Miniature Painting Stand

thingiverse

UPDATE: I suggest using this remake instead: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2035825, which is a better concept than mine and allows for larger miniature heights! Based on the one I saw at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:354125, I rebuilt it from scratch to create a 25mm base for scale. This design allows you to easily hold and position a miniature while painting. I have shared this under a non-commercial license, but I grant anyone permission to sell it as long as they inform me that they are selling it! UPDATES: I added a glue-down-plate with a "Y" slot to make it easy to pop off when done. I also made the plate slightly larger and knurled so the miniature on top can be rotated without touching it. Plus, you can stack the plates under a base! I also added a larger protective arm to accommodate this wider plate. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2mm layers, 0.35mm nozzle Infill: 15% Notes: These are the settings I used; your mileage may vary. Post-Printing Assembly Print one of each piece. Note that the "magnet miniature base" is meant to be glued to the bottom of your miniature with the hole down. Color it accordingly. If you don't want a base on your miniature, ignore the "magnet" parts and glue a miniature to the base unit, or design your own holder base. The Base Unit gets flipped over with the open end down. The arm goes into the slot and gets glued. The magnet plate goes on top (clean side to clean side). NOTE: I made this plate separate so different plates can be printed for different miniature base types without completely reinventing the holder. IE, you wouldn't want to use magnets with warhammer, etc. The hole in the top of the magnet stand gets 1-2 round magnets glued into it. The magnet miniature base also gets magnets glued into it (make sure the polarity matches before gluing) and gets glued to the bottom of your miniature. You can now attach the magnets and the miniature should hold!
