Had two suitcases where the handle would not pull out anymore. We were leaving the next day so I opened them up to see what the issue was. During previous trips the tubes for the handle had been bent which made the handle lose it's functionality.
Used a Dremel tool to cut a 1 inch section of the bent tubing out and then printed this new tube that was 2cm thick as a replacement. I just slid the tube in and then duct taped it in place. After a MI to FL trip via air, I cut open the tape to find out it survived just fine.
Will probably still get new luggage, but it was nice to know that it was fixable if you were in dire times.
