Modular Helmet Stand

If you like my design and are feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee by clicking on my username and clicking "Tip Designer" in blue. <h3>Background</h3> Not all helmets are created equal, and I've found different helmets required different post heights to properly display them. As such, I've put together these files which easily screw together, allowing you to print out what you need to proudly display your nerdiness, err, I mean, helmets. <h3>What do I print?</h3> Simply print out your base of choice, some posts and a cap. Screw everything together, and you're done! If it's too short, print out more posts. Too tall? print out more smaller posts then mix and match to get the height you want. <h3>Post options</h3> Note: The height referenced is how many mm the post adds, actual file height is 17.5mm taller to account for the female threads. * 25mm * 50mm * 100mm <h3>Base Options</h3> Note: Bases are between 180mm and 185mm circumference, and add 25mm post height. * Small (NEW on 2/22/21) - Smaller platform but holds well for helmets that are shorter/not top heavy. * Plain (No Design) * Arc_Reactor - A take on the MkII arc reactor * Galactic_Empire * Rebel <h3>What if I want a different base/cap?</h3> I've added .obj files of the male and female connectors in case you'd like to build/design your own base or cap. I do ask if you design something, please upload it to Thingiverse as a remix to this file so others can use it as well. My creativity only goes so far. <h3>Printing notes</h3> * All files were designed to be printed without supports. As long as your printer is semi-dialed in, the threads should print out just fine. * I recommend printing at 20%-25% infill and 3 outer layers for strength/stability of the threads. <h3>Additional notes</h3> * MkII_Example.stl is an example of an assembled helmet stand using the Arc Reactor base.
