Amiibo Stand System - With Connectors by amarand
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 3 years ago
Edit 12/3/2017: I finally printed a full 3x4 Amiibo stand with connectors! I've uploaded the final print and made it the cover. Yay!
Amiibo were taking over the house, so I decided to do something about it!
First, I made a beautiful stand:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2613221
Which was based on a fantastic guide:
https://imgur.com/gallery/P68cT
I went to print it out, and it was hilariously larger than the maximum size of my FFCP 2016.
So then, I did what any engineer would do: I sketched out a modular system!
Originally, as a test, I made a no-connector (connectorless?) system, that you could use to make your own base, using glue or tape to stick things together:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2625743
That was cool, and it allowed me to test the blocks/modules to make sure they'd print right, look good, and hold Amiibo properly. I'm sure some folks will be happy with the connector-free modules, and will simply use super glue or tape to hold things together.
Me, I knew I wanted something with connectors. I like curves, but I realized that circles are fully symmetrical, and would allow rotation. These should go together perfectly at right angles, 180°, so I decided on a two-way keying system (because one-way is annoying) in the oval. You can connect these right-side-up or upside-down, but that's about it. If you wanted something a little more fool-proof, I could probably do a system that had a softened (curved point) triangle, which would allow for only one real way (the other ways would not be at 90° angles). I could even put in an asymmetrical hole but, honestly, that's just getting too confusing. Plus, these modules are symmetrical, so you can rotate them, and use them however.
There are six different types of modules, in three different heights.
The types of modules are: no holes, one hole, two corner holes, two opposite holes, three holes and four holes. Obviously, the "no holes" won't connect to anything unless you're willing to use glue, tape, or for something stand-alone. I promise I won't judge you! Obviously, the other five modules are for connecting with the provided "rods." The "tight rod" feels like a porn star name. It's not. Printed at Medium (0.2mm) layer height, it's a snug fit. You may have to clean up the end(s) a little bit, but in mine, I just had to give a little pressure and the rod slid into the hole no problem. If one side is tighter, press that side in manually first, and then slide the other module into the looser rod end. That should make things easier.
I was playing with a "max" sized height (maximum Z height of the FFCP 2016 edition), but realized most folks are going to want to start out with the low, medium and high designed here. I used the Fibonacci sequence (Golden Ratio), to design the heights, widths and lengths. I enjoy good design, and hope you find these visually appealing.
I will share my sketch later, so you can see how I originally intended for this to be used. It's a free-form sketch, so don't judge me or my artistic ability!
If you make one of these, please share a Make here. I love to see what people do with my Things. Seriously!
If you have a suggestion, comment or question, please leave a comment somewhere on this Thing. I try to take suggestions and make them a reality. One of the ideas I had originally was to make a two-by on the top, so you could have a larger margin/area to display some of the "fatter" Amiibo, while still looking good. I may share/print the "max" size items, but we'll see how I feel. I think the three-tier system works fairly well, but at some point, when you get out to eight or nine wide, a fourth layer might make it look better than just the three. We'll see.
