Hello, the following designs are for 3D-Printed Lego minifigure stands, that provide an alternative to the official version. I put together 2 similar designs of stands, that allow you to slide a minifigure into a stand securing them without the need to click them into "stubs" that you would usually have to with Lego.

Supplies

CAD Software

A slicer for 3D Printing

3D Printer with Filament (in my case it was PLA)

Leg Measurments

Using a caliper I determined the measurements of a minifigures legs, feet, and toes. You can also look this information up online, but they can be slightly off.

Using both Fusion 360 and hand written notes, I built the First version layer by layer making sure i gave enough room for the legs and toes to slide through. For the second version i built similar to the first, but allowing for pegs to be able to fit into hole slots for additions to be added.

Print and Verify

Print either design, but be careful not to increase the scale in the slicer otherwise dimensions could be thrown off. Additionally dimensions can be slightly off so print one and verify it works.
