Tear-off calendars are usually hung on the wall with a few nails. However, to put the calendar on a desk or table is not possible. This simple stand provides a nice way to put it for display. 

 

The stand is modeled in FreeCAD 1.0.0 and is fully parametric (not compatible with earlier versions). 

The read-to-go models are for a calendar with the dimensions of 182 x 132 x 34 mm ( h x w x d). 

 

I printed it with 11 bottom layers and 4 top layers with 8% lightning infill, using PLA with a 0.4 mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.26. This makes for a rock-solid stand that does not even want to tip over a little bit - quite the opposite. 
My recommendation would be to save some filament by using fewer bottom layers - quite possibly 3-4 are enough, as the design is apparently quite stable as is. 

The infill could be increased slightly, though and/or additional top layers used, especially with silk PLA, as the infill remained visible. 

 

As I mis-measured the calendar myself, the example shown is 83mm and the calendar is held in place using a string, which works fine, too.
