Mug Handle Replacement/Repair (easy single-piece print)

It's tough! I shake-tested it. I bet no one drinks coffee this way.

Use Case:

• If your precious mug's handle broke but has most of the bottom part still attached to the mug body
• If, oddly by chance, you have the same 350-gram Hard Rock Cafe mug as in the cover page
• If the distance between the lip of the mug down to the bottom handle is about 91mm to 95mm

Printing Tips:

• Recommended material:
  • PETG (flexible during installation, rigid during use)
  • PLA (is fine, just note that it will be less flexible than PETG)
• Recommended infill:
  • Gyroid at 20%
• Perimeter walls: 
  • 2 is fine
  • 3 or more (find the right balance between flexibility and rigidity for your mug)
• A small organic support is needed as shown below…
• Print Bed Orientation: as shown below…

How to Assemble and Disassemble:

• To assemble…
  • Rest the bottom part of the handle on the bottom catch of the replacement handle
  • Hold the mug down on a sturdy flat surface
  • With your opposite hand, grasp the new handle firmly. Then with a little upwards tug, gently guide it to the lip of the mug.
  • Release the handle down as it now clasps the mug by itself
• To disassemble…
  • Hold the mug down on a sturdy flat surface
  • With your opposite hand, grasp the handle firmly. Then with a little upwards tug, gently pull it away from the lip.
  • Tip: you may use the other hand to help push it out of the lip.

The design almost but didn't fit exactly what you needed?

• Please comment below if you need a tailor fit for your personal mug, so I can update or add more models.
