Description
Newer Version Available
Made many improvements. Leaving this version up as its still useful and works well. Newer version is more secure and has many improvements but this version is simpler and allows for better interchangeability when working on multiple miniatures. Something I had to move away from to make it stronger and secure.
Updates
Update 4/7/2020: added cork holder, use size 9 corks (most used in commercial wine bottles), screw-down into place and secure with a pin underneath.
This is a new version of my miniVICE Miniature holder painting and hobby system.
old one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2976476
This one has 4 jaws allowing support for both round and square bases in the one holder. Additionally, you no longer require the metal pins of the previous version. It is, however, only slightly harder to print, I had to use rafts to print the collets/jaws. It uses a 70mm rubber band. You could experiment with a hair elastic maybe.
More details to come with more detailed instructions.
For now, it assembles much the same way as the Y-Series version. View its detailed instructions here:

NOTE: in this version, the collets are numbered because the way in which they are installed matters. install them 1 to 4 sequentially anticlockwise or the chuck will not work
There are also several versions of the collets
small collet:
large collet:
combo collet:

would love feedback on these
