Nail polish applicator

Reupload from thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5484218

What is this?

It can help people with hand-tremor to apply nail polish more easily.
I have very shaky hands and usually applying nail polish ends in a mess all over my fingers. With this little helper it actually gets a lot easier.
I'm not sure it really helps people who don't have a hand-tremor but you can try!

How to build

Print:

• 1x Applicator_holder.stl

• 1x Applicator_stand.stl

• 2x Applicator_screw.stl

Then insert m3 nuts into the slots of the applicator_holder and the applicator stand.
Add a m3 bolt to the two applicator screws and secure it using a m3 nut.
Insert the applicator_holder into the applicator_stand joint and secure it using the applicator screws.
The other applicator screw is used to secure the nail polish brush part.

How to use

Secure the nail polish brush in the applicator_holder part as shown in the picture.
Dip the nail polish brush into the polish as you would usually do - you can do this with the brush attached to the applicator.
Place your finger on the applicator stand, now lower the brush with the joint until the brush touches the nail. Now pull back the finger to paint it. Repeat this with different angles until the whole nail is painted.

Notes

The maximum diameter of the nail polish brush cap is 20mm. (That worked for most of the brands i own)
It can take some time to get used to painting your nails like this.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
