I had a spare Solo card from the recent Milton Keynes event, so took it into work for my desk area. This got me thinking, why not 3D print a stand for it?? Then a fellow builder had been going to see Solo multiple times and had been asked to pick up the card set for other members lol. So I thought, why not make a stand to hold all four cards.
So I drew up a simple display stand in AutoCAD Inventor. Unfortunately my works 3D printer bed is too small to print as one piece, so I had to cut it up into two. Which they then snapped together, for a perfect fit. Here's the first piece with two cards slotted in place.
They are a nice snug fit, not loose, but also not to tight that you have to force them in. There was a bit of lifting off the bed on this first print. Here's an above view.
Then it was on with printing the second side.
The simple, copy and save as second side lol. They snap together perfectly, more luck than expert engineering tho :D And here are the tow pieces clicked together with just the one card, forgot to bring in the others to work.
I kept the one piece version as well, so will be posting up both onto my Thingiverse account if anyone wants to display their cards. Thanks for viewing.
