Hobby Helper painting handle and pin vice for miniature modelers

About this project

The Hobby Helper is an all-in-one tool designed for miniature war gamers, modelers, and hobbyists who want better control, organization, and precision in their creative work. The client wanted essential hobby tools combined into a single, ergonomic solution, and we brought that vision to life.

What we did

  • Dual-function design: Combines a painting handle and a pin vice, letting users securely grip miniature models for detailed painting, drill precision holes with interchangeable bits, and swap parts or figures with minimal effort.

  • Complete product development: Enclosure design for ease of assembly and durability, an internal mechanism for smooth bit swapping and secure holding, and ergonomics for long painting or modeling sessions without hand fatigue.

  • Injection molding ready: The final design was fully optimized for plastic injection molding, ensuring it can be manufactured efficiently at scale.

  • Functional prototyping: A 3D printed prototype tested the product’s functionality, comfort, and bit-holding performance, resulting in a validated design ready for production.

This project demonstrates our ability to develop user-focused tools that combine practicality, innovation, and manufacturability, perfect for niche markets with passionate communities.
