Instructions:
- Part A can be ironed in its default orientation but will need supports. If you like the surface left by your build-plate, it can be easily printed without supports by simply orienting the top face on the build-plate.
- The countersunk holes are designed to accept M3 screws/nuts; traditionally, the screw head would be a flat, countersunk, and "slotted"/"flat head".
- The back of the front plate has a slight fillet to make a flush fit a little easier. If printing face down, consider not modifying the initial layer horizontal expansion, a little elephant's foot in this case can help to hide any gaps/over-cuts in the drawer face.
- Part B, the handle itself, should be printed with supports and in its current orientation, as any imperfections left by them won't be visible in the finished product that way. (I recommend “snug” supports).
- Part C, the backing plate, can simply be sandwiched between the drawer pull and the drawer stock itself when installing, but a dab a CA glue could make installation easier (traditionally, metal tabs would secure the backing plate to the main piece).
- Infill: the print is adequately strong with the default 15% Grid; however, 100% infill gives it a satisfying, heftier feel.
- Perimeters: 3 if using a 0.4 mm nozzle, or 2 if using a 0.6 mm nozzle
Bonus/Optional: The last file can be used to make routing templates and/or simply recesses in other STLs by using “Add Negative Volume” in PrusaSlicer.
Background: British Campaign Furniture was not just used by military officers, but anyone from students, administrators…anyone that anticipated that they may move.
Furniture in this style generally shed the decorative carvings and molding of the time, and used flush hardware in order to be easily packed in crates. As a result, even though they became common in the 18th century, and peaked in popularity in the 19th century, campaign pieces can look surprisingly contemporary today.
I've made slight tweaks from the original but kept the general 1 ¾" by 4 ½" proportions of the 19th century original. It's ½" deep (approx. 12 mm), so should have little issue fitting in typical drawer faces.
