Introduction: Handle for Elegoo Mars 2 SLA 3D Printer
I just purchased a Elegoo Mars 2 SLA 3D printer to learn about resin based printing. Upon unboxing, I realized a serious deficiency in the design of the UV light limiting shroud. About 10 years ago, I had a stroke that induced paralysis in my right hand. The shroud is larger than my hand, so without changes to the setup, I must put my chest on one side of the shroud and place my left hand on the other side to lift the shroud. A created a small handle to place on the shroud and ease placement/removal of the shroud.

Supplies
5233 mm Filament (i used PLA+)
2 - M4 x 12 screws
Step 1: Step 1: Create the Handle
Slice and print the handle (handle v6.stl) using an FFF 3d printer. My handle took just over an hour to print using a Robo 3dr1 plus.
Step 2: Step 2: Preparing the Shroud
Drill two holes in the shroud 60 mm apart using a 11/64" drill bit (tough to escape Imperial Units in the US).
Step 3: Step 3: Attach the Handle
Attach the handle to the shroud using the screws
