Filament Grass Painting Handle

If you like that Painting Handle from that one company with a very smooth rotation here is a small Tutorial to modify a Potentiometer to create your own.

Step 1 - Get a Potentiometer

Not just any the Cheap Metal kind, check if you find one with a long shaft

The original RGG Handle has one about 12mm long

Step 2 - Cut it down

remove the taps with strong wire cutters - DO NOT USE HOBBY NIPPERS

If you do not care about full 360° Action you can go to Step 4

Step 3a - Open the Taps

Use a small flat tool to open the taps that hold on the bottom

Step 3b - Fix the Rotation

There should be a indent in the bottom that looks like this

when you did remove the bottom use a small screwdriver or something similar and press this out

it should look like this

Step 3c - Reattach the bottom and close the Taps

Put the bottom back on and close the Taps

Step4 - Press the slit together

You need to press the slit together so the toppers fit properly

Step 5 - Glue into Top

And then you glue that potentiometer into the 3D Printed Part and glue it on top of something that is around 30mm in diameter

Step 6 - add Magnet to handle

i use two 20mmx2mm magnets to make it extra strong

Step 7 - Then Glue that on top of the handle

Done

now print some RGG Tops
