Aura — Minimalist Frame Stand
Created 3 months ago
Description
A minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired phone stand designed to strip away visual bulk while maintaining perfect stability. The aggressive, blocky wedge has been replaced by a light, flowing frame that relies on deep curves and negative space.
Features
- Floating Frame: A wide central cutout reduces the structure to two elegant, 8mm sweeping rails.
- Organic Silhouette: Deeply rounded outer corners mimic the look of bent plywood or softened aluminum.
- Maintained Utility: Keeps the exact 45-degree viewing angle and the elongated footprint to fully support larger phones without tipping.

Vertical Switch Dock Stand with Strap Slots
A Switch dock lying flat eats shelf space, and a dock stood on its end tips over the first time someone pulls a cable. This stand holds the dock upright in a snug pocket on a wide flat base, and keeps two spare Joy-Con straps in slots in the side walls. What it does Holds the dock on its end so it takes up a footprint of about 142 × 92 mm instead of its full 175 mm length lying down. Front wall is cut down in the middle, so you can grip the dock to lift it out. A 70 mm opening in the back wall lets the power, HDMI and USB cables leave without bending against the stand. Two 4 × 16 mm slots, one in each side wall, hold spare Joy-Con straps. Numbers that decide fit Pocket: 106 mm wide × 52 mm deep, for a dock of roughly 104 × 49 mm. That leaves about 1 mm of play on width and 3 mm on depth. Pocket depth: 44 mm, above a 6 mm base. Overall: 142 × 92 mm base, 50 mm tall. Side walls: 10 mm thick. Front and back walls: 8 mm. Printing Print flat on the base, with no supports needed. Chamfered edges, 1.5 mm. Any common filament works. PETG or PLA is fine for the load. If your dock is a tight fit or loose, adjust the pocket width and depth to match.
Bedside Reading Glasses Stand, 18mm Bridge
A freestanding bedside stand that holds a pair of reading glasses by the bridge, so they rest off the nightstand and out of the bedding. The top of the column is shaped into a rounded nose-bridge saddle, 18 mm wide at the rim, matching the typical lens-to-lens distance on standard reading glasses. A 90 mm round base keeps the stand upright. Specs Overall size: 90 mm diameter x 116 mm tall Base: 90 mm diameter, 5 mm thick, chamfered edge Column: 30 x 22 mm cross-section, rounded vertical corners Top block: 70 x 22 mm, 16 mm tall Saddle: round dip, 18 mm wide at the rim, 8 mm deep Single-piece body, prints base-down with no supports needed Suggested material: PLA or PETG; 3 or more perimeters for a stiff column Use Place on a nightstand and hang the glasses by the bridge across the saddle. The wide top block and 90 mm base keep the stand stable under light glasses.
Fidget Slider Toy, Captive Print-in-Place
A fidget slider that prints already assembled, so there is no loose weight to lose and nothing to glue. The slider is captured in an enclosed dovetail track and cannot fall out. It runs 40 mm end to end and clicks at each stop instead of rolling freely. What it does Slides back and forth along a closed track in an 80 x 25 mm body. A small bump on the track floor at each end of travel drops into a dimple under the slider and gives the click. The dovetail profile holds the slider down, so it cannot lift out of the rails. Numbers that matter Body: 80 x 25 x 11 mm, with the slider top reaching 14 mm. Slider: 20 mm long, 18 mm wide cap. Travel: 40 mm. Clearance between slider and track: 0.4 mm per side. This is what lets it move after printing. Click bump: about 0.6 mm of interference against the 0.4 mm gap. Reduce the bump height if it feels too stiff. Printing Print flat, body base down, with no supports needed inside the track. Use a well-tuned printer. A 0.4 mm gap fuses easily if the flow is too high. After printing, work the slider back and forth a few times to break any thin bridging between the slider and the rails. Two colours show as separate parts in the preview, but the print is one job.
Hexagonal Pen Cup with Divider
A hexagonal desk cup, 80 mm tall and 100 mm point to point, split into two sections by an internal divider wall. The larger section runs full height and holds pens and pencils. The smaller section is cut down to one third of that height, about 27 mm, and works as a tray for paper clips, erasers and other small items. The divider sits slightly off-centre so the short tray takes up roughly 40% of the floor area. The walls are 2.4 mm thick and the base is 3 mm thick. The top and bottom outer edges have a small chamfer. Overall size: 100 mm across corners, 80 mm tall Tall pen section: full height, about 60% of the floor Short tray section: one third height, about 40% of the floor Wall thickness: 2.4 mm, floor thickness: 3 mm Prints upright as one piece with no supports needed
Slot-Together Geared Tablet Stand, Doogee U11
Geared tilting tablet stand for the Doogee U11, laid out as 14 separate flat pieces for printing and assembled by hand after printing. A knob on a drive shaft turns two 30-tooth gears that mesh with 15-tooth gears on the cradle, so a small knob twist tilts the cradle forward or back. Pieces Base plate: 1 Side plates: 2, with tabs that drop into slots in the base Tablet cradle: 1 15-tooth cradle gears: 2, peg into the cradle ends 30-tooth drive gears: 2, keyed to the drive shaft Knob: 1 Axle: 1, 8 mm round Drive shaft: 1, D-profile Friction-fit caps: 3 Print notes Every piece is laid flat on the build plate with no overlap. Gear pegs face up and the shaft flat faces down, so no supports are needed for the main bodies. Clearances are about 0.2-0.4 mm; adjust for your printer. Gear mesh and fit are untested; friction alone holds the tilt angle.
Neewer Mini to Bowens Adapter
LumenLock is a round bayonet adapter that takes a Neewer mini mount and presents a female Bowens-style socket. A 104 mm body carries a 95 mm pocket, and three inward tabs grip the male lugs of a Bowens-headed light: the lugs pass through the gaps between the tabs, then lock when you twist. The 60 mm centre opening and the four 4 mm mounting holes at 45° spacing pass straight through, and the whole part sits 16 mm tall, so it adds little depth between the light and the modifier. Dimensions Body: 104 × 104 mm Overall height: 16 mm Socket pocket: 95 mm, cut 5 mm above the base Tab opening: 84 mm across Centre opening: 60 mm Mounting holes: four at 4 mm, 45° spacing Tabs: three, each spanning 40° of arc Fit notes The socket and tab sizes are estimated rather than measured from hardware. Check your mini mount's bolt spacing and test the tab arc and the pocket depth against your Bowens male fitting before committing to a long print; real mounts vary, so adjust the hole positions or tab geometry to suit your hardware.
