Holders for my star wars models consisting of a peg, a pin and a base.

Parts

Peg and Pin

The peg is a small, hollow cylider to hold the pin. It is added to the model as part of the print. (It will be fused to the model)

The pin connects the model to the base. You dont need a pin and you can stack multiple pins to get your desired height.

There are three versions for the peg and pin.

Small

This is for regular models. Anything that is not much bigger then a starfighter and has something in the middle for the peg to connect to. These models are:

Slanted

This is for models where the peg is set towards the back. The first pin is slanted to correct for this offset. This can happen if there is a gap in the middle where there is nothing for the peg to connect to.

Big

This is for bigger models.

Base

There are three versions for the base.

Small

This is compatible with the small and slanted pins.

Medium

Compatible with small and slanted pins, just like the small base. I recommend using it when the small base does not provide enough stability. This can be the case when using lots of pins or with the U-Wing and Star Commuter shuttle.

Big

Compatible with the big pin.

Print instructions

Peg

The peg is printed as a part of the model. In PrusaSlicer, you can add it to the main model via right-click → add part → load. The peg should appear at the correct location. You might have to paint some support-blockers inside it.

Pin

I use PLA at 0.2mm layer height for the bases, but you can use pretty much any material and setting for them.

Base

For the pins, you can use PLA, but I would recommend PETG because its slightly more flexible and durable. Use a raft and supports on buildplate only.
