Miniature Model Painting Handle

thingiverse

This is a remix of SLYNX's design. I added a considerable amount of changes to the original design so now it basically holds the similar shape and assembly design but with my spin on things. Items I added: Hand Piece - I have 2 options. Wide and normal. both have finger holds so you can pinch at different places. I also added curves to make this more comfortable for longer holding sessions. Mount piece - I adjusted this to also have a more comfortable rounded tab as a pinch point for your thumb or other fingers as needed. Handle - This is where I designed things a bit differently. I moved away from the press fit design of the original model and instead opted to leverage screw threads. This allows for easier assembly and allows the user to control if the model and pivot on that axis or not. In addition I added a threaded top piece that will accept standard Bottle caps to allow for easy changes to model being painted. Lastly I did add a file for a 3D printed bottle cap for those that don't drink beverages with the correct bottle cap. I will likely be selling these under my Etsy site www.leadlaprc.com here soon for those that don't wish to or are unable to print these themselves. The parts were designed with FDM printing in mind. Personally I leverage PETG in my testing as that material allows for some additional flex compared to PLA but this should print fine in most filament types. No supports should be needed as the rounded edges are not very sharp so post processing should be minimal.
