Adjustable height mini platform

thingiverse

I modified the "[Mini Jack Stand](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1857597)" for use in my Dungeons and Dragons game. These platforms allow easy height adjustments on the battle map, making 3D battles with miniatures a reality. I'm using them for underwater fights; they'll also work for air battles or non-gaming purposes. I replaced the top cradle with a 25mm square platform, added two sizes of extender beam and a sleeve for extra height (you can add as many as you like, though it gets wobbly with multiple extensions), and shrunk the design slightly to use pieces of a [bamboo BBQ skewer](https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-Bamboo-Skewers-Set/dp/B000UJ0Z10) as pins instead of screws. The original design is mostly preserved, and it's great. The holes in the inner and outer pieces are slightly different distances apart, allowing for precise height levels (like a Vernier Caliper or slide rule). This isn't ideal for gaming, where discrete 25mm (1 inch) increments are needed. I might modify this design to accommodate that requirement at some point. A loop of tape on the platform helps keep the mini attached when the stand wobbles.
