I wanted side handles for my V0 but couldn't find quite what I wanted.
They needed to be simple, need minimal extra hardware, print without supports, and not be too obtrusive. I wanted them on the side of the main frame for strength and I also wanted them to hold the side panel in place as well as keep the top hat aligned.
This is what I came up with.
I printed it in ABS on the V0 at 0.15mm layer height and using 0.1mm variable layers for the last section as I didn't want it to get messy.
If you were installing these at build, slide in an extra M3 nut on the upper side 'B' extrusions.
If you are adding them later then you'll need a roll in M3 in each extrusion.
Then swap the bolts for M3x10s and its good to go!
The only additional hardware you'll need are 4 M3x10s and 2 slide in or roll in M3 nuts.
