Eagle Tech Butane Torch Stand

Love the [Eagle Tech butane jet torch](https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Lighter-Adjustable-Windproof-Refillable/dp/B0159G9LG8/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=Eagle+Tech+Torch&qid=1621910102&sr=8-6) but hate how it is constantly falling over. This stand is designed to be slightly larger than the body of the torch so you remove it from the stand when you pick it up. That way the stand doesn't interfere with the use of the torch. A permanently affixed stand would make it very hard to hold, since it is so short. There are two versions uploaded. The tall version (black) is quite a bit wider, allowing the torch to slip in easily but it is also taller to keep it upright better. The shorter version (red) is tighter around the torch but about half as tall. Personally, I like the shorter version better but I had the taller one done already so I thought I would include it if some folks wanted that instead. Enjoy!! UPDATE 5/31/21: Added a small 5mm hole in the bottom of the short version to prevent a vacuum from picking up the stand with the torch if you happen to have overly shrinky material or you try and heat anneal the stand, like I did with a version I printed in PLA. It shrunk just enough where it starts to get picked up with the torch. My drill did the trick though. :-) UDPATE 6/1/21: Added a version that is shorter and tighter that is designed to stay on the torch semi-permanently. I printed with Reprapper PETG and it stayed in place perfectly with just a pressure fit, no adhesive required. Your results may vary depending on printer and filament.' UPDATE 7/3/21: Added Semi-Perm v2, I noticed that the last version separated where cylinder met the base. So I added a couple extra layers starting at the base that taper down as you approach the center. All the dimension stayed the same so the torch still glides in and stays in pace with a pressure fit. As a result though, the walls are no longer match exactly the line width. As such, you have to use the "Fill Gaps Between Walls" option in Cura (and I assume in other slicers) in order to make sure your walls don't have any gaps. UPDATE 7/5/21: Replaced v2 with v2.1. Something was defined incorrectly. Netfabb fixed it. UPDATE 8/1/21: Uploaded v2.2 of the Semi-perm version with a version that is wider at the intersection of the base and the ring. This gets better adhesion and keeps it from seperating.
