3D model description

[Update 21.5.21: As we reached 100 likes I made new stands, not one but four, but I decided to pack them in a new thing for better visibility! Here they are: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4865033 ]

These are stands for 6" action figures. I made the baseplate and the little pins as seperate parts, because if you simple print the plate with pins on top they easily break.

I made several different Star-Wars themed floor designs. For every 100 likes I get I add another design.

The Designs/Type/recommended filament color
Bespin /checkered floor/ white
Correlia /cracked concrete floor/grey
Death star /grit with rounded Lines/black
Falcon /another grit-design/silver grey
Jabbas palace /ornamental grit/brown
Tatooine /Desert dunes/yellow orange

Each baseplate consists of the plate with 3 pins on top which are connected with a single layer to the baseplate for easier printing (the little t-shaped pins have no good adhension to the bed if printed alone.) (I added 3 pins per plate but only 2 are needed, the extra one is in the case that one isn´t printed properly)

After printing cut away the pins and the connector layer, and press the pins from the underside in the openings in the baseplate, they should fit in with a satiesfying click.

Tip: put them in place and place it on a flat hard surface and press from above on the plate till they click in.

It took me several optimizations till the pins had the right diameter for the little holes in the feet of the action figures and they clicked to the baseplate properly, but it still depends on the tolerances of your printer. So if the pins don´t hold properly use some glue or a soldering iron. If the Pins are too loose in the feet increase the size by 1 or 2 % (101% 102% upscaing in the slicer) or decrease the size if they don´t fit.

I Printed 20+ plates for all of my figures and they all worked fine.

Each plate takes approximately 1 hour to print at 0.2mm layers. Print without supports and without brim.
