prusaprinters
<p>I have a growing collection of old gadgets that I wanted to be able to display (instead of throwing them all away). So i created a universal display stand. Customize it to show your gadgets name and year of production. To do that, please install <a href="http://www.openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a> on your own computer and follow the <i>customizing instructions</i> on <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/33019-sweeping-2-line-name-plate-text">this thing page</a>.</p><p><i><strong>If you could take a picture of an actual print, please "comment" and attach the picture. - I am curious to see your uses in the wild!</strong></i></p><p>You can customize:</p><ul><li>The size of the gadget/object to display. The stand will automatically adjust to support the object well. Inside the OpenSCAD file you will find the sizes of quite some gadgets.</li><li>The text on the front. I put the year when the gadget went to the market in there as well</li><li>The font. Nice is e.g.: "Pathway Gothic One", "Voltaire" or "Oswald".</li><li>The rotation angle of the display stand</li><li>An extra factor to make the display wider or less wide than the item to display. By default, the stand in 75% of the width of the object shown.</li><li>You can shift your font up/down on the front</li><li>Wether to put in holes to save material<br>Included are .stl files for displays for older electronic gadgets: NTT DoCoMo eggy, Game Park GP32, Cowon A2, Sharp Power Zaurus MI-610DC, Sharp Zaurus SL-C700, Palm Zire 71, Palm Treo 650, Palm Treo 680, Canon Ixus II, Nintendo Game Boy Advance,Nintendo DS lite, Chumby, HP-42S, Garmin Dakota 20, HTC Desire Z, Dingoo Digital A320, Panasonic GH2, Retrogame RS97, Texas Instruments TI-74 and MobiBLU MP3 player.<br>You can find the settings for these gadgets also inside the .scad file as a comment.</li></ul><h4>Other models</h4><p>If you like it, please have a look at all my <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/13788-makkuro/prints">customizable creations</a>.
