Painting Handle with Screw Lock
thingiverse
I've always printed miniatures only for decoration and not to play tabletop games. Therefore never had the need for painting handles which have been designed for the typical miniature-disks. Now a friend of mine gifted me some official miniatures with 32mm disks and I wanted to print an handle to paint those minis. So I quickly designed an imperfect version for myself, which does not depend on additional fixation like rubberbands. Just place the modeldisk, press the slider onto the disk and fixate the position with the bottom screw. **[Printing]** You can print "Slider 2.stl" and "Handle.stl" separately and screw/glue them together as I did. Or you print "SliderAndHandle.stl" sideways with supports, which will result in a stronger print but wastes material. **[UPDATES]** 06.09.2022: ** OLD MODELS REMOVED! Sorry for the chaos...** - I noticed the handle was just to small for my hands and increased to 150%. - Got annoyed by the fact I had to print supports for the "Slider 1.stl", so I made it bigger that it could be printed upside-down without supports. Also the sliding block itself has been shortened to save material. - Both sliders have been made a little bigger to increase strength and are now curved to grab the disk better - Screw has a bigger head now 08.09.2022: Added "Slider 1 V4" which is even stronger and fits a little tighter to reduce upper movement when it's getting locked by the screw. Also added the .rsdoc (Designspark Mechanical) and .dxf (AutoCAD) files if anyone wants to remix the design. I won't further adapt the design now, promised ;)
