Presentation Stand - 3D Printed

If you are looking for a presentation stand for a special object ... this one might be it!. The different 3D models shown in the video or in the pictures give you an impression how it could look like. Of course the possibilities of 3D printing are not as manifold as shown in the video.

The transparent nylon thread makes it look like the plate is floating between the open arcs.

Dimensions: L200 x H158 x W160mm. Base Ø 80mm, plate Ø 105mm.

There are 4 files to print for this object:

• Arc_big.stl
• Arc_small.stl
• Base.stl
• Plate.stl

After you have printed these parts ...

Remark: As all parts are designed to fit very precisely, it may happen that you have to rework one or the other part a bit with sandpaper and/or cutter due to different dimensional accuracy of the printers and the different behavior of the filaments.

The plate is held in position by 4 nylon threads. For the assembling you need:

• Nylon thread Ø 0,35mm
• Superglue

• Some patience ;-) … when positioning the plate

Start by gluing the big arc into the base. I used superglue. A small bulge in the middle of the arc will help you with the alignment.

Press the arc firmly into the recess. Hold it for a moment!

Before you continue, wait a little while for the glue to set.

Then you can insert the small arc. I used a screwdriver to press it into place.

To ensure a good fit, the fitting accuracy is very tight. It may be necessary to correct the fit with a cutter knife or sandpaper.

Now prepare 4 nylon threads with approx. 20-25cm length. Insert them from the bottom of the plate. A multiple knot is enough to fix the thread to the plate.

Start by hanging the plate into the big arc. The thread length between the tip of the arc and the plate should be about 6cm.

There is a small slit (W 0,3mm) at the end of the arc - apart from the hole - to trap the thread initially for temporary fixation.

Then take the threads for the small arc and proceed in the same way.

When the plate is aligned horizontally - at a height of about 10cm from the bottom - you can pull the thread through the hole 1-2 more times and clamp it. This should be enough for a permanent fixation. Now you can cut of the thread ends.

Due to the material (PLA) the load is limited ... about 150 gr.
