Dropped one of my wife's favorite mugs. Anyone up for a paid commission/challenge to print a new handle? Have you ever seen this work? Thanks!

It's hard to design something that'll fit cleanly with the existing break. It's not impossible, but I think it'd be easier to replace the mug with an identical one.
Do you still have the broken remains of the handle? If so, some epoxy or other strong adhesive might be able to do the trick.
Not possible, but thank you!
You'd be surprised what you can find on eBay and etsy by searching for the same thing every few months.
I broke my wife's favorite mug and found it on etsy despite it being something she got in Denmark.
