I tripped and fell into my Kiskiz retractable baby gate (this model, specifically) and broke the top handle. The company sells replacement part kits on Amazon but screw paying $13 for some injection molded plastic, I have a $1,000 3D printer I could use instead! And this way the next time it happens I can have one ready to go easily.

Designed to be printed upside down, with the largest flat surface on the bottom. I suggest adding a brim. As you can see there was some drooping on the bridging, I might modify the model at some point to try to avoid that but right now IDGAF, it's good enough. If you really hate it, that's what supports are for. The fit was quite snug for me similar to the original, I found wedging something in the slot and prying it open a bit to get it started over the webbing was a useful strategy to get it on. I left a bit of play in the height to ensure it would be able to fit, so you might have to raise it up a bit from “fully inserted” to get the screw holes to line up.

I've included the Ondsel ES (FreeCAD with light mods) source file; I think it should load in nightly builds of vanilla FreeCAD as well but I haven't tried it. The model isn't totally parametric but shouldn't be too hard to modify.
