Stability add-on for V1 of StarJeff's Carnifex stand

thingiverse

I designed the first version of StarJeff's stand for my Carnifex model. It was a sturdy stand, but we soon realized that the Carnifex prop itself was incredibly top-heavy. That early version of the stand proved to be rather unstable as a result. Later on, he revised it, and his latest version of the stand has tighter tolerances and more material to keep the prop firmly in place and prevent it from tipping over. I created this part to add to the stand I had already printed. It simply attaches itself to the back, around the groove, giving it enough height to ensure that the prop sits securely on the stand. If you're printing his latest version of the stand, V2, then you won't need this part. I'm adding it here in case anyone else who made an early version might not want to print another whole stand just to prevent their Carnifex from falling off. How I Designed This I thought I had added sufficient support to the initial version of the stand that I had printed, but a recent accident proved me wrong. I decided to sketch out this part in Solidworks, and it took me about ten minutes to design it. It's just three rectangular extruded bodies merged together, with a couple of fillets to make it look somewhat nicer.
