Note: This tutorial shows how to make a handle grip using the DIY method.

The handle grip is printed using a 3D printer.

Cut a 200mm piece of 20mm t-slot extrusion. This should fit nicely inside of the star shaped spline hole.

Tap the end of the extrusion with an M5 tap (or 10-32 inch tap).

Place the grip over the tapped end of the extrusion, and use a M5 socket head cap screw to tighten it down.

Note: This was the first handle made, the new ones are much nicer.

Improvements:

Round the edges of the grip even more.

Use acetone to smooth the surface of the grip.
