Decided to try designing a painting handle, since I've just been using whatever I had laying around. I originally uploaded this to Thangs, and figured I should put it here as well.

The small size is the original and a friend who liked it asked for one that was 10% larger.  I tested it just scaling it in the slicer to 110% and it worked great, so that's all I did for this larger version.

This prints in two pieces, the base and the top, and snaps together after printing to allow the top to spin freely. The small version has a .25mm clearance, and the large has a .275 clearance.  If you want to try printing in place, feel free if you know your printer can handle that tight clearance.  My original prints were done with Creality Basic PLA on my Ender 3 S1 Plus and I had to print separately.  I have since printed a few more on my X1C, but have not attempted to print them in place with that.

I am including step files because I wish everyone included step files to make it easier to remix and modify.
