Summary

This is a painting handle capable of holding miniatures with bases of 25mm as well as 32mm in diameter but not limited to this. The handle makes it much easier to hold a miniature during painting. It has 2 different slots for bases of different diameter. There is also a slot on the bottom where you could glue in a 10x1 magnet in order to stick it to some metallic surface (can lids?).

UPDATE 10 May 2018:
Version 3.3.3 uploaded. Many improvements are made to the design. Among them are:

  • Caps design is changed and is now less prone to breaks
  • Center point of the slot for 25mm bases is shifted so now bases are held much better
  • Pins are added to the sides of the handle so it is easier to open
  • All parts are oriented correctly so no need to rotate them before printing

Old version of the handle is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ifzvas87bq0xauw/Painting_Handle_V3.1.zip?dl=0

UPDATE 10 March 2018:

  • Added 0.2mm chamfer to the handle to prevent formation of 'elephant foot'

UPDATE 5 March 2018:

  • gap between Handle and Platform increased from 0.2 to 0.3 mm
  • chamfers added to the Cap
