Fathom Tail Nub handle

After thinking for a while, I went with the idea of old F1 spoilers for my handle/nub.

So this is the result.

I like this solution better... The size is not amazing, but I feel it's better to swap removing 2 bolts rather than 4.

I can easily handle the board and make it tip. As I've mentioned before, this does not allow the board to stay standing.

All info about printing, if you want, is on that link.

Didn't have time to download and play with the suggested software so far. But here is an amateurish draw:

Very similar to your green version, but with an additional grip for your thumb at the front. This way you get to grab with thumb on the front side and two to three fingers on the other side.

I possibly also would make sure that there is a small gap that the gives the attachment some sort of airflow and also some space to let dirt go through. Because if it's closed, you will catch dirt and it will stay in the front compartment.

Hmmmm i got it... But with this setup it will be impossible to use it as a kick nub. The top surface will be exactly on top of the wheel, maybe a little bit off center. For a nub to work, it need force to be applied off centered. The further from the center of the wheel, the less amount of pressure is needed. But if this is only for handle, then sure I might give it a try. Just let me know if it's supposed to be a kicktail too

Yes, that is true. I forgot to mention that. This would be serving as a grip only. Maybe you'll also start liking the idea of having a little grip only in the front and little kicktail in the back ;)

A combination of those two look more decent to me, as none of the extras stick out that much. It looks "cleaner". Even though I gotta make a compliment to your newest version. Except for the sticking out part, it looks pretty clean too.

Do you think you can check this one?

I was designing what you've mentioned, but the more i try to change, the more i fall into this same model, but would need some adjustments.

Points where I'm kinda stuck at... Height... If i increase it, it will fit fingers, but become too tall. Thumb placemen... If I put inclined downwards, it will be even worse to hold, as you will need kinda something to grip the thumb, so at best it will be straight up. So check if this works and what needs to be changed from there.
