FPL - Fully Printable Lab - Part I: Lab Stand

Our school lab was closed for renovations, so i had to come up with some ideas regarding experiments. Using microscale experiments allows for some small experiments outside an official lab, but getting all the material to the classroom takes forever. So I came up with the idea to design a modular lightweight printable lab stand which can be stored in a desk to equip multiple classrooms.

This is part I with the base, connector and basic tools (simple rings and clamps). It worked for me quite fine, but of course there are always more tools and modules to think of, so I am pretty sure at least part II will be coming.

All parts are designed to be printed with no or minimal supports. I printed the prototypes in PLA and the connection was fine but I strongly recommend using PETG since it is not only more flexible but also withstands the most common chemicals like hydrochloric acid far better compared to PLA.

I printed with 0.3 mm Layer height to speed things up and it still worked. I used an Anycubic Kobra 2 NEO, which is pretty much the lowest entry level you can get, before switching to my Kobra 2 Max.

Have fun and if you have any idea for more tools or modules feel free to remix or contact me.
