The metal base/foot of my old air pump broke away. I printed a new stand for it.

The thin metal base/foot of my (very old) hand operated air pump broke away. I needed something to stabilize the body of the pump while I pumped it. I made this model in FreeCAD.

It's nothing fancy. But the strength is in the fillet and it's important to use a Modifier in your slicer to force a lot of walls around the periphery of the cylinder. (I put cutouts in the base as a way to force the slicer to print walls in the bottom. (Thanks, Slant3d.)

I made this one out of PLA. If it breaks, I'll try PLA+ or PCTG next. 0.4 mm nozzle. 0.20 mm layer height. Update: PLA print broke at a seam line. I printed another on the 45 degree angle in PCTG.
