Picture Frame Table Stand

thingiverse

**Updates:** 2023-07-02 Finally got back to this and decided the original was rather blah so I designed a new single piece, folding backing and stand unit. Another reason I decided to do this was the backing boards of some of my old frames are in pretty poor shape so I opted to make the stand and backing board a single piece. I am waiting on some small backing clips so I can fasten the pieces properly rather than using the small wire staples (or nails) that were originally used. I designed the humming bird back to go on a photo of my wife's mother (one of her favourite birds) which is a little fancier than a simple triangular piece. The two pieces are joined with a small piece of paper clip as the hinge. I just used some double sided tape to fasten the mount on one of my test pieces since the original cardboard was in terrible shape. To hold the tie piece in place for the single board unit, I just used a piece of a paper clip. The single folding backing piece should be able to be resized to the dimensions needed by scaling it in the slicer. The only issue I can think of is the height of the frame. The angle of the picture changes depending on the distance from the backing edge to the table top. If resizing doesn't work let me know and If you provide the frame size in the comments I can upload an altered version. **Summary:** Needed a quick stand for some old wooden wall frames to be placed on tables. Also had some table frames with missing back supports so I threw this design together. I didn't have time to test out options so I am sure that the back support could be simplified quite a bit. I will look at altering the angle support to make it simpler and quicker to print if I get time. It uses a small back plate that is glued onto the back cardboard of the frame. The angled support can then be slid onto the frame. The support piece has 2 angles, so choose the best and position the clip for gluing. My pictures were around 200mm x 150mm but I suppose you can scale the part for other sizes if needed. I opted for this type of design so the holder would not be visible from the front.
