Minature Painting Holder System 25MM-80MM

I wanted a quick change 1 handed airbrush/painting handle to accommodate a large range of miniatures with a very strong arm to rest my painting hand.  The base has a print in place bearing and spins freely by itself.  The top and bottom of the base accommodate a 15mmx3mm magnet to use either side of the holder as a base for the tops.  The tops each use 1x 15mmx3mm magnet and hold securely in place.   

**Supports are only needed for the arm opening on the holder.  Do not change from the provided manual supports. Any support changes may cause the bearing to seize.   To easily remove the supports, first use your scraper at the top and bottom of the opening, then pull the supports out with needle-nose pliers.   The bottom magnet support will come out easily with pliers.  

Both arms will work with all 3 holders.  The large holder is suitable for 40-80MM models.  The 32MM holder is suitable for 40-25MM models.  The Nub holder…Well sometimes all that's needed is a Nub.  The arm is a tight fit and will be difficult to push in.  It will support my entire hand/arm weight.  

I can batch out 20-30 miniatures while never putting down the airbrush, swapping out the magnetic tops makes it effortless.  

Any base can have a magnet added in the center to work directly with this holder.  Starbucks frap lids work well which is what I was using prior to making this holder.  

I use Gorilla Mounting Putty to secure the model to the top or base.  It doesn't dry out quickly like other model putty.  Double sided tape works well on most models.  

The facehugger in the picture is an awesome print and I highly recommend checking out Faran3D's prints.  https://makerworld.com/en/models/621817#profileId-545892
