Photography background sweep stand

thingiverse

I designed a photography background sweep stand with each end being a single piece, featuring a built-in clip to secure the paper, a base where weights can be added for stability, and a gap at the top to accommodate a rod or stick for extra support. This design works flawlessly using 12" x 12" sheets of scrapbooking paper as the background. I developed this project using PLA and printed it without supports or rafts, though bed adhesion may require some attention. Post-Printing, I discovered that the clip has a very small gap to hold the paper securely. However, when printing, this gap often closes up and needs to be separated by pushing down on the clip's "lever". Alternatively, an adjustable plier can be used as shown in the photo, carefully rocked to twist the clip apart.
