Replacement Trigger for Craftsman 1610 Electric Edger

thingiverse

This is a replacement trigger for a Craftsman 1610 electric edger Model 71.79653. Last May I bought the edger on a yard sale for $5. The trigger was missing, but given the price I didn't mind. However, the button under the trigger turned out to be more uncomfortable to use than I expected. I eventually used a couple popsicle sticks as some bracing, but it wasn't a perfect solution. I didn't have a 3D printer yet then; now I do. I give you a replacement trigger part. v2 is untested, as the original is still working well on my edger, but it improves arch to better match the handle and changes the tabs so it will sit better on a print bed. I have ideas for further improvement, but this is working well enough, so I'm unlikely to mess with it further.
