Star Wars Model Ship Stands: Darth Vader TIE, B-Wing, TIE Interceptor

thingiverse

I made these for the OLD models that I built in the 90's. I have no idea what brand they are, but I do know that the B-Wing and Tie Interceptor had gold finishes in the box. I painted them instead. They both have a hole on the bottom for the original stand. The Darth Vader Tie has a little slot on the bottom for the original stand. The pictures show closeups of the connection points. To make the stands two-tone, you'll have to change the filament at about 5.3 mm. It's OK if you change higher than this measurement. Just don't change it until it starts doing the outlines of the insignia above the flat surface. Otherwise you'll get a layer or more of the second color on the top of the flat surface and you'll loose the contrast between the base and the insignia. The uprights are printed in the same color as the insignia because there's a slot in the insignia to insert the uprights. Using the same color makes the joint blend well. *****UPDATE 1/6/23******** I made the top of the upright a little thicker for added strength. I was dusting mine and the ball snapped off in the TIE Interceptor.
