Summary
My wife had knee surgery and we had crutches loaned too us, with old foam handles that were falling apart. This has a 20 mm inside diameter to go over the hard handle.
I printed this on a Modified Ender 3 V2 with a direct drive attachment.
I used Techbears TPU which I believe to be TPU 87A. It is very soft and you need to have a flexible filament extruder if you are not direct drive.
Print Settings
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender 3
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
200
Infill:
50% concentric
Notes:
The handle came out softer than any TPU I have printed I think because of the concentric infill.
It worked really well. I used normal support touching build plate.
If you wanted a firmer handle cover, increase infill to 75% Mine came out about as firm as the original foam.
Post-Printing
Remove Support.
The support pulled right off and I didn't have to do any other post processing. There are places I could have smoothed, but I wanted to see if it worked and I pressed it into service.
How I Designed This
Fusion 360
I have really loved designing things in Fusion360 I am getting better at it and it only takes me a few minutes to design things I can use. I like to print usefull things, and have made many parts I could not buy.
