Mini Holder for Painting

thingiverse

I've just started getting into painting miniatures for D&D and decided that I could make my own paint handles rather than buy one or use a pill bottle. I settled on a cylinder that's a comfortable size for me, then set up a separate base plate to hold it level when I set the holder down with a mini on it. There is a small extrusion on the base plate to engage the handle and help keep it centered. Version 1.1 of the file also includes provisions to add 8mm x 3mm magnets for a more positive hold. (They're spaced far enough apart that it's still easy to pick up the handle with one hand.) The magnets should press right in with a screwdriver, if you're careful.
