These are instructions for making 7/8" handlebar grips for bikes. I plan on using them for my 1982 Honda motorcycle.

Supplies

3D printer (I use a Monoprice Delta Pro)

Tinkercad

TPU

Make a solid cylinder with a 2.5" outer diameter and 1" tall. Now make it 64-sided, with a 2.5 bevel and 10 segments to make it have a smooth radius.

Make a large hole cube. Then set it so the top is flush with the build plate. Lower the cylinder halfway down and group the 2 shapes.

Next make a hole torus with a 2.25" outer diameter and 1" tall. Then align it up with the other shape in X and Y and set the height to 3/8" above the build plate. Now group the 2 shapes. Shrink the height to .25".

Make a box 0.020" x 1.25" and 4" tall. Duplicate it and rotate 5.625° on the Z axis. Duplicate it 30 more times. Now group all 32 of the boxes together.

Now raise the 4" tall shape to 0.200" above the build plate. Align in x, and y group with the other shape.
