A simple mini holder for easy painting.

The handle itself will only work with 50mm bases, but there are adapters for 40mm and 32mm.

Print two handle halves and just add a couple of rubber-bands to hold them together.

The handle half has 4 holes (two large, two narrow) on its inner side. These are designed to hold a piece of 1.75mm filament to serve as an alignment guide when closing the handle. They are sized to be a press fit on my machine using my settings, so you might have to enlarge them a little bit (scrapping using knife or a hand drill works well), or use super glue. Just be sure to put the filament in the narrow holes or you won't be able to close the handle.

There is also a big hole on the bottom, so it can be put on a support for priming and such.

Assuming you are printing the handle flat side down, supports are required, but only for the claw part.
