A fully 3d printed chuck style model painting handle that doesn't require any purchased hardware like my last model.

The 3mf file contains all the parts oriented properly for printing as well as supports and support blockers for easy printing, as well as properly named.

The STL is the fully assembled model which will need to be separated into parts and reoriented to be used.

The jaws should be printed hook end down on the print bed you only need 3 of one size of jaw. There are variants for 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm height as well as a small and large diameter.

Small size jaws fit approximately 23mm to 45mm. 
Large size jaws fit approximately 33mm to 57mm.

Handle, no support needed, a fuzzy skin modifier is included in the 3mf file for a more textured grip.

Socket plate, no supports needed, probably print with a brim to hold it more stable.

Nut plate, this needs supports for the inner cutouts, so a supports from build plate should be enough.

 

To assemble:

  1. Screw the socket plate with the spiral grooves to the top of the handle.
  2. Snap the nut plate with the flange onto the socket plate.
  3. Rotate the nut plate so that the end of the spiral groove is visible at the outer end of the slot.
  4. Insert jaws so that the peg fits into the spiral groove and it moves inward when the nut plate is rotated.
  5. Jaws can be removed and swapped out when fully extended.

2022-01-23 Added a version of the slotted disc with a knurled edge that protrudes out from the top plate so that a knurled edge is still accessible and the entire head assembly can still be unscrewed.
