Customizable Action Figure Display Base

thingiverse

I have a number of Toy Biz Lord of the Rings action figures from 2005/2006 that proved to be challenging for me to find suitable display bases. This prompted me to take matters into my own hands and create my own custom display bases. I designed the default base to fit a specific size: 2 inches in diameter and 2mm high, with a 3mm peg located 4mm above the surface. However, this setup may not work for smaller 6-inch action figures as the 3mm peg is quite large. To ensure proper customization, I recommend measuring the hole in the figure's foot carefully. A smaller peg, such as a 2mm diameter and 2mm high peg, might be a good starting point for those smaller figures. My customizable display bases support various shapes: round, triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, decagon, and dodecagon. I suggest printing two or more bases at a time to allow each layer sufficient cooling time between prints. Printing individual bases consecutively may lead to warping issues when printing the peg. Please note that some shapes might require you to experiment with the peg's positioning due to variations in size or shape. Additionally, if you modify the base size, you will need to adjust the peg's offsets accordingly. I used a MakerBot Replicator printer with specific print settings: MakerBot Brand, 0.20mm resolution, 50% infill, no rafts, and no supports. It is recommended that you print with infill ranging from 20% to 50%.
