Balancing Act Eyeglass Holder

thingiverse

Perfectly balanced, almost like it's floating in the air, showing off your eyeglass, ready to grab your attention at the slightest movement. (when placing and if the surface on which the holder is placed moves, the glasses will wobble.) Printed in PLA with nozzle size 0.4, layer thickness 0.2, infill 30%. Use support on buildplate (only) for the left bar! The other parts need no support. Width for the temples is 120-144mm. These will almost always fit. Assembly is with press fits. If necessary, use pliers to press the left and right bars together through the spring in the standing bar. Be careful with the spring, and only push on the middle part when assembling. <i>(Remove all protruding parts and all support residues before mounting.)</i> Since the holder is quite light, place your other hand on both legs of the base and place the glasses. In about an area of 1-2cm (½ inch), the placement is stable. <b>It's very easy to place correctly.</b> But.. too far back will tilt the glasses backward and too far forward will tilt them forward. Due to the smoothness of the PLA, the glasses then slip out. Optionally, you can add anti-slip tape, so that the glasses do not easily slip out. I didn't think this was appropriate, it is after all a balancing act. If the temples of your glasses are wider or smaller, you can try the following: For wider temples, scale the left and right bar in length only (max. +10%). For smaller temples, scale both down in length (max. -10%).
