prusaprinters

<p>This is a new version of my miniVICE Miniature holder painting and hobby system.</p><p>old one: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/214734-minivice-y-series-modular-miniature-holder-paintin">https://www.printables.com/model/214734-minivice-y-series-modular-miniature-holder-paintin</a></p><p>This one has 4 jaws allowing support for both round and square bases in the one holder. Additionally, you no longer require the metal pins of the previous version. It is, however, only slightly harder to print, I had to use rafts to print the collets/jaws. It uses a 70mm rubber band. You could experiment with a hair elastic maybe.</p><p>More details to come with more detailed instructions.</p><p>For now, it assembles much the same way as the Y-Series version.
