Eyewear Stands

I always have a lot of eyewear lying around and until now never had a way to organize in a way that I liked. For some time now I have known that hanging glasses vertically was the best way (in my opinion) to keep them at the ready. But I could not figure out a way to make that scalable. Well, here it is…

This simple two-part design gives you a single stand for a pair of specs but you can repeat that over and over again, snapping them together, to form a larger array of “stands”. I love it.

The design is super simple, the upright snaps into the base (permanently) and then bases can be snapped together (and later separated if needed).

When bases are snapped together they form a relatively solid base structure so that grabbing and removing any pair of glasses is easy to do without disturbing the other eyewear on the rack.

Printing

Functional designs (such as this one) generally require more strength than non-functional designs and more strength than the typical default slicer settings provide, so please review your slicer settings carefully.

This product was designed for a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.2mm layer height and the following settings:

• Wall Line Count = 4 ( 4 x 0.4mm = 1.6mm walls )
• Top and Bottom Layer Count = 5 ( 5 x 0.2mm = 1.0mm top and bottom )
• Infill = 40%, Cubic
• Ironing = OFF (not needed)
• Support = None required
• Brim = NO
• Material: PETG or PLA recommended (any material should work fine)
• Print Orientation: As per STL file and shown below

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required. Just snap them together.

To separate the bases once they have been connected, pry them apart from the underside of the stands.
