Easy to load watch stand, fully 3d printed with the exception of the stick on grips to the bottom (6mm diameter pads). The base threads onto the rod.

This design can accommodate bands sized 5" to 8".

Thank you to Steph_Nuggs for the spring design!

No supports
Prints fine at a 0.48mm layer height on a 0.60mm nozzle using PETG.

I used print modifiers on PrusaSlicer to do 100% infill on the base of the rod to strengthen it.
