Bottle Wig Stand

prusaprinters

<p>I need a wig stand, and I don't like any of the ones I've found on thingiverse or other sites. I also happen to have a collection of empty soda bottles. So here we are: my "poor man's wig stand". Two variants even, with optional parts!</p> <h3>The<em>not that poor</em> version</h3> <ul> <li>center.stl: The octagonal centerpiece which screws onto the bottle and is used to</li> </ul> <p>hang arms off of, or to attach the extension.</p> <ul> <li>center_extended_10cm.stl and center_extended_rounded_10cm.stl: Optional. These pieces just extend the centerpiece by a bit over 10cm. The rounded one takes slightly less time to print, and uses about 2 grams less material.</li> <li>ring.stl: Optional but recommended. Attaches to the ends of the arms to increase stability.</li> <li>arm.stl: The arm which is to be attached to the octagonal centerpiece. Print four of them for the whole set.</li> </ul> <h3>The<em>really poor</em> version</h3> <ul> <li>standalone_base.stl: This is a base to which a soda bottle can be attached: no other parts are needed. Attach it to the bottle, flip it upside down, plonk it on the table and place the wig on top of the bottle. It isn't great.</li> </ul> <h3>Notes</h3> <ul> <li>I printed all of this with Prusa PETG and so the parts are quite flexible and</li> </ul> <p>will not snap easily. I really do<em>not</em> recommend using PLA for this - at</p> <p>least not the arms. You might want to consider redesigning the arms with</p> <p>additional support if you do.</p> <ul> <li>All parts already have a fair amount of slack and are designed to be fairly</li> </ul> <p>simple to assemble/disassemble. If the parts are very snug or don't fit, you</p> <p>may want to look into adjusting the extrusion on your printer</p> <p>(improve your printer settings). If they're<em>too</em> loose, I may need to</p> <p>improve<em>my</em> printer settings.</p> <ul> <li>None of the models require any support. Although the ring part does have</li> </ul> <p>overhangs, they're very small and should print with no sag if your printer is</p> <p>fast enough.</p> <ul> <li>The STL files should be in the correct dimensions (mm) and orientations,</li> </ul> <p>ready to be sliced and printed.</p> <ul> <li>Blender and STL files are included.</li> </ul> <p>All models were printed on a Prusa i3 MK3S using Prusa PETG</p> <p>(mostly using stock Prusa Slicer presets for said material)</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>MK3</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Prusa i3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2-0.3mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>15-25%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusa PETG</p> <p>black</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Model-specific print settings:</p> <p>center.stl, standalone_base.stl:</p> <ul> <li>I printed this with Prusa PETG; other materials should be fine</li> <li>0.20mm layer height ("0.20mm SPEED" or QUALITY) due to the spiral</li> </ul> <p>Higher precision will make the spiral stronger</p> <ul> <li>2 perimiters</li> <li>Ensure vertical shell thickness</li> <li>20% infill (although 10 would probably be fine)</li> <li>No supports</li> <li>No skirt/brim</li> <li>Est. printing time: 1 hour, 10 minutes for center.stl, 2 hours for standalone_base.stl</li> </ul> <p>center_extended_10cm.stl, center_extended_rounded_10cm.stl:</p> <ul> <li>I printed this with Prusa PETG; other materials should be fine</li> <li>0.30mm layer height ("0.30mm DRAFT")</li> <li>2 perimiters</li> <li>Ensure vertical shell thickness</li> <li>10% infill</li> <li>No supports</li> <li>No skirt/brim</li> <li>Est. printing time: 2 hours, 20 minutes for the octagonal version, ~10 minutes less for the rounded version</li> </ul> <p>ring.stl:</p> <ul> <li>I printed this with Prusa PETG; other materials should be fine</li> <li>0.30mm layer height ("0.30mm DRAFT")</li> <li>2 perimiters</li> <li>Ensure vertical shell thickness</li> <li>15% infill (although it's not important)</li> <li>No supports (this has overhangs, but it's fine - YOLO)</li> <li>No skirt/brim</li> <li>Est. printing time: 40 minutes</li> </ul> <p>leg.stl:</p> <ul> <li>I printed this with Prusa PETG.
