Miniature Holder Painting Aid

thingiverse

None of the mini holders I found on thingiverse seemed to fit my needs, so I made my own. This works well for my stubby fingers. Print one of everything except for the bases, those you'll want to print multiples of so you can swap out miniatures for assembly line painting. I use blue poster tack to stick the mini to the bases. You'll need at least 2 of [these magnets](https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D72-N52) from K&J (or wherever). Put a dab of super glue in the hole of the main body (its up underneath as shown in the picture). Place a magnet in there. Next, put a dab of glue in one of the bases, set it atop the main body with the hole facing up, and drop a magnet in there. These magnets are CRAZY strong, so be careful! Pull the base off and continue until all bases have a magnet. Glue the finger grip into the slot of the main body. Its a pretty snug fit from my ultimaker, so it should stay in well until the glue sets. I didn't glue the handle extender in just in case I wanted to change the style or length of it, instead using a large blob of blue poster tack. Happy painting!
