I'm printing a few of these ToroSpins for my nieces and nephews, but they have little hands and I didn't think they'd be able to grasp the large housing easily. So I've added a simple cylindrical handle. It's hollow, so it's still fairly easy to get the center screw in.
Testing it myself, it does make for easier launches. This is of course at the expense of a longer print time and the need for supports.
I've printed them in standard PLA which is plenty tough enough since this thing is fairly overbuilt, but I do wonder if PETG or ABS would hold up better to the abrasion from the pull rod.
So far I've printed it upright with normal supports, but it may come out better printed upside-down. That's my next test. Update: Should be printed upright. Supports are difficult to remove when printed upside-down, and internal clearances are adversely effected.
I've included the Fusion 360 file so you should be able to change the handle parameters as you see fit.
Enjoy!
