I recently grabbed a NIIMBOT D11 thermal label printer, which is a small/portable device for printing labels. It works well enough (I’m working on a full review for another post) but one of the things that annoyed me is that it cannot stand upright on a desk
For some reason the designers decided that a rounded bottom would be fine, and so it you can lay it down, you can stand it upside down, but you cannot stand it upright, so I fixed that.
This design took a few iterations, and I ended up adding the cutout to use less material, and (hopefully) allow for printing in less time.
This is one of those things I really thought would exist already, but a cursory search yielded no results. So here it is.
As usual, the OpenSCAD file is included if you want to make changes. The BOSL2 library is needed, and this is the first real project I’ve used it on, but it will not be the last.
You can get the STL and .scad file from Printables.com – NIIMBOT D11 Stand. Print it if you need it!
