Belt Buckle and Medal Stand

thingiverse

This stand serves as a showcase for belt buckles and medals, designed to stand independently without requiring attachment to any other component. It accommodates various sizes of buckles or medals, preserving their intricate details by not covering them up. Furthermore, it is intended to display these items in an upright position, facilitating easy viewing. To minimize material usage during printing and conserve space within a display cabinet, the design was optimized accordingly. The overall dimensions are approximately 2.5 inches wide, 1.6 inches deep, and 2 inches tall. To ensure stable printing and prevent warping issues, raised feet have been incorporated into the design. This feature also allows the stand to be used on surfaces that may not be perfectly smooth. Like other models in its class, this stand is printer-friendly due to its compact size. For reference, the belt buckle displayed in the photos measures 4 inches in diameter with a main plate thickness of 0.15 inches, while the medal shown has a diameter of 2.75 inches and a thickness of 0.22 inches. When printing this model, supports are required only for the bottom surface to ensure stability. Conversely, the top overhang is designed to be printed without supports. It is essential to print this stand vertically rather than horizontally as depicted in its model view.
