About this model
<p>I made this as a small stand for a landscape Nixie clock. I wanted something that looked more like a piece of late-60s/early-70s plastic furniture than a plain rectangular bracket, so the shape is loosely inspired by the Massonnet Tam-Tam stool: rounded top, rounded foot, and a pinched hourglass waist.</p><p>The default version has a shallow locating recess for the clock and a snap-in channel down the back for the power cable. The stand prints upright on its flat base.</p><p>The Blender script is parametric, so the same design can be resized for other small rectangular objects. Change the object width/depth/height, recess clearance, top size, base size, waist dimensions, and cable-channel dimensions to make a stand for a different clock, meter, sign, badge, or small electronics enclosure.</p><p>Files included:</p><p>- STL and 3MF ready to print</p><p>- Blender scene</p><p>- Parametric Blender Python script</p><p>Print notes:</p><p>- Tested in PrusaSlicer for an Ender-3 S1</p><p>- PLA</p><p>- 0.4 mm nozzle</p><p>- 0.24 mm layer height</p><p>- 5% infill</p><p>- No supports</p><p>If you make the waist much narrower or change the cable channel, check the slicer preview before printing. For the top recess, I would start with about 0.3 to 0.6 mm clearance per side, depending on your printer and how snug you want the fit.<br><br>I bought the clock from Bad Dog Designs: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="editor-link"…
