These are fully-stackable PCB stands and hole gauges. I made three step sizes, 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm. 

The peg diameters go from M2-M14 (M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M10, M12, M14), and have a 4x step base. 

These are great for putting under the PCB to give it a bit of an angle for soldering, to provide a bit of height so it's not resting on the components, or to use as a hole gauge. Multiple sizes can be used to achieve different combinations of each of these. For example, you could use the 3mm stands for the back of the board and the 2mm stands for the front to provide lift and tilt. 

There is a version that allows for magnets to be glued in the bottom. In combination with a metal plate on the desk this allows for a better stand that doesn't move around as much. But these aren't stackable. Currently there are only files for one size magnets but you can just edit the parameters in the Fusion360 model or ask me and I will create it for you.

The same-height stands stack, so they can be easily organized and put away. That is, the 2mm size stack with the other 2mm size, 3mm with 3mm, etc.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I made the Fusion 360 model a bit nicer (mainly the sketch) in order to make it easier to edit. And I added a version that isn't stackable but allows you to insert magnets in the bottom.
