Lego Dimensions Minifig Holder

thingiverse

The biggest challenge with the game LEGO Dimensions is finding that one elusive minifig you need. This is a storage solution for my Dimensions minifig collection, designed to stand upright at an angle like bleachers or lay flat for storage. Print as many individual holders as you have minifigs, and connect them together any way you want; they're designed to LEGO-standard dimensions, so you can build a custom rack to hold them. A prop and counterweight that uses a dead AA battery keep it upright when in bleacher mode - no spare LEGO needed. The biggest problem, of course, is how much I've spent buying minifigs. But 3D printing a solution for that isn't an option! Print Settings: Printer: M3D Micro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Medium Infill: Low Notes: The holder for Batman must be printed in black. No supports are necessary - there's a built-in support for the two connector pins. If you have trouble with the pins, print the "noconnectors" version and use LEGO pins to hold them together. Print as many of "dimensionsMinifigHolder.stl" as you have minifigs. Start with two or four, then snap them together into a nice array. You can even build a laquered wooden case around them if you want - just leave the holders flat. If you prefer to keep your minifigs upright, you'll need to prop them up. There's a hole in the back that takes a LEGO Axle (length 4 for the bottom row, 8 for the next). Build a LEGO contraption or print the included stands. I've got a 6x2 array set up, holding nicely with one counterweight and stand for every three columns. For this setup, you'll need to print ONE dimensionsMinifigHolderStand4.stl and TWO dimensionsMinifigHolderBallast.stl for every SIX holders. The "Stand4" device replaces a pair of length 4 axles. The "Ballast" device snaps into the bottom row, giving it a horizontal base. Add some weight with two dead AA batteries. Post-Printing: Keep some real LEGO Technic bricks and pins around to test-fit with. Use the Sword of XAct Zero and a file to clean out any splits in the pin.
