Arc Reactor MK1 Stand

thingiverse

This is a stand for an accurate Arc Reactor movie design by zMark, inspired by the stand designed by Matt_Black_90. This base features: It has a 4 mm groove on top to accommodate a square plexiglass cover, and it's strengthened to hold the weight of the cover securely in place. It has a 9 × 14.5 mm hole in the back to host a switch; you can customize the Base.scad file if your switch has a different size requirement. The base has enough space below to accommodate a battery compartment for AA cells, and the Battery_holder.stl file is identical to the flexbatterAAx2.stl file by enif. The post has a hole in the center to hide the cable from view. These images show the bezel I designed for this reactor, which complements its overall design perfectly. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 10% Notes: I highly recommend printing the Base.scad upside down, as there is a manual support in the middle of the switch hole to make the bridge more accurate and easier to print. Please note that the preview of the Base.scad file on Thingiverse is not entirely accurate; however, the photos I uploaded show the completed stand in all its glory, despite some minor quality issues due to using a cheap metal composite filament. Post-Printing Instructions: Use M3×10 screws to mount the post on top of the base and the holder to the post securely in place. Apply hot glue to secure the battery holder to the bottom of the base and ensure that the switch sits firmly in its designated position. The reactor can be easily removed from the Holder.stl ring by simply snapping it out, so if you don't have any wires connected to the base, you can remove the reactor at any time without any issues. You can use the central hole of the Stopper.stl file of the reactor to lead the wires to the base or use a file to rasp some space for the wires as needed.
