Painting Handle Helper

thingiverse

Painting miniatures can be challenging if you don't have a reliable way to hold them steady. Printing my ergonomic handle with a swivel neck and quick release base plate will make your next painting season a breeze. Print out multiple base plates so you can rapidly switch between pieces, offering various sizes to suit your needs. Table stands are also available to keep the handle stable without worrying about it tipping over. Assembly requires a single M4 15mm bolt and an M4 washer. Insert the M4 bolt into the hole at the top of the handle, ensuring it spins freely. If necessary, drill out the hole slightly. Next, place the washer on the bolt and insert it into the handle, so the bolt protrudes from the top. Now, thread on the quick release swivel, adjusting the bolt to allow for smooth spinning. Finally, attach a base plate to the quick release swivel. To secure your model in place, consider using non-drying putty like Blu-Tack, hot glue, or double-sided foam tape.
