I needed a way to display the Collapsing Master Sword (link below) but couldn't find a pedestal. I used the base of the lock box, doubled the size, and used the widest blade as a starting point for the hole. After some trial and error, I found that adding just a millimeter or 2 on the X & Y worked the best. It's not perfectly snug but I'm able to hold the base at 90 degrees without the sword falling out so it's pretty secure. I also didn't to have to apply a lot of force to either secure or pull the sword from the base. I think it looks more impressive to effortlessly pull it out and have the sword extend on its own.

did you do anything special so that the blade wont collapse fully down? Oh and is this stand for the actual 100% scaling of the sword?

Again apologies for the late reply. Just adding my reply here for the sake of parity. Yes, the scaling is 100% - I did not re-scale the original sword at all. As for it not falling down, that's all friction. The handle is printed at 20 infill so it's not really heavy. I really expected it to fall down by now but it hasn't yet.
