Painting Handle with Removable Brush Rests for Miniatures
This custom 3D model is designed for miniature painters, offering a versatile painting handle compatible with both pop bottle tops and Gatorade/sports drink tops. The model integrates elements from two existing designs, with modifications for enhanced functionality and ease of use.
Key Features:
- Multi-Cap Compatibility: The handle is designed to securely fit either a standard pop bottle top or a Gatorade/sports drink top, giving you flexibility depending on the size of your miniature.
- Secure Attachment: Miniatures can be attached to the bottle tops using double-sided tape (such as Alien Tape) or putty, providing a stable base for painting.
- Stable Design: The bottom of the handle has been flattened slightly to ensure it can sit stably on a surface without tipping over.
- Enhanced Braces: The braces have been modified for easy insertion and removal, allowing you to customize your setup based on your painting needs.
- Gatorade Cap Adapter: An adapter has been added to enable the use of larger Gatorade tops, offering a broader base for painting larger models.
Assembly Instructions:
- This adaptation allows you to print each part and assemble it as shown in the provided Blender file.
- To affix the pop bottle top to the handle, you can use a small screw or superglue.
- Using a screw provides a removable connection, while superglue makes attaching and detaching the Gatorade top adapter easier but will prevent the braces from spinning.
With this versatile setup, you can paint your D&D miniatures to your heart's content, enjoying both stability and convenience in your painting process.
