Description

YES I WOULD!

 

But we can't do that quite yet, so we can just bide our time until the moment is right by downloading car parts.

 

This is an add-on door handle for the Ford Maverick (Mine is a 2023 XL, but this should fit any 2022-2024 Maverick). Due to the integrated water bottle holder in the door panel, Ford decided to cut off half the door handle to allow taller water bottles to fit. That's cool and all, but I don't use taller bottles, and the stock door handle is infuriatingly awkward to use. However, there are 4 bolts on the handle that hold the trim on, and thread into a fairly substantial metal bracket within the door handle. This easy mounting point prompted me to go overengineer a solution.

 

Just remove the 4 bolts, pop the new door handle between the old one and the armrest, and bolt it in. It requires a bit of force to get into place due to the fit between the handle and the armrest, which uses the cushioning as a bit of a retention mechanism, but once it's on, it's not going anywhere. I printed mine in ASA, but PETG would also work. I would not recommend PLA for this part, as temperatures inside a truck in the summer would cause it to soften and deform. My print profile is also aggressively aimed at strength, with 4 walls and 30% infill. You could absolutely get away with less, however I would recommend ensuring that the plastic is completely solid between each side of the bolt holes. My prototypes were not, and tightening the bolts caused some uncomfortable cracking sounds. I have obviously fixed this in this profile.

 

I've also included a raw STL and STEP and SLDPRT files in case you want to improve on the design. Those files are all for the passenger side doors, just mirror them to get drivers' side.

 

Uploaded first on MakerWorld because I have an established account here, but I'll eventually be throwing it up on Thingiverse and Printables because Ford Maverick Makers are a lot more prevelant there.

have you considered making this with a bin in the handle?

I'm working on that, that's what I ultimately want for my truck. It's a lot harder to print nicely with ASA tho. I'll upload it as soon as I get it printing correctly.

Replying to @missing_string :
Cool, I printed mine using PETG. I turned on fuzzy skin with a 0.4 length and 0.2 depth. I have a lariat with BAP, so I used black. With the fuzzy skin it looks almost like the rest of the black plastic inside the car, just a little bit sparkly/shiny. I wish I could find some good matte black PETG for it. One thing to note, is that the piece that comes into contact with the armrest, I made an adjustment and made a tiny 3 degree tilt away from the front of the car's armrest. The initial version would pinch the leather on the armrest against the plastic of the armrest. The 3 degree tilt reduced the pinch. I was going to attempt a 5 degree tilt, I just haven't done it yet.
