Metex stand

thingiverse

My trusty 33-year-old METEX M-3650 multimeter has suffered a blow. Someone knocked the stand off of it, and one of the pegs broke off, rendering the stand useless. Despite this mishap, my favorite multimeter still gets plenty of use - albeit without its convenient stand that makes reading the display a breeze. To replace the lost stand, I simply copied the original dimensions and printed out a new one. The first prototype came out perfectly, clicking into place with ease and remaining there to this day. While shaving off a fraction of a millimeter here and there might improve fit slightly, I'm happy with how it turned out, and the extra effort isn't worth it. If you own a different METEX model that shares the same stand design, please let me know - I'll add it to the list of compatible hardware. The M-3620 or similar models, lacking capacitance measurement, might be identical to my M-3650. As I always maintain, the design itself accounts for half the cost of the object, and the 3D printing write-off is a breeze to calculate. With filament costing around $0.25, you can consider this project's total cost to be about $1. If you'd like to contribute, you can send me $0.50 for the design; however, given its minimal value, feel free to skip it if you're not interested. If you want a custom-printed stand, I've outlined the costs: $1 (design + filament + printer) plus shipping.
