Crafting Mug/Glass Stand

thingiverse

Use these end caps, 1/2 pvc pipe, and some pipe insulation to create a table top stand for working on mugs or glasses. Great for use when making custom mugs using your Cricut or other vinyl cutter. Keeps the workpiece flat and stable on its side, while you apply vinyl, or infusible ink paper. Designed for 1/2" PVC conduit or pipe, but should work with any 0.840" outer diameter pipe. To keep the pipes form slipping out , 2 holes are provided for a #8x1/2" wood screws. I find a 1/8" pilot hole in the PVC works well. Alternative to screws is to glue/epoxy the parts in. Or, depending on your printer tolerances, the fit might be tight enough on on its own.
