Model Painting Handle

prusaprinters

<p>After printing out some miniatures on my printer I remembered how much of a pain in the ass it was to hold them while painting.</p> <p>So When I was searching for miniature painting handles I found <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2669896">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2669896</a> and thought it could use a few tweaks to make it so you didn't have to glue things together after printing, and then I found I wanted a much smaller head so I could paint the feet of my miniatures without the tool getting in the way, so I made a second size.</p> <p>Large size holds 20-40mm base figures.<br/> Small size is 30mm max.<br/> Both use a 1/4-20 hex head bolt and nut, slip the nut in the knob and the bolt into the clamp piece and through the base, tighten as necessary.</p> <p>The clamp piece is probably the only thing that benefits from supports, as it has 8mm bridges.</p> <p>Note: A small extension spring placed over the bolt at the center of the unit will make the jaws open when it's unscrewed. No part number as it was out of a box of misc springs that's been in my house for years.</p> <p>2019-12-09 Added metric parts for the clamp pieces and the knob: They should fit an M6x50mm bolt and an m6 nut.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Category: Models</p>
