I needed display stands for my growing collection of rockhounding fossils and minerals. I now have a complete set of 3d printable gem and mineral displays available, both blank and labeled.
This includes:
-Total of 48 display stands for 3d printing in STL format.
-
Four (4) different styles of display stands (square, rectangle, square with prongs, rectangle with prongs), in multiple sizes (ranging from 1cm x 1cm to 10cm x 5cm [3.93in x 1.96in]), without text. The displays without prongs feature a cavity to assist with holding the minerals in place. They may also be used for other collectible item displays. They potentially can be resized even larger.
-
Labeled displays for Agate, Amethyst, Fluorite, Garnet, Quartz, and Pyrite in all 4 styles. I have included photos of customized bases with additional text added from my own collection for example purpose of what is possible with these files; these are not available to download through this listing for now. If there is enough requests for a specific name/specimen, I may include that in future updates.
It is possible to add text on your own to the blank displays using TinkerCad or similar software. However, text size will depend on your printer's printing resolution and may not be possible for the smaller sizes. I was able to print down to size 8 font on the 3x3cm square.
I have found these display stands immensely helpful in organizing my collection. Please let me know if you have questions about them. These are available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.en)
