Wooden painting easel (based on 20 mm square timbers)

thingiverse

A simple painting easel. Beyond being super cheap, it is also very stable, since there is a special zig-zag mechanism for arms locking. It also folds very nicely and occupies as much space as a spirit lever.Despite the printable parts, you will also need ~2 meters of a 20 mm square timbers and a few M5 nuts with allen screws (with cylindrical head).The project focuses on the head of the easel - it took a severe amount of time to develop a connection that will be strong, easily-printable, and that would maintain correct angles between arms when unfolded. Parts constituting a head of the easel are intended to be FDM-printed.In addition I also upload so-called canvas holders. These were designed with SLA-printing in mind. The design is so simple that I highly encourage you to develop your own canvas holders suitable for FDM printers :)The easel is customizable after assembly - to adjust the angle of the canvas, you can easily shorten the middle leg to increase it (which is usually a good idea from my experience).Enjoy!
