Collapsible luggage handle

thingiverse

Our higher-ups go to a lot of trade shows, which means a lot of time dealing with airport staff, whether it's security or the guy handling luggage. In this case, the latter pulled a little too hard and broke the handle clean off. The brand of suitcase is unknown, so while this may not work for you, it obviously can be customized and in any case should help give you some ideas for your own needs. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.125-0.25mm Infill: 50% 2-3mm shell thickness Notes: The hinges don't need a lot of infill since you can set your shell thickness fairly high and get near-as-makes-no-difference to solid. The handle also does not require much infill (50% might be overkill) but you'll definitely want to set your shell thickness high so that the part the bolts go through is solid; that's your stress point.
