Info My parameterized (printable) 'semi-soft' Goodman handle design

[ChrisMBC]

That's a really sleek design. I checked and there isn't much discussion on here about how PETG holds up to saltwater/environment. Let us know how your prints hold up over time. Thanks!

I've had some 100% infill PETG parts in use for 2+ years/200 dives, with zero issues.

I've had some test prints of ASA Aero, ABS, and PETG 'marinading' in a salt water pressure pot @ 9 bar for the last week - going to leave for a month and then re-test the breaking strength

Oooohhhh. Sounds like science!

I'm pretty interested in this design. How much dive time have you put on it so far? Any issues you've hit yet?

I’ve done 10ish dives with it (with the DGX 6 degree light, which has no mounting hole for a regular handle) and had zero issues so far. I find it as easy to slip on and off as a regular hard Goodman, but a little more stable when it’s on my hand. All in all, I have some obvious confirmation bias, but I think it’s a pretty solid solution that should actually be more robust than most other handles (no screws to fall out, no tools required for adjustment).

I think @grantmac has also been diving one on a canister light?

I've been using these handles on two different canister lights (DR and UWLD) and a handheld (XTAR).
Prefer them to a hard Goodman. They go between my canisters without adjustment.
