Soft liner/cover insert for Sugatsune DSI-4253-35 sliding door pulls

Problem…  Couple of family members hurt their fingers on the relatively sharp looking Sugatsune DSI-4253-35 doors pulls we have.  Minor injuries, but could be mitigated/avoided if design had chamfered or slightly rounded edges, and/or, if pulls came with (removable) silicone liners.
 

Fix…  Designed, printed and am using some TPU liners/covers to soften the edges.  Used clear silicone to hold the liners in place.  We can always remove the liners if/when makes sense.  

Included a “shim” to help temporarily hold the liner in place while silicone cures.  Printed Shim using PETG, design has bunch of holes so door is still usable while silicone is curing.

Short video for Sugatsune folks…

Created and shared the covers to help others that have the same pulls, or, maybe spark/inspire others to fix a thing that frustrates them.  Cheers!

Mirror cover or liner parts in your slicer depending on which side(s) you're printing.  Don't need to mirror the temporary shim, the shim can be used as-is for either side of the pull.

For what it's worth, tried various designs/prototypes before deciding this was ‘good enough’ for our needs.  Despite heating/dehydrating TPU for many hours,, expect to do a bit of post processing cleanup.  Ideally, injection molded liner inserts would come with the pulls.

2025-01-08 EDIT: Uploaded an additional liner model with 3mm radius for some of the edges.  Reason…  One of the five pulls I purchased/installed has more rounded internal edges than the others 🤷♂.  Anyway, sugatsune-dsi-4253-35-liner,radius=3mm is available for folks that need it.
