Perfect-Fit Horn Display Stand

Customizable Horn Stand This should be reasonably flexible and will work to make a nice little stand for pretty much any horn (or other mostly cylindrical thing) you want to display Assembly First you need to print two "uprights" and one "base" You can find these both on onshape so you can customize the diameter and spacing to whatever you want. The onshape source material can be found here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3ad64b62d143a37c79d5791a/w/ac0ed7194df80cd2cb6a05ca/e/f5ec44116bb03baff9af316a Next put the uprights in place and figure out how tall you want them to be. They're intentionally too tall so that you can adjust the height, glue them into place, then cut off any excess that's sticking out the bottom of the base. Once the uprights are finished, get 8 US nickels and glue them into the recesses in the base. This provides a little weight to keep things stable. The final adjustment is heat-forming the uprights to the object you're displaying. Take a lighter or heat gun and gently heat the fork on the upright until it becomes pliable and form it around the object for a perfect fit. Once it cools back down it will hold its shape. Finishing Touches At this point you're done if you want to, but I'd recommend 3 final finishing steps for a more polished look: There's a groove on the base meant to hold paint to add a nice accent Getting a small piece of felt or fleece to glue on the bottom of the base will hide the weights and add an additional accent of color barely visible from the side If you have some kind of rubber to glue to the insides of the fork on the upgrights to make it "grippy" that will help everything stay stable.
