This is a top handle for the Improved Dome for Flashforge Creator Pro thing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1194887. It makes it easy to remove and place the dome using one hand.

This thing was designed by customizing the parametric handle generator http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2320611. If you use the stock dome or any other dome, you can customize it to your specific dimensions.

I attached it to the dome using 3M 2Lb (1Kg) double sides mounting tape.

A few design notes:

• The handle is attached to the dome near its front and rear walls for increase strength and stability.
• The two bases of the handle are extra wide for additional lateral stability.
• Make sure to attach the handle at the center of the dome for better stability.
• I printed it with PLA, 0.2mm 200C (higher temp = better layer adhesion), cooling fan on and material support. I also used brim to prevent the edges of the bases from lifting.

Using the following options:

base_diameter = 30
handle_proportion = 2.7
filet = 5
base_proportion = 2.5
hole_depth = 15
handle_length = 125
base_rotation = 90
handle_bent_radius = 10
handle_height = 30
base_height = 3
base_offset = 0
$fn = 90
bent_fn = 30
hole_diameter = 1.5
handle_thickness = 7
