I wanted an umbrella stand that actually looked stylish — something clean, elegant, and compact enough to tuck into a corner. Everything I found with that kind of design was selling for hundreds of dollars (or more!), so I decided to make my own.

The whole thing is 3D printed — no wood, no glue, no tools. Just screw and press-fit the pieces together.

Each beam is built as a 3-part assembly using 20x2.5mm threads with 0.2mm clearance on all thread faces. The top of each beam lacks a screw and press fits into the top of the stand. That joint starts with 0.5mm clearance, narrowing with a 1.5 degree taper so the rod slides in smoothly but friction-fits solidly.

The whole stand uses about half a roll of PLA (~500g). At full scale, it stands around 24.25" tall with a 7" x 7" footprint. Because it's a lightweight print, I use a bit of double-sided foam mounting tape to ensure it stays stuck in the corner (as shown in the last photo). 

It’s designed for easy, clean printing without supports and tolerances tuned for reliable assembly straight off the printer.

Designed and printed in standard PLA. If you use a different filament type (or something like a wood-infused PLA) you may have to check for tolerances. I have provided a test plate (plate 4) for this purpose.
