by hand, but I now exclusively remove it with my toe, go figure.  I lack the skill to replace it by foot, but believe me, I'm practicing.

Not sure if anyone else in the world will like or want this model?  Please enjoy if you do.
