Description
This is a simple composite display stand designed to fit most standard glove puppets. One in my collection was a little too narrow, but it was an easy job to nip off the ends rather than make an entirely different size.
The mounting flange is large enough to act as a base if you want to display them on a shelf, but in that case I would probably screw them to a small timber offcut for more stability.
Printing the stands was a joy as they were my first seriously shallow overhangs with my Prusa Mk4s and were no problem at all to print without supports, however if you have any doubts, about little support won't hurt.
The shaft is standard 19mm pvc electrical conduit, and in my case I have used a 90° bend to mount them concealed in the display cupboards.
Use any material and the fastest settings you are comfortable with, safe in the knowledge that they will be unseen once the puppet is mounted!
