Helping the "helping hands".

thingiverse

Every maker has one of those inexpensive "helping hands" with magnifier bases. They are great except for one problem. They tip over easily. So here is a simple base to widen the footprint of the helping hands making it virtually impossible to tip over. You can simply rotate the arms 180* to remove the helping hands from the base, tool free. I like M3-0.5 T10 screws so the arms are designed to fit the head of that screw. Most pan style head screws should work just fine. Link to the Helping Hands used: http://amzn.to/1TQV8rU Link to M3-0.5 16mm T10 screws: http://amzn.to/1OmL46g
