Once assembled, the Felting Needle Holder is intended to be held in the hand.
To assemble the Felting Needle Holder, the needle is inserted into the bottom of the ball. The threaded connector is used to fasten it in place and then the top is attached.
When the holder is not in use, the cover can be inserted over the needle to cover the sharp point.
The Felting Needle Holder may be useful for people with limited hand strength and/or dexterity. This may include people with arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and stroke survivors. The device may also be helpful for children.
This is a simple build that consists of four 3D printed parts. Print in the given orientation. No support is required.
