This is a fully customizable model for creating your own rotating desk stand. Using
the OpenSCAD file included, you can customize most parameters of the object to create
exactly what you need.
For convenience, I have included a .3mf file for a Bambu Labs P1S with default settings that
work well for creating a desk stand for your Cricut tools. The individual STL files have also
been included.
Only the top part with the hooks really needs supports, the other parts you can print as you wish.
I prefer to use an outer brim with most of the models, but that's largely down to personal
preference.
You can stack as many of the shafts as you want to create taller version of the stand. If you
use more than two shaft elements you should consider using the alternative base STL that's
included that has a wider brim, allowing your object to stand more stable.
After printing, carefully remove the brims and the supports for the hooks. No glue is required
to assemble the model.
You need at least a cap, a rotating top, a shaft and a base.
You can screw together all parts of the model. When you first do that, be careful and gentle.
The first time screwing the model together may be difficult sometimes but some gentle wiggling
goes a long way. Do not try to force anything. The rods will likely break when you do. This
is due to the chosen print-orientation, which gives the prettiest result, but makes the screws
slightly weak against excessive rotational forces.
Because of the orientation of the hooks, and the way that the rotating top is oriented for
printing, make sure that you do not use filaments with a weak layer adhesion. Specifically
when using Matte filaments I noticed that the hooks can become too weak and will easily snap
off. When using such filaments be sure to ensure proper layer adhesion.

This model consists of four parts, you should individually render each of the parts by
setting the stage parameter to a value between 1 and 4. After changing these parameters,
be sure to create new models for stage 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The other parameters can be changed as follows:
