Diecast airplane stands for 1:400 scale

thingiverse

Remixed some stands for displaying 1:400 diecast models. So far they work for Gemini Jets and Dragon Wings models. These stands have a 2.5mm pin (except 3 plane stand has 2.6) which in some planes is perfect fit, and others not so much. On average this size pin fits better then 2.6mm. The pin should be a snug fit and may require some sanding or trimming with an xacto knife due to slight differences in plane hole sizes and printer accuracy. Twice I've forced it and broken the pin in the airplane and it's a bit of a pain to remove. I plan to make a few more designs and add them here. I've printed mine in PETG as my old low budget printer can't get hot enough for ABS. PLA may work also. After printing inspect the pin and stand for any weak spots. Feel free take these and modify to make better. They are on tinkercad if you search "Plane Stands". I have a few other designs coming but want to print them first and make sure they work. - Stand A works for small (lighter) models. 100%infill, No support - Stand B is has more support and should hold most 1:400 scale models.40%infill, No Support. - Stand C should hold most 1:400 aircraft. Slight nose up pitch. 100% infill, No support. - Stand D has one for small aircraft and one for large. 100% infill, No support. The small stand has 10 degree bank and the large stand a 30 degree bank. - Added 3 plane stand. Will hold 3 small aircraft. Approx. 20 degrees of bank. Print at 100% infill and no support needed.
