Description
After tinkering with my first stands I made some changes to make them better. Added a bevel. The old model had tight pegs so I made them smaller (2.85mm diameter). Included is a plain base, a GI Joe star, a Cobra logo (model for logo modified from dSASQUATCH707 on thingiverse), and Arashikage ninja clan.
I recommend printing in PETG. When I used PLA the pegs tended to snap off with use.
I've found the heel holes are fairly inconsistent between figs, so I went with 2.85 which works great on the tight ones (Stormshadow and Cobra Commander) but they might be a little loose for others. If they are too loose for you I would recommend using a 50 -100 um offset in your slicer.
I really liked the way these pop with a filament change I just use PursaSlicers color change feature to do this. Attached pictures I used Overture PTEG Sparkle Blue and MakerGear PTEG Red For the cobra and ninja. Overture Transparent green PTEG and Overture white PETG for the Joe star.
I used ironing on all top surfaces, but used added 50x50x5 modifier rectangle at 5mm with an ironing modify to turn off ironing on the top of the pegs. I would not recommend ironing the tops of the pegs.
I skipped Ironing on the green Joe stands and they weren’t bad but I think the Ironing does make a nice difference
