SR-71 Blackbird display stand

I've redesigned the SR-71 display stand:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35383 The fuselage contact point was modeled after the above design, and it fits pretty well without needing much support, but a bit of double-sided tape is helpful to keep it in place. The base requires no additional supports as the lettering turns out nicely. However, some extra reinforcement is necessary for the top part's main column to prevent sagging. My initial idea was to attach the top and base using the small plug provided, but my printer struggled with the 2.5mm detail, so I used a dab of glue to secure the two parts together instead. Instructions: Print both parts using my preferred settings: 0.2mm layer height and 10% infill via Craftware slicer on my Craftbot. Provide light support behind the vertical shaft in the top part's design. Once the parts are printed, attach the top and bottom sections together with some adhesive for a sturdy display stand.
