Stand for Grogu's Toy Ball (Razor Crest control lever) by mooslug

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

A stand for a Baby Yoda toy ball! It's an attempt to make a screen accurate lever base as seen on the Razor Crest cockpit set. It features recesses for magnets in the bottom for attaching to metal surfaces - doesn't your fridge need a control lever?
There are two versions of the base:
RazorCrest_Lever_Base.stl (2.5" diameter, slightly smaller than it should be)
RazorCrest Lever Base 3 inch.stl (3" diameter, more screen accurate; pictured in orange)
There is also a baseplate for the larger base piece (includes holes for mounting via 8-32 button head cap screws and nubs to attach the "Lever Base 3 inch" housing part):

I used these parts from McMaster for the ball and arm:
Aluminum Ball Knob with 1/2"-13 Threaded Hole, 1-3/8" Head Diameter - https://www.mcmaster.com/6940K47/
18-8 Stainless Steel Partially Threaded Stud 1/2"-13 Thread, 4" Long - https://www.mcmaster.com/97042A552/
The 4" stud is pictured, but I think the 5.5" version is more screen accurate to the actual set (the set itself varies some as well).

If you already have a ball replica with different threading, here's the overall category page:https://www.mcmaster.com/partially-threaded-studs/partially-threaded-studs-5/
You'll also need two 8-32 x 1/2" flat head hex drive screws for the pivot, in black oxide (pictured are two stainless ones, painted black as that's what the local store had):https://www.mcmaster.com/91253A194/
Optionally, 4 disc magnets for the base, either 6x3 mm or 1/4" x 1/8"
NOTE: When assembling, use a dab of super glue gel to lock the threads of the screws within the pivot piece. The heads of the screw will rotate against the holes in the base. Without the glue, the screws will loosen as the lever is moved.
