3D model description

/I have designed and printed a fold down handle for the Nokta Simplex line of metal detectors. This makes it easier to stow it away in a carry bag. I have printed this out of PETG Carbon Fiber, if you are familiar with ABS or Nylon they may work as well. I printed slowly so it took 3 days to print all the parts. I recommend printing the Cam Lock out of PLA as CF on CF is very grippy and could break the "finger" on the main body. Also i sanded the cam surface and added a dab of grease. The hardware I used was 2-M8x32 1 1/2" metal screws, 2-M8x32 nylon lock nuts, 4-M8 flat washers, 1-6mm bail pin (or what ever 6mm pin you prefer) the collar joining the 2 halves fits very tight so use some force but keep it square to the main parts, it fits tight enough you don't need glue or screws to hold them together. This is confirmed to fit the Simplex next gen(ultra, BT, Lite) but may fit the simplex plus, legend, and score/double score as they look like the same main body/handle. Make sure to select "LAY FLAT" in your slicer, one of the files is tilted 1 degree by accident, in cura just select the rotation tab and click lay flat, prints perfect.

UPDATE: Handle has been adjusted to accommodate the longer base of the legend
UPDATE 2: I have redesigned the front half of the body to eliminate the cam lock, and now use a tampered thread to lock the mid shaft, this feels better swinging and I believe will take less wear. I put a little silicone grease on the inside of the nut to prevent binding, also the nut only needs to be snug, do not over tighten the lock nut. Snu it, try to move the saft, if it still moves snug it a tiny bt more.
