Armorer's Workbench: Mechanical Model Display Stand

A rapidly assembled model display stand, conceptually inspired by the Iron Man suit-up/disassembly platforms, yet distinguished by its design language: leveraging FDM print-in-place capabilities, it emphasizes its auxiliary arm and support attributes, leading to diverse stylistic interpretations

• Range of Motion: Mechanical arm joints support 180-degree rotation, and the mechanical claw allows for 180-degree opening and closing;

• Load Capacity: Joints can be fixed in any direction (every 30°), vertically lifting an extra-large X20 solution. At a 60° tilt, load capacity decreases to 100g; a locking clip can be inserted to increase load capacity to the material's breaking point

  

Configuration 1 includes the main body and the lightweight base shown in the image; Configuration 2 features a reinforced base—larger area, higher strength, supports installation of five mechanical arms, and includes a Bambu logo (last image). Print Configuration 2 if you wish to print. Both configurations achieve all functionalities depicted.

Due to the use of print-in-place joints, ensure there is no excessive extrusion before printing, gently flex the parts up and down twice after removal before assembly

• Due to spatial constraints, the hydraulic rod doesn't support all directions; it can be removed when posing the model in complex stances.
• The support structure has two 3mm round pegs, also compatible with GUNPLA support connectors, but I haven't yet conceived optimal integration with other model kits… Suggestions are always welcome.
• The model used is a BANDAI 30MS IMS SC base body, purchased solely as a joint component; the text was generated using a random text generator and is not directly related to any specific character.

*June 20 update: Thank you for your invaluable feedback! Especially to @Richard YE Il for the insightful discussion, and my apologies for not responding individually to everyone. This update increases overhang distance and infill density to mitigate the risk of mechanical arm joint damage. However, note this↓: the supporting pillar will impede movement, possibly causing joint damage upon initial operation. I currently lack the expertise to resolve this issue within the model itself, so it must be removed post-printing.
