Fertility Idol Display Stand

thingiverse

"It belongs in a Museum!!!" Just kidding. I wanted a way to display my Indiana Jones fertility idol, and I could not find a printable base that I liked, so I decided to make one. This is the first time I've designed and printed my own model and it was very satisfying! The design is loosely based on the cylindrical altar that holds the statue in the film. It's very cracked and distressed to feel like old stone. I got the sizing wrong when I exported the file, but that was easy to fix in my slicer. Mine is sized to be around 5cm tall, and fits nicely on my CR10-v2, but this can be scaled to fit your printer or idol. It paints up nicely as well. I had a lot of fun doing this. In hindsight though, I would have painted it with some more contrast, maybe less brown, etc. And perhaps I will add some moss to it or something? Enjoy! I hope you like it.
