Einstar Handle MK1

This grip works great, but if you are new here, I recommend that you instead print my MK2 grip instead:

This is my attempt at making an ergonomic grip for the Einstar, it is inspired by the grip of the Einscan Pro HD that I really quite like, and I am really happy with how it turned out!

I use the fuzzy skin setting to get a good grip texture

To save some time, I use the “Fuzzy Skin Outside Only” setting in Cura.

You can print this in 4 ways.

1.) You have a dual material printer and want a TPU grip

• Download the dual-material body and grip
• Merge them in your slicer and set the grip to print with TPU.
• I recommend that you turn on “fuzzy skin” for the grip part to get texture

2.) You have a single material printer, but still want a TPU grip

• Download the dual material body and the two separate_grip halves.
• Print the main body which will require supports to be turned on.
• Print the two grip halves in TPU.
• If you want to use “fuzzy skin” to get a grippy texture, be ready that you might need to sand the inside a bit to make it fit again.
• Use contact cement or epoxy to glue the grip halves to each other and the body. 

3.) You have a single (or dual) material printer, and want a textured grip

• Download the dual-material body and grip
• Merge them in your slicer
• Select the grip part and enable “fuzzy skin”

4.) You have a single extrusion printer and don't care about grip texture

• Download the single material version and print it.

For all of the versions, you need to print two up/down buttons and one middle button. These prints laying flat on the build plate with the “rails” towards the build plate.

All the body part prints standing on their “back”.

I recommend printing the body in a rigid material of your choice, and for the grip, the softer the TPU is, the better.

To mount it, you will need one of these tripod screws:

If you don't want to get them, you can a similar one or use any short ¼"-20 screw of your choice (around 10mm in length).
