Voron 2.4 X-Handle

They look good and sturdy but my first set cracked on its own after 5 minutes (just sitting there), I solved it by transforming the upper holes in an open slots (see picture).

@XVIIarcano Thanks for the reply! I will try to look into this, because it should not tilt at all when tightening the side bolts.

@JSB_500251 it is the same isue Heizie reported in his make as well.
I do not have the cracked parts any more,but I had the very same issue.

Mine was Esun ABS+ on an original misumi frame.
My suspect is that tightening the side screws, the handle wants to tilt outwards, menaing that when you tighten the upper screws a lot of stress is generated and since it is across the layers, it delaminates instead of simply deforming.

I fixed this by turning the upper holes in one slots because this way that stress does not happen, while the head of the screw still holdis down on the handle.

@XVIIarcano Thanks for the review! Could You post a picture where did it crack? And what material did You use?
I think I will have to look into this issue...
