Modular Model Painting Handle This affordable alternative to Citadel's $8 Model Painting Handle was designed and tested this week by me. Its modular design makes it very easy to print in sections as needed, allowing you to leave out the finger rest if desired or even the handle for a dowel rod mount. Assembly requires only a rubber band and a size 8 screw (1 inch or longer). It's designed to hold base plates of around 25mm (D&D size) up to around 32mm (Warhammer 40K standard size), but you can scale it up and use a bigger screw for larger models. Suggested printing: Supports - not needed unless perfect round bore holes are desired. Shell - 2 layers for strength and to prevent bad edging. Resolution - I used a 0.4mm nozzle with 0.3mm layer height for fast printing. Infill - 26% tri-hexagon is what I almost always use, but the handle only needs about 14% tri-hexagon infill. Build Plate Adhesion - Brim is suggested, especially for the Side Extension (finger rest).
