**Improved Crank Handle**

This improved version of the crank handle splits the print into multiple parts to take advantage of the layer adhesion strength. While the original handle can break relatively easy at the neck, this version can withstand much greater forces.

**Key Features:**
- **Fully 3D Printed:** No additional supports or external parts needed.
- **Modular Design:** Easily integrates with other Gearfinity modules.
- **Practical and Fun:** Create a functional fan to cool off during the summer and learn about mechanical design principles.

**Assembly Instructions:**
1. **Print the Parts:** Download and print all necessary STL files (watch the video for part quantities).
  - HINT: You'll need the [Planetary Gear Stage](https://than.gs/m/1076241) ;)
2. **Prepare for Assembly:** Gather a small flathead screwdriver or knife for separating parts, and wire cutters/snips or needle-nose pliers for removing pins.
3. **Follow the Video:** Watch the assembly video above for step-by-step instructions.
4. **Enjoy Your Creation:** Once assembled, use the fan module to stay cool during hot summer days or integrate it into larger Gearfinity projects.
