Ball Valve Handle

thingiverse

I have a 32 ( 1 1/4") ball valve / tap where the original handle was to long. I've re-engineered a handle for it so that its shorter and balanced. It actually works better for me then the original one. I **think** this will work for most pipe diameter valves of the same sort. This make differs from other makes I've found in that it has the "stops" for open and closed positions (ie it only turns 90 degrees). The pictures are of V1. There were a couple of issues that I've corrected but not reprinted - I've made the part that fits over the actual tap slightly bigger so it fits over the tap (I used an angle grinder on the prototype). I've also made the top wall a little (0.6mm) thicker. I designed this in Freecad (and I'm not a designer, so it is likely not very elegantly designed)
