Awesome Patterned 3D Printed Paint Rollers

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Product design student and 3D Systems freelance designer Matthijs Kok has created a set of 3D printed patterned paint rollers. This collection of four patterns was developed to be printed on a Cube 3 or Cube Pro and, with the exception of the sponge foam paint roller itself, is entirely 3D printable. While Kok had originally envisioned the rollers for use only on walls, he soon discovered that the possibilities were much broader. By applying textile, magnetic, or chalkboard paint you can use them for projects from creating textiles to wrapping paper to freshening up furniture.

Great idea! I love these. I can see this small starter set expanding easily to other patterns usable by kids in art classes.
