MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...

So, I really haven't had much time to think about or work on the Dart. I've been doing some extra time at work and preparing for the future. I redesigned and printed a new handle a couple of weeks ago. I was able to change its dimensions so that I could reduce the print time and increase the surface finish. It also feels much stronger and if I wanted to print it with a higher resolution it should be better. I did make it a little taller and added a cover to hide the springs on the door handle, and hopefully it clears. I also added a couple counterbores on the flat side; however, they didn't come out. That's why there are just 2 circles and me trying to remove supports.

Whenever I get to my mom's house, next, I'll try this handle on. Otherwise, I still need more dimensions for the new instrument panel I have.

3-D printers are nice.
I would recommend when designing parts, put in a generous radius instead of 90 deg corners.
90 degree on corners become high stress points.
