Why another display stand?
I went looking for a display stand for my rock collection and found the existing models lacking.  I believe this model is an improvement in several key areas:

• Adjustable back support allows accommodates oddly shaped items (such as rocks) as well as flat items (such as pictures)
• Two pronged support rod allows for each prong to be sized individually to properly support very uneven shapes
  • Set the RodProngSpread = 0 to have a single prong
• Adjustable back support allows for customizing the angle at which the item is displayed without having to reprint the stand
• Additional length of stand allows supporting top-heavy items without fear of tipping over
• Fully parameterized model allows you to get the perfect fit for your items

I have included 3 basic stands in the print profile: small, medium, and large - however the best fit will come from customization.

I have also included several lengths of backing rods.  For items with a uniform back, I tend to print a set and try different sizes and slots to come up with an appropriate angle for the item being displayed.

Customization Parameter Notes:

• The 3 basic parameters that are typically adjusted are:
  • LegLength - Distance from front of item to back of item.
  • LegSpread - Distance between the two legs at the front of the item.
  • RodLength - Length of the back support rod.
• The advanced parameters all start with a ‘z’ and can be used to fully tailor the fit of the stand to more complex shapes
  • See the picture for how the various parameters apply to the model.
  • z_BaseLength - Adjusting the size of the base length will dictate how many adjustment slots are available.  8-14mm has 3 slots. 15+mm has 6 slots.  A value of 24+ will result in a thicker back support rod (better for large/heavy objects).
  • z_BaseWidth - Along with determining the width of the base, this also will determine the width of the back support rod.
  • z_RodProngSpread - Defining a value greater than 0 will cause the rod to split.  To get wider prongs, you will need to increase the z_BaseWidth.
  • z_RodProngOffset - Adjust this if you have a RodProngSpread and you need one prong to be longer / shorter than the other.
