model holder for painting

thingiverse

I have now included a variation of the handle, designated as handle2.stl. This modification essentially extends the component that fits into the base. The additional 4mm allows the tray to rotate all the way around without colliding with the handle, enabling you to rotate the model fully using your thumb. A reproduction and remix of JtStrait72's figure painting system has been undertaken. The handle is a direct copy of JtStrait72's file, which surprisingly proves comfortable to use. Unfortunately, my small magnets proved inadequate for securely holding the tray and base together. To address this issue, I decided to utilize 22x4mm, 20x4mm, and 18x4mm (fridge) magnets instead, which were readily available in the craft section of Bunnings - Australia. The base and tray have been simplified and resized to accommodate these magnet sizes, with a direct magnet-to-magnet contact implemented rather than relying on plastic. This modification has resulted in a secure connection that functions as intended. This version is more focused on a single task compared to JtStrait72's system, which offers greater versatility and options. A side note: this design represents the 4th generation remake of the 'Wargame: Miniatures holder' (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:354125), a model I had printed in the past. The trays included in this version have significantly improved its usability, according to my opinion.
