Description

I printed this in PETG for temperature resistance, and slight bendiness.

Mostly default settings, but I added build plate supports, and increased the perimeters to a large value (15) so that it would effectively be 100% infill, and the layers will lay along the handle, hopefully giving it a fair amount of strength.

To install, use a pliers to bend out the metal brackets holding the handle, replace handle, then bend them back in.

Backstory:

My dad got this Thermos something like 50 years ago, and repaired the handle once before. He sent me a drawing with spec for a replacement, which I made for v1, then I tried to emulate the original a little closer for v2. It was later that I looked it up, and found out that the handle was originally straight, and was just curved from the many years of use.
