Here's the onshape link, pretty much every part should be adjustable through the variable table.

I found in "testing" that even with a a good number of wall layers and infill, there was still a bit too much shear at the lever point where the threads meet the handle because of layer cohesion. Admittedly that might be because the only filament I have on hand right now is matte PLA…either way I'd recommend either splitting the base model down the middle and printing sideways (with good brims) or printing upright with a support in the middle. The model was designed to print upright with the “pommel” side on the print bed with no need for supports. Printing the square “support rod” sideways puts the layer lines in tension and compression and performs surprisingly well.
The dowel bore is 3/8", the closest to 10mm at my local big-box store. Clearances are set at 0.3mm for all parts, which allowed for a somewhat loose friction fit from my printer.
