    Default 3D printed marble stands

    Nothing fancy, just showing what i made yesterday at work.
    I made the original model to hold a 1" marble at visually pleasing scale then scaled on the printer setting to the diameter of the marble; for a 1.3" marble scale print to 1.3x and the stand looks appropriate for size. I've made several out of glass but now these just magically appear overnight while i spend my evenings making marbles, which are getting better and more fun.
    The stands are rough and crude because of the big nozzle (fast print, big parts) on the machine but I can switch to higher resolution nozzle and they will look much nicer.

    I kinda like the roughness of them. I also like that marble in the very top left corner. Looking good!
