I made one, it does not fit the Playmates brand of communicator. That one is wider than this stand and does not account for the belt clip on the back.

@Revguy_1030285 Sorry about that. I designed this for someone else and am not sure which version of the communicator he has.

I changed the orientation, added color changes and support for a picture perfect print. Thank you for designing this, I've wanted a display stand for my calculator, clock, recorder, communicator for over twenty years.

Came out super nice! I had to switch to PrusaSlicer for this instead of Cura that I'm used to, Cura was not generating any infill and kept giving big glob errors because it was trying to fill a rectangle in over nothing. But once switched over to PrusaSlicer everything was great. Took about 38 hours for the base and the lid. Lid fits on super nice, I would say almost air tight as was mentioned in the description, but theres no trouble at all getting it on. I love the angled design of the lid, and I will totally print more in the future for myself and also my family. Thanks for the print, really love this one!!

@kirbygolf_1859032 Glad you like it! 38 hours, you're very patient! I can't explain the results on Cura, Cura is what I used and it didn't have any issues.

A tip I have found just recently: very large, flat objects like this may curl at the edges. It's not because you have a bad printer, it's that all molten filaments contract as they cool. It's the layers above the first layer that pull at the edges and cause them to curl. What helps is a wide brim - 16 lines or more. This holds the edges down and resists the curling.

It doesn't look like you had curling issues, but I did originally, and if I was to print this again I'd put wide brims on. In fact I'll update the printing instructions so others don't have this issue.

@Fraoch Actually I looked into it and Cura was not adding supports at all even if I turned them on. I uninstalled and re-installed and it's now looking like it'll work in the future. Yeah I usually don't have to worry about edge curling because I make my bed be a tiny bit closer to the nozzle than it needs to be and usually I have the problem of it sticking way too well. Thanks for the response and the great design!

Top. Hat knapp 7h auf dem Prusa Mini mit 95% Größe gedauert.

Works exactly as expected and provides a great baseline to comparing settings.

Works and looks great!

I initially printed the larger version but it was a bit too big and hard to fit.

I then printed one small and it was indeed a bit wiggly, so I printed another and it works great with two small ones.

Printed in PETG.
