steampunk taxidermy stand

thingiverse

This stand is crafted to hold a deceased insect or arachnid preserved in plastic. The central holder is tailored for a 24mm x 36mm keyring sample that was widely used in the past, and features a hole for embedding a neopixel. A 50mm diameter magnifier can be attached to a detachable mount secured with 4 telescopic antennas. There are also 2 mounts in the base designed for spirit level tubes (I sized them for the tubes from a poundland laser level), with holes for 3mm leds to illuminate the tubes. In the base section, there are hollow walls that can be filled with putty or resin to add weight if necessary. The parts are precision-cut to avoid overhangs so they should print smoothly even on challenging printers, but to complete the build, a few non-printed components are required.
