Stepcraft HF-500 Spindle Stand

thingiverse

Stepcraft's ability to quickly change the spindle leaves you with a problem, where to put the spindle while you do whatever you need to do while it's out of the CNC. This stand is a handy and stable place to put the spindle when it's not in the machine. It is quite rigid and wide enough to not topple over when the cable is moved. Rather than let it lie on its side and move around, this stand has a wide stable base. There can't be a tool in the chuck, that would make the stand taller and less stable. If you need it taller, stretch it in the slicer by changing the Z scale. Other things that fit in the spindle clamp can, of course, also be placed in this holder If you have any other tools, not quite as heavy as a spindle then you can hang them on a [1/4" hole pegboard](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5087148)
