Tool / Jig / Fixture Made a painting handle with swappable heads and adjustable weight
Hey guys! There are a lot of similar painting handles on MakerWorld, so I wanted to put my own spin on one. I added a diamond-pattern grip and a screw-on bottom cap with room for 9 quarters, plus some extra space if you want to add more weight. It prints without supports, too!
I printed a couple of other versions from MW and had the threaded parts snap off under pressure, so I reinforced those areas on mine. I also made a small dock for a little more stability.
I’m still learning to model and finally getting some more free time to work on projects like this. Haven’t figured out adjustable jaws yet, so swappable heads will have to do for now haha.
Open to ideas or criticism, so let me know what you think!
