Looking for things to make to justify a 3D printer purchase, came up with this for my revos. Anyone with a 3D printer could probably make their own design quickly enough. But I made this and thought I'd share it in case anyone finds it useful!

Thank you. Im going to try and run one tomorrow.

Let me know if you find it useful. I'm up for tweaking it or creating some variants if there's some interest.

It looks good

Maybe a version that covered half the puzzle and add a couple grooves in the bottom. Then we could use them as storage cases and put a couple rubber bands around them to hold then together.

Interesting idea. I hadn't considered that, because I have the original boxes for mine. Now I have the profile tuned in for the revo itself, i can cut that particular shape out of anything. I designed it using openscad and will probably upload the files to thingiverse at some point. Means anyone can change/remix any way they like then.

I have revos that came from the factory without a box and some that came 2 to a box. While this was fine for shipping, once the plastic pouch and expanding protective sleeve were removed, storage options were not ideal. Which is why the moment i saw your stand, i thought it was a perfect option for protecting my puzzles.

I think I can present it as more of a toolkit. At the end of the day, once you have the shape of revomaze V1 set up you can construct any other shape, then subtract the revomaze from it. Any stand/case/display/etc could then be created without too much trouble.

I've already had one enquiry about making them, but honestly I'm not sure I have any intention of doing any more than sharing the design (after all, 3D printing is not exactly a fast process). Revomaze has an awesome community, so I'm just sharing on the chance I might be able to give something back.

RevoRabbit - do you have a 3D printer?

I'll report back in a couple of days. Presumably by cleaning up the openscad files, uploading them to thingiverse, and offering a couple of permutations of stands, cases, etc.

Really like the stand. Printed a second one today. Only thing I might do is put some rubber feet on it.

Weren't you working on a carbon fiber stand? Hows that going?
