Cork Painting Assistant

thingiverse

I paint miniatures, and I drink wine. Sooo... using corks, as a handle, for painting miniatures, just seemed to be making good use of a resource I had plenty of. A little blue tak (poster putty) and I figured I would be good to go. ...except, I found old corks can crumble when removing blue tak, and newer cheaper corks, are a rubbery material, that the blue tak wasn't sticking well to, and if I wasn't careful, some minis ended up being top heavy, and would fall over. But hey, we are 3D printers and designers! I can easily design a base, and a top cap, that are super quick and easy to print out, that turn my corks into great painting assistants/handle. A little glue, and you are good to go. Simple, plentiful, easy, and functional.
