MakerBot Rep 2 stand

I elevated my printer off the desk surface to accommodate a larger filament spool behind it - previously, it was perched on some old books, but that wasn't a great setup. So, I designed this stand. No support or raft is required. Print at low resolution and you'll be good to go. The attached .stl file lifts the printer approximately 100mm from the desk. However, adjusting the stand height in any 3D software is effortless. To secure the stands to the printer, print four of them and replace the existing lower corner hex head bolts with 5mm longer thread versions - it's a simple swap.
