Replacement Handle for a Rowing Machine - Skiff Plus (Vogatore) by Carnielli

thingiverse

I purchased a used rowing machine some years ago (15+) that only had one handle. It ended up being a real pain. Years before 3d printings arrival, I pieced together some pvc and solid plastic that did make using the rowing machine easier. Years go by and 3d printing comes along and I think I can finally put a decent handle on the skiff plus rowing machine. It took awhile to get to a nice enough design. I keep having problems converting a sphere. I finally came across Chris Odom's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18PG4C1AbRXNfd4lcFGUaw He had an excellent and easy to understand instruction for producing a sphere. Following his instructions, I was able to make several test files before I got to a point where it felt the file was clean enough to print at the local makerspace at my library. It is a little shorter than the original. The walls of the handle seemed too thin so I made them thicker. It should mount on the rowing arm without any adjustment. There is a bushing that I changed with some scrap brass tubing I have. I made this because no replacement part was available. The drawing is of the original idea. The final is a little different. After the print was done I thought this could also be used for handles for a jump rope.
