Assistive Technology Weighted Handle
This project is made to assist people who want to use weighted grips when using their utensils.
Supplies
Onshape
PLA Filament
PrusaSlicer 2.9.2
Designing the Frame
I used Onshape to design the base of the handle. Attached below is the STL file for the handle, so if you want to use the current model as is, that is perfectly fine. However, if you want to make adjustments, the layers are ordered in the steps taken to design the handle.

Designing the Screws
I used Onshape again to design the screws. While it is possible to create screws with a "typical" screw shape, I would not recommend it, as the screws are incredibly small, so it is very hard to actually print those details. Similar to the handle, attached below is the STL file, so if you want to use the current model as is, that is perfectly fine. However, if you want to make adjustments, the layers are ordered in the steps taken to design the screw.

Adding the Files to PrusaSlicer
Below are the attached gcode files to print the handle and screws. Copy the settings below when printing in order to ensure that both will not break when they are finished printing.
