Short Thick Eyeglasses Stand (SpecStand Remix)

thingiverse

I had just tossed my glasses on my desk for the hundredth time when I thought, "I should print something to hold them." So, I came here and found the original Spec Stand which led me to the shorter version with no label and no need for pennies in the base. I liked that. Then I saw the thicker version (Specstand thickend, so it wont break" by emuguy1), but it had an odd overhang at the back of the base. So I took the shorter version, made it thicker in Meshmizer, and this remix was born. Does it need to be thicker? I have no idea, but I liked the look. Figured someone else might too. I read about the hook troubles so I went with the rotated hook version. I didn't edit the file by biermeister at all...just bundled it here so you didn't have to download two files to print an entire model. I do have a tip for you though. After 3 fails even with this version, I used a trick I learned from making wands. Getting the tips of the wands to print correctly is a pain if you try to print them on the bed. If you raise the item up off the bed about 3 mm and print supports under the whole thing, you never have to worry about getting those tiny pieces to adhere to the build plate. I use an 80% solid interface layer between the supports and the model when I do this. Hot plastic sticks to hot plastic very well. So that is what I'm trying to show in the image of the hook. Same hook...same orientation...just raised up 3 mm and supports added under it.
