Introducing the Foldable Print in Place Gunpla Runner Stand (a mouthful I know!). This is the Hex pattern version. Make sure to check out the plain pattern here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/250739#profileId-267023
Decided to give myself a bit of a challenge in designing something that's both print in place and with some form of hinge. The model was inspired by the MGEX Strike Freedom paper runner stand and consists of a simple hinge design based on Nokiri's ribbon fidget toy. There's a catch on the bottom of it to prevent it from opening/folding back out from gravity.
When taking it off the build plate, grab each hinge and give it a slow bend to loosen each segment. Going hard off the bat may cause it to disconnect
