The insert is 5/8" long. I made the hole 0.650" deep and have had no issues.

The knurling on the brass "should" be enough to keep the insert in, but since I print in ABS, I use a q-tip to coat the inside of the hole with acetone. Then when I press the insert in, it's got a nice soft surface that really conforms to the knurling. Then you've got a pretty solid fit.

I'll print whatever you want on the sides, so yes, I can make a blank handle as well. Check out the Gallery of 3D Printed Tap Handles for ideas.

Sorry I've been late to respond. The insert is this: E-Z LOK 260-6-BR (3/8"-16 brass insert) You can get them at Amazon or McMaster Go to my Thingiverse "thing" to get more details. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:542537 3/8-16 is the standard threading for most faucets.

I'm glad you like it. The font was a challenge, but I learned a few things getting it to work and I'm happy to have gained some new knowledge.

Awesome! I'm glad to see you like them. I figured they would be a good bar decoration as well.

Yes, I think I'll be making them for a while. Check out my link on the first post and let me know. Through the site preferred. No shame in tried and trusted wood and metal. I made some out of wood and metal too: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f252/super-easy-tap-handles-477028/ Pretty...

It was basically these GE lights I got at Lowe's. http://www.lowes.com/pd_394521-41681-97416LO_0__?productId=3827571 The size was similar to some Phillips branded lights I got a few years ago and some other lights also matched in diameter. Additional info: There is a standard with these kind...

I'm offering the printing service for those who want them. Just go to my blog post and there is a link to get them. http://fermware.com/merry-christmas-hoppy-new-year/

Sorry, not into that scene. The 3D printing is definitely not the way to go for mass production and this is more for fun now than anything.

Now that I've gotten quite a few 3D printed tap handles done, the ideas kept coming, so I made some 3D printed Hop Cone Christmas Light Covers. I started with the hop model I made for the tap handles, then hollowed it out and through a few iterations, I got the proper internal tabs to slide...

Awesome! Glad to hear you like it.

Yes, dual extrusion for the black handle and the letters. The icons are printed separately and glued in.

Printing the tap handles took longer than anticipated, but the results have turned out great. Along the way, I improved the geometry of the hop to reduce the voids in the print and I also experimented with clear filament and was able to modify the flask to really look like a flask with a...

I've got the files up on Thingiverse for anyone to download. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:542537 And I'm also about done with the first round of handles that people ordered, so I can make more for those that are interested.

CAD renderings have gone out for approval to those that made it in for the first round of prototypes. I hope to have more slots open later this week and have STL files posted on Thingiverse.
