One of the handles for my drawer at home broke so I decided to create one myself.

I modeled two simple cubes and a hole for my design. Then I applied boundary conditions and a small amount of force to reflect drawer handle being pulled. Topology optimization was done in Ansys Discovery.

Hole diameters are slightly below M4 as I will be tapping them manually. Distance between holes is around 62 milimeters.

 

Printed with 0.2 layer height, 30% infill using PETG. A brim or a raft is strongly recommended
