Spin Sling 360 Knob to Lever Kit was designed to turn door knobs into levers.  

Functional Design Features

  • Concave Lever for Easy Fist Handling
  • Free Spinning Lever for Easy Pulling
  • Universal Design for All Knob Diameters

3D Printing Features

  • 100% 3D Printed - no hardware (nuts, bolts, etc.)
  • No Post-Processing - all parts print without supports
  • Basic Materials (PLA or ABS) - no exotic filament required (like flexible filament)

A New 'Spin' On Door Levers

Fundamentally, door levers are made to grasp with fingers.  There is not enough clearance between the door and the lever for a fist when pulling.  The Spin Sling 360 has a concave lever that spins.  Simply turn your wrist to spin the lever and the concave shape adds extra clearance for your fist.  Brilliant.

All parts were printed as follows:

  • Nozzle: 0.4mm
  • Layer Height: 0.1mm
  • Speed: 50mm/s
  • Supports: None
  • Adhesion: Skirt
  • Infill Density: 20%
  • Slicer: Cura

Hey guys - Congrats on the win and thank you so much for your entry. I LOVE this design. If all of my door handles weren't already "brandy friendly" in my apartment, we'd be installing these everywhere. This is such a game changer! - brandy leigh scott
