Miniature Painting Stand

pinshape

Based on the one you saw here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:354125, I rebuilt it from scratch. This device allows you to easily hold and position a miniature while painting. The base is designed for 25mm scale models. I have shared this under a non-commercial license. However, anyone has the right to sell this as long as they inform me that they are selling it. UPDATES: I added a glue-down-plate that you can stick a miniature to if you don't want to use one of my custom bases. The "Y" slot makes it easy to pop the miniature off when done. The plate is slightly larger than other diameters and knurled, allowing the miniature on top to be rotated without touching it. You can also stack the plates under a base. I also added a protective arm that accommodates this wider plate. Print Settings: Printer Brand - SeeMeCNCPrinter - Rostock MAXRafts - Doesn't MatterSupports - Doesn't MatterResolution - 0.2mm layers, 0.35mm nozzleInfill - 15%Notes: These are the settings I used, your mileage may vary. Assembly Instructions: Print one of each piece. The "magnet miniature base" should be glued to the bottom of your miniature with the hole facing down. Color it accordingly. If you don't want to put a base on your miniature, ignore the "magnet" parts and just glue a miniature to the base unit. Or design your own holder base and use that. The Base Unit gets flipped over with the open end facing down. The arm gets put in the slot and glued. The magnet plate gets put on top (clean side to clean side). Note: I made this plate separate so different plates could 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 10mmx1mm round magnets glued into it. Or one 10mmx2mm magnet. The magnet miniature base also gets magnets glued into it (Make sure the polarity of the magnets matches before gluing) and gets glued to the bottom of your miniature. You can now attach the magnets and the miniature should hold.
