Whetstone fixture: "customizable"

thingiverse

I made a perfect fit fixture for my Shapton Glass stones earlier, but then I realized I had other sized stones as well. So I made an adjustable stand that's also kind of modular. There are 5 different parts (2 of them are mirrored versions of the other 2 - the stands). Here's what you need to print: 1x FrontStandLeft 1x FrontStandRight 1x BackStandLeft 1x BackStandRight 2x Fixture The parts are sized to have a tight press fit. At least, they were on my printer, but every printer is different, so prints can vary by sub-millimeters. One part that might feel a bit tacky is using 3mm rubber bands as "rubber feet" since I had a big pack of them at home but no actual rubber feet to keep the fixture from sliding around on the table. You can use whatever you like, though - it's all up to you. On the side, there might be a need to use rubber bands to keep the fixtures pressed against the stone. It depends on how tight that press fit between the front and back stands managed to get. That's shown in one of the pictures. I made it in parts this way to adjust the length of the whole setup and customize the parts that grip onto the stone itself. Shapton Glass stones are just 11mm thick, with 4-5mm being glass, so I don't want to grip too high on those. On other stones, I might want to grip higher.
