Motorised Painting Handle
In danger of scope creep
I’m still not sure about this. I quite like it. But I’m not sure it’s entirely necessary. In which case, I’m not entirely convinced it needs to stay. But, it is pretty cool!
An archway of LEDs helps reduce (note, not necessarily completely eliminate, but does reduce) shadows across the miniature.
There are two ways to further reduce shadows: increase the quantity/intensity of the LEDs (which could then become an issue if they shine directly at your face while painting) or to reduce the size of the “arch” to put the LEDs closer to the miniature.
So far we’ve got three-degrees-of-freedom (I think). There are two motors in the horizontal direction, but one of them is connected to an upright which tilts backwards and forwards (so isn’t necessarily fixed in the horizontal plane).
I might keep the third axis (though it works perfectly well with just two) I’m just not sure about the LED ring. Comments….?
