First of all I like to thank everyone of you for your great support, skills, pre-orders and basically making all this good stuff available for most people.
Would like to thank Kite for making the AiO (came out nice and I am super happy with my first GBZ) and Wermy for running Sudomod and making an idea to reality. Of course thanks goes to Helder for his awesome PCB design and being the important part of making this build a piece of cake for most of us here
Thank you guys!I am about to build my 2 mintyPis and I love to show off my handheld (legit or custom) collection inside a glass cabinet. (WAF is very low though, so I got my own room with all my Nerd Stuff, yeah!)
I wanted to give something back to this great community, so I designed a stand for the minty Pi. It does support the Altoids tin with all its internals. It stands in a 25 degree angle and you can put it in closed or open without falling over, even when pushed. So its your choice to "show off" or "show off off"
I have cut out a little bit at the bottim to make room for the power switch and added the awesome logo and MintyPi font to the front of the stand. (Thanks @ Wermys Friend (?)
)Keep in mind these pictures are done with an iPhone, bad light, it's a testprint, and the mintypi is not even ready (although I have put all components in to simulate the weigth).
The print came out ugly AF. For a test I printed with 60mm/s, PLA at 195°C (Bed 55) and 0,3mm layer Hight. It came out bad as expected. Print time was 43mins at these settings. And I just wanted to quickly have something to test with, so I printed with bad quality.

You might be wondering why there is a gap in the bottom. Well, that is to reduce print times and use of plastic. The stability isn't affected.
I recommend the following print settings:
40-50mm/s
0,12mm layer hight
4 top and bottim layers
2 perimeters
90% layer hight for the first layer and 35% speed for first layer. (see attached my S3D settings).
Print time at these settings: 2:03hrs. (but its worth the wait to have a nice clean and clear stand)
But it all comes down to your experience and of course which printer you have

Excuse my English. Sometimes I believe it’s hard to read for native speakers. Don't shot me, I am German
Hope you guys like it
