For replacing a snapped stem or giving a flyer more height. The flat foot superglues to any base, and the top joins the model with either a peg that fits a hole you drill or a ball joint so you can pose it.
The STLs are 15, 20, 30 and 35mm stems with a 4.8mm foot and a peg 1.8mm across and 4mm long, plus a 20mm stem with a 4mm ball. The height is the stem itself, so the peg or ball adds a little on top.
For other heights or joints, open stem.scad in OpenSCAD and use the Customizer panel (Window › Customizer). It needs a recent development snapshot of OpenSCAD (2024 or later), because the 2021.01 release is too old.
What you can change in the .scad:
Stem height and foot diameter
Connection: a peg (diameter and length) or a ball (diameter)
This is part of HobbyKit, a free generator I made. hobbykit.app makes these in a browser, along with magnetised bases to stand them on and holders and trays to match.
