Easy tap handle for kids, or E-Nable
Description
SO i am training my children to use the toilet and wash their hands after, but the stupid square handles require alot more torque than their lil arms and hands can muster. i didnt want to change the handle style as that means going through the wife, which would no doubt end up 10k deep into a bathroom reno, no thanks. so i used fusion 360 to recreate a rough replica of the original handle then created this 'torque arm' cut the handle out to create the negative inside, gave it a couple of chamfers and chucked it to the printer. The fit was a touch high and loose, so i heated it over the stove and pressed it on the handle nice n deep so it engaged over the flares at the bottom, let it cool and its been rock soild for 3 odd months, the arm is long enough that even my 2 year old can actuate the tap. This could also be used by elderly or those with disabilities/amputations for easy actuation of the tap. I only did the cold tap for safety, but you could easily print a 2nd for the hot tap too. the kids love it, and guests have commented on it too!! printed in white pla to suit the rest of the bathroom.
