This is a full replacement for a laundry basket handle on some Sterilite models. While this design was drawn from scratch, I reverse-engineered Wheesir's model heavily:

The two designs are not interchangeable. Some Sterilite baskets have a bit over 28 mm from the thick mounting web to the next reinforcing web (see picture). That's this design. If that dimension is different on your basket, use a different handle model. You will need to trim away all of the handle back to its vertical mounting surface. A sturdy knife works well.
This part is optimized to print on its side. You'll need a pretty big build platform for it, but it will still work if you cut the ends back so that there's only one narrow slot per side. PLA will probably be just fine, but I printed mine in PCTG.
The picture shows zip ties to hold the handle in place. You may not need anything (it's a good friction fit), but there are grooves for ties. Adhesives are u
