Model Paint Stand With Changeable Weight Cartridge

youmagine

I reworked an earlier design of mine, giving it a fresh look while making the weight component easily swappable. Once printed, you can insert any type of weight into the center of the plug - I used pennies but nickels or glass beads would also work perfectly. Then simply screw it into the base and you're done. If you ever need to change the weight, just unscrew the plug and remove some of the weights. For added stability, I recommend hot gluing the weights into place so they don't shift around when you want to switch things up - all you'll need to do is print a new plug piece with different weights. To use the stand, apply some poster tack to the top and attach your model to it.
