Import the STL files for the stand base and holder into your slicing software.
Ensure the models are oriented correctly for printing.
Set Up the Print:
For the holder, place it on its back in the slicer to facilitate easier printing.
Set the infill to 15% for a balance between strength and material use.
Adjust the layer height to 0.2mm for good detail and reasonable print time.
Support Settings:
Decide whether to print with or without supports:
Without Supports: Suitable for clean prints with minimal overhangs.
With Supports: Recommended for the stand base's recess, ensuring better print quality.
If using supports, enable them specifically for the recess area of the stand base.
Print the Parts:
You have two options:
Print Separately: Print the stand base and holder separately for greater control and precision.
Print Together: If your printer has sufficient build volume, you can print both the stand base and holder together to save time.
Load the files onto your 3D printer of choice. These settings are compatible with most standard 3D printers.
I successfully printed the parts using an Anycubic Kobra 3, but the files should work well with any printer that supports standard 3D printing formats.
Monitor the print progress to ensure everything is going smoothly.
Post-Processing:
Once the prints are complete, carefully remove the parts from the print bed.
If supports were used, gently remove them using appropriate tools.
Sand or clean any rough edges as needed.
Assembly:
If printed separately, align the holder with the stand base and assemble them.
Ensure a snug fit, and your IQOS stand is ready for use.
