Model Overview & Print Notes
Summary
The 'Cactus Stand' is a modular system for hanging up keys, bracelets, watches and more. The stand is made up of a base, which has a tray to hold things like coins etc., then layers with arms protruding to hang things on.
Print in your choice of color/s so it looks like a cactus or alternatively is seen as a modern modular expandable stand for hanging things. Print one for yourself but also great as a gift.
The arms slot onto the layer below and are free to rotate almost 360 degrees... this lets you hang things in a position where they won't interfere with whatever is hanging on the layer below. There are four layer options:
Narrow - Has a 20mm space between the trunk and upright at the end of the arm/s There is a single arm and double arm option.
Wide - Has a 30mm space between the trunk and upright at the end of the arm/s There is a single arm and double arm option.
Two additional files are provided. There is a cap to top the Cactus Stand off and an extension in case you need additional height between layers and arms.
The result is a modular system for hanging all sorts of things. Just print the number of layers / arms to suit what you want to store... and add more later if you want to expand the stand.
With a well sliced file and printed on an accurate / precise machine the layers / arms should rotate smoothly and securely on the layer below. Juts slot one layer onto the pin protruding up from the layer below... it's easy!
Please refer to the images and print instructions provided for additional information... and please post images of your Cactus Stands in use to give others ideas.

Tips: Tips are not expected but are appreciated as they help offset my filament costs as much as anything else. However, as I live outside the USA tips cannot be sent to me via PayPal.Me as that service is not supported in my region and this is beyond Thingverse's control. If you feel like sending a tip please use regular PayPal and send it to [email protected] and, to those who do, thanks in advance!
