I think I might have made something really cool and useful for the community. I couldn't find a display stand for my minis that fit my exact wants, so I made myself a tool. I started to make files to publish and then realised that no matter how many I make, there's always going to be someone who wants something slightly different. So, I built it again entirely in OpenSCAD and have hosted it on MakerWorld's parametric generator, completely free for everyone. If I gets enough traction and interest I would love to develop this further based on community feedback.
Here is what it can currently do:
- Universal Base Support: It handles perfect Circles, Pill/Ovals (great for Outriders/Cavalry), pure Squares/Rectangles (Old World/Fantasy), and Hexagons (Underworlds/Battletech).
- Amphitheater Mode: Instead of just linear grids, it can calculate polar coordinates to wrap your army in a curved "Colosseum" arc around a centerpiece model. (It even auto-rotates oval bases so they all face the center!)
- Modular Expansion: As your army grows, you don't have to print boxes. You can tell the generator to "Start at Tier 4," and it will generate an extension block that perfectly docks behind your existing 3-tier print.
- Seamless Tiling: The linear mode auto-calculates interlocking side-bites so you can print multiple blocks and snap them together seamlessly.
I won't link here in case it breaks community rules, but you can find the tool by searching Infinistand on MakerWorld. I have also exported out standard 32mm and 40mm varieties if you just want to skip the generator and get straight to printing.
Here are some pics of the prints I've managed to do so far but please excuse my mini painting, I'm trying my best!
