Objvoiuly you could redesign the handle to use some parallel sides and it would be easy to make. But I assume this is an exercise Repair would be the easy way to go. Mill off the broken fork side and use a plate to replace it taach the plate with small screws. 3D printing would be easy and you

This has nothing to do with LCNC specifically. Really more a how to use LCNC. The attached picture is of a broken tripod crank handle that clearly was a casting. I can't figure out how I'd hold the raw stock to machine it. The slot would be easy. But the angles and tapers and curves
