I made a replacement for the ½ inch to ¾ inch water valve-handle in the photo.
Why?
Because I wanted to control it using a zigbee smartvalve motor from Nous. But alas, the handle is not long enough.
So I parametrized the replacement handle to make it longer. Now it just needed to be higher at the end. In order to make that printable in an easy manner, I created a second clip-on part riser and length extension. Final result should be similar to those long red ball-valve handles.
Print with 100% infill in PETG for strength. I used an 0.8mm nozzle but you should just use the maximum layer height allowed for your biggest nozzle that will not cause problems with the overhangs.
The design is parametric in FreeCAD, so you can adjust the values to your needs.
Would love to hear some feedback.
It is fully tested and has been working for months now.
