The EFFEKTIV was a popular line of modular office furniture from IKEA that was discontinued in 2012. We're using an old EFFEKTIV cabinet as outdoor storage and the recessed metal handles were taking a beating exposed to the elements, paint flaking off and rusting. I wanted to replace both of them.
I designed a replacement handle for the EFFEKTIV in Fusion 360 that largely mimics the original part. The M4 thread holes were originally modeled in but did not turn out printable in our resolution (0.15 layer height with an 0.4 nozzle). In this version, I used self-tapping screws instead of the original bolts to fix the handles in place.
I have written a blog about this design here: https://style.oversubstance.net/2020/02/ikea-effektiv-replacement-handle/
