Design concept

The painting handle is crafted for stability and comfort, allowing hobbyists to smoothly maneuver miniatures of 32-65mm bases while painting. This handle allows the hobbyist to paint the miniature from different angles and positions without messing up the paint job on the mini.

Purpose

This tool is designed to hold miniature figures securely during painting, giving added stability, aiding in precision and reducing shaking and thus enhancing artistic expression. Includes a top with movable clamp, a thin armed brace, a wide shield type brace and a base handle, which can be secured by rubber bands or small hair ties (see pictures).

Printing advice

Print with PLA or ABS, 3-4 walls, with 20-25%% infill for durability. Utilize supports for the handle curve for optimal strength.

Assembly instructions

User-friendly, snap-fit design requires 4 each rubber bands or small black hair ties, for assembly. Use one rubber band to lock in the sliding clamp onto the top piece. Put the top piece on top of the main handle and use 3 rubber bands to secure the top piece onto the base handle. If you want to use a brace simply add a brace between the base handle and the top piece. Adjust the thumb clamp to accommodate various miniature base sizes.
