Summary

I created this painting tool so that I could paint some miniature light fittings for a diorama that use 5mm LEDs. The light fittings slip over the spikes - so you may paint up to seven at a time.

Since this model is utilitarian, It does not matter what type of printer or print settings you use, as long as it is good enough to do the job that you need. You may rescale the model as required. I printed mine at 100% using a resin printer - note that the base in the photo has not printed flat, and the support witness marks are still visible.

After use, clean the painting tool using a suitable solvent. I found that acetone is suitable for spray-paint.
