Stability add-on for V1 of StarJeff's Carnifex stand

thingiverse

I printed the first version of StarJeff's stand for my Carnifex model. It was a nice stand, but we didn't realize how top-heavy the Carnifex prop was. That early version of the stand proved a little unstable. He later revised it, and the latest version of his stand has closer tolerances and additional material to keep the prop from tipping over. I made this part to add on to the stand I already have printed. It just glues on the back, around the groove to give it enough height to make the prop sit securely on the stand. If you are printing his latest version of the stand, V2, you won't need this part. I'm just putting this on here in case anybody else made an early version and didn't want to print another whole stand to keep their Carnifex from falling off. How I Designed This I thought I had added enough support to the early version of the stand I have printed, but a recent accident proved me wrong. I decided to sketch this part up in Solidworks, and it took me maybe 10 minutes to design. It's just three rectangle extruded bodies merged, with a couple of fillets to make it look somewhat nicer.
