Triceps Grip

This project started as one of my first 3D modeling projects.

It was also the first functional part I printed using TPU. The original physical print wasn't perfect aesthetically, but it worked successfully as a functional grip and gave me the opportunity to test the design in the real world.

Recently, I revisited the project and rebuilt the grips with cleaner geometry and improved topology. The model you're downloading is the updated version.

I'm sharing it for free because I thought it might be useful to someone else, whether for personal use, 3D printing practice, or as a starting point for their own modifications.

The render images show the current version of the model. The photograph shows the original physical TPU print from the early version of the project.

3D Printing

The original prototype was printed using:

Material: TPU 95A

Layer height: 0.20 mm

Infill: 12%

Wall count: 4 walls

These settings worked for my original print, but they should not be considered definitive recommendations. TPU behavior can vary considerably depending on the printer, filament brand, extrusion settings, temperature, print orientation, and other factors.

You may want to adjust the settings according to your printer and the type of TPU you are using.

I'm also including the blender file, in case anyone is interested.

Important safety notice

This model is shared as a free community project and has not been professionally engineered, load-tested, or safety certified.

The original prototype was printed and used successfully, but that does not guarantee the same performance with every printer, material, print orientation, or print setting.

3D-printed parts can fail unexpectedly, especially when subjected to repeated or high loads. Inspect the printed part regularly for cracks, layer separation, deformation, or other signs of damage.

Use this model at your own discretion and determine whether your particular print is suitable for its intended use.
