Replacement handle fits Fenwick 5.7 boxes sold in the US in the late 1980s. It may fit other models of tackle box if you scale it along the correct axis (along the width of the handle).
Recommend printing with ASA so it's slightly flexible and also UV-resistant. Print in a material that bends a little bit (PETG may work), so that both of the axel-pegs can be pushed into position by bending the part. I would not recommend PLA.
I sliced it with supports on the bed, using a 0.8mm nozzle with 0.4mm layer height, 3 shells, and also 1.6mm of top and bottom layers for strength. The original handle was not solid, but I want this new one to be stronger to hold more fishing equipment without breaking. I've uploaded my 3mf file which has a configuration that worked for my Prusa MK3S+. I'm sure it can be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, just add shells!
I've had this Fenwick 5.7 fishing tackle box since about 1987! It's still being used for fishing and on my last trip had so many lead sliders that one of the “axel pegs” sheared off right at the box. This replacement keeps the old box going.
