Replacement Handle for a 5 gallon bucket.

Wanted something that didn't need screws or glue but more secure than the print itself.

Designed to utilize a pair of zip ties. The head of the zip tie is recessed into the handle and the tail slots through and around back to the head. Cutting the tail FLUSH to head afterward with a razor blade is required. 

Designed around a harbor freight zip tie with a 7mm x 7mm x 5mm head. 5mm x 1.4mm tail.

Smaller zip ties do work. 

Printed at 0.2 layer height. No need for supports. 

Test prints print fine in both PLA and PETG. 

 

(Jan 2025)

Few requests asked for alignment pins. 

Added Two 10x3x6 (LxWxH) cuts to accommodate waffer style pins.
Waffers have a 0.4 size reduction in all measurements and chamfered to fit. 

 (May 2026)

Added another model that increase the tolerances for the ziptie. Head increased to 9mm x 6mm ( up from 7x5) and the Tail increased to 6mm x 2mm ( 5 x1.4)
