Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
This stand provides a sweep, or curved, seamless background for photographing small to medium sized objects. It will hold thicknesses from 20 lb. copier paper to lightweight cardboard or craft paper. Clipped onto a heavy cardboard base or any rigid sheet, your setup can be moved to adjust for light and camera angles. It will support quite a large sheet of light cardboard as a background, and it can be scaled up if you want to photograph very large objects.
(This is a redesigned and greatly improved update to https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:106568. It is easier to load, holds backgrounds more securely, and is more stable standing alone or attached to a base.)
INSTRUCTIONS
All parts are included in both “PLA Complete Sweep” and “ABS Complete Sweep” files and each will fit on a 150mm x 150mm bed. Print at .3mm resolution; 50% fill adds strength without adding excessive build time or material.
PLA works very well for all parts; use either “PLA…” or “ABS…” files. For ABS, print using “ABS…” files to prevent warping problems on the stands. Support is needed for all stands’ bottom hinge and for the curved edge of the PLA stands. In addition to PLA and ABS files for the complete pair of stands, I’ve included one file for each side complete, and one file of each part (the clip is identical for both sides).
Assemble using 1.75mm filament for the hinge pins; Push through a length of filament with excess at both ends; a spot of super glue at one end of the pins will hold them…
