Faucet Valve Handle(Press Fit)

thingiverse

Hardware store is far away, fuel is expensive. It is easier and cheaper to print a handle than to buy. If I make it why not share it? You get .stl and OpenSCAD source for an outdoor faucet valve handle which is ~5mm and has about ~1mm ridges so overall calipers out to around 7mm, my object has a 5mm hole in the center Best press-fit will probably be while freshly printed handle is still hot. I can probably use a stainless steel washer and a M2 or M3 screw to secure this handle. I will pull and edit if the fit is no good, not yet printed. (edit)I way undersized the hole, but I used an old unregulated soldering iron and melted the hole a bit and then pressed on as planned, it works for now. I would thing sizing at 6.5mm might be a better fit for 7mm total OD of the ridges.
