Replacement Stand for Ziss Hatchery

Added 2023-10-17 02:04:15 +0000 UTC

After a couple of months of testing, I think the "frustration free" Ziss hatchery stand is ready to venture out in the world.

I have included four height variants between 7 and 10 inches (original was 8in), along with a second set with a greater angle on the feet for printers that might struggle with the overhang.

This model prints upside down as shown in the image above. This was the best orientation I could find to print this as a single part. I know the overhang seems like an aggressive angle, but it has been no trouble on an Ender 3 when printed at or around these settings:

0.2mm layer height

30% infill density

1.0-1.2mm wall thickness (slightly better quality at 1.0mm for me)

25mm/s wall speed

35mm/s infill speed

I always err on the side of slower print speeds but for these tall, thin columns and ambitious overhangs, I suspect it will be very helpful to slow things down. Let me know how it works for you.

Enjoy!
