Here it is! What do you guys think? Any suggestions to improve the design? Can customize with text up to 5 characters long. Thanks.

Interesting handle idea. I'm curious...how does it attach?

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

Looks great! The two color black and red combo, steps it up a bit. Also, being a weber fan, like the chunky letter style on the one attached to the lid, it just seems more OEM.

Looks cool. I like how you're trying diff designs. I am curious about the filament. Is it material that you can sand and it becomes smooth?

There is a hex nut embedded into the handle during mid-print. The metal damper tab on the grill needs to be drill to take the included screw and washers.

Yes, the prints can be sanded but it is not easy. I have seen people coat it with CA glue and then sand that to a smooth finish. I try my best to get is as smooth as possible by a couple coats of high build primer before painting.
