An ink stand allows you to set your cube inks (e.g., Hero Arts, mini cubes, and others) on your work area in a stable base so they don't move around while you work. You can put the whole cube in or just the cover while you are using the ink. Holds 3 items - cubes or covers. The 3mf has 12.5x5.25mm magnet holes that can be filled or ignored. If you have a magnetic work surface, this can provide more stability and can allow this to be stored on a metal surface such as a steel pegboard.
