Miniature Painting Fat Grip holder

cults3d

This miniature painting grip setup doesn't require any extra gluing, drilling, rubber bands, metal springs, magnets, etc. You just tape or temporarily glue your miniature to the miniature top model and either screw it to the far grip or add the handle to the small hole made for it. Thinking about it, you may need to glue the handle to the top since I didn't make any system to hold it in place but most prints come very tight and it hold itself there. Glue or don't at your discretion. The models don't need rafts (unless you have problems with your prints sticking) or supports of any kind. The infill amount was decided in case you have strong grips so it can hold the pressure and not break like a twig but this is a personal choice so change as you need it. The grip was modified from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2805001 with the screw pattern from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3097482 to be able to use the same flat tops for holding your miniatures for painting. I also liked the handle bars from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2992815 so I made a slight alteration to the flat top that holds the mini so you could add the modified handle and also use it like that. I will be adding a larger top for larger minis and other versions of the handle since they are so comfortable to hold and move with the mini while painting. Added a coke cap top to the files.
