I thought I would build a working jack stand. This thing requires one yellow motor (can be obtained cheaply from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dimart-100RPM-Robot-Intelligent-Shaft/dp/B00PFBEMQC/), a single AA battery, and this thing (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9805). Hot glue works really well with PLA to put it all together. Superglue would also work.
Print out the following quantities:
4x cap.stl (open end up)
2x crank.stl (flat section facing down)
2x pitman rod.stl (laying down flat)
1x platform.stl
1x rod.stl (see printing comment below)
2x samson stand.stl (laying down flat)
1x walking beam (video shows printing upside down. print with fork on the bed)
I found it easiest to print in the following groups:
walking beam (with support and maybe a raft)
rod (with support and likely a raft) laid down flat so the extrusion goes the length of the rod, 0.1mm layer.
everything else (without support)
Timelapse of me printing a modified version of this thing:
