Designed for my brother to paint minitures printed with his resin printer. A miniture painting handle inspired by a few previous designs and then built upon.
Required:
M6x80 - M6x120 screws and bolt - depending on the model size you are painting. M6x80 is perfect for models between 20mm to (approx) 52mm bases:
2xSprings. Measuring 34mm x 6mm. These are inserted with just the right pressure to help unscrew. Springs with moderate tension work the best I've found. My set was a multi purpose one from Amazon.
Printing:
Designed to print on FDM, print the files as they import @ 0.20. Printed @ 10% infil on the base and 30% infil on the rest. Supports as below:
Assembly:
- Insert M6x80 through knob and add a dab of glue to lock
- Add a touch more glue and then insert knob cap
- Add M6 nut into sliding section hole, nut sits flush with base (pokey hole underneath so you can poke it back out and put it in correctly :D )
- Screw handle into top section
- Insert springs into slots and slide onto rails.
- Rejoice while painting stuff
All my models are free to download and remix as you see fit, however if you would like to support me please take a look at my Printables Club where all my Fusion360 design files are available to Club members.
