This design offers a low profile handle for the hinged lid add-on originally designed by the Prusa Research team for the Original Prusa Enclosure.
Handle Features
Simple and Discreet: The low profile design minimizes protrusion, creating a cleaner look that seamlessly integrates with the enclosure's aesthetic.
Maintains Functionality: Despite its low profile, the handle offers a comfortable grip for easy opening and closing of the hinged lid.
Design Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from the original Prusa Enclosure hinged lid design and the remix by Petr Zikmund, this low-profile handle merges functionality with a minimalist aesthetic.
While Zikmund's remix offered a lower profile handle, it required a complete shift in the lid's opening mechanism. This design takes elements from both approaches, preserving the original functionality of the hinged lid system while introducing a lower profile handle for a cleaner overall look.

Printing
Print orientation: I've printed several parts in the design process and I've tried several printing orientations, the orientation I've found that works best for print quality and that prints best is this:
Print settings:
Layer height: I've used 0.2mm for a cleaner look, but 0.3mm should be good as well
Filament: Since this part will handle a bit of stress, I've only tested with PETG with good results
Infill: Around 20/25%grid infill
Perimeters: The original design and the remix mention 8 perimeters in general, but I feel that for this part it's a bit overkill, I've had good results with 3 perimeters.
