Flexible Wooden Stick Grip for Bead & Miniature Painting

Tired of dropping wooden beads while painting?
Struggling to hold tiny parts without touching wet paint?

This flexible TPU cone holder slides onto a standard wooden skewer and creates a soft friction grip — perfect for holding small craft pieces securely while you paint, varnish, or detail.

Simple. Cheap. Extremely useful.

🎨 Perfect For

• 🟤 Painting wooden beads

• 🎲 Holding small craft parts

• 🧵 Jewelry making

• 🧩 Model parts

• 🧙 Miniature & figurine painting (with rear skewer hole mod)

💡 How It Works

The TPU cone compresses slightly when you press a bead or small object onto it, creating a firm but gentle friction fit.

For miniature painters:
You can excavate / drill a small hole at the back of the mini figure’s mounting hole — turning it into a flexible painting handle.

✅ Why TPU?

• Flexible grip

• No hard plastic scratching

• Reusable & durable

• Slight compression = better hold

• Easy to remove painted parts

🧵 Print Settings

• Material: TPU (recommended 95A)

• Infill: 100%

• Supports: Not required

• Orientation: Print upright (tip up)

• Layer Height: 0.2mm works great

📏 Fit

Designed for standard wooden skewers.
If yours are slightly different, scale accordingly.

🛠 Pro Tip

Print multiple and mount them on several skewers at once — it turns into a mini bead painting rack system.

I did have a model for that :
