Matchbox 1-75 box stand

This is for Matchbox collectors, who would like to present their boxes behind the cars. This stand will lift the box up so it is visible and not covered by the car in a display cabinet.

I have made 3 versions with different heights, all 50 mm wide. The lowest (Holder50) is used for the Mustang and the highest (Holder50XH) is used for the Daimler double decker buses.

These are for standard size Matchbox, but they can be used for others diecast models as well. You can scale them up, if necessary.

I have used black PLA (RFPLCXEU01B) in my DaVinci Jr. As they are hardly visible, it is not necessary to use a low layer height. I have got the best result by printing them standing on the end, like they are in the stl-files. The standard DaVinci slicer allows you to print more that one at the time. This will reduce the total print time.
