K2 Trio 110 inline skates snap-on stand

The most vexing thing about inline skates/rollerblades, at least for me, is that they do not stand by themselves. They have to lie on the ground, to lean against something or to be hung somewhere. I do not use any fancy skate-carrying backpack so the same problem arises when carrying them around: I cannot even count how many times I had to fish them from under the train seat where they inevitably slid as the train accelerated/braked.

So I designed these simple snap-on stands that make the skates stay upright by themselves and stay on even while carrying around. They lift the rear wheel slightly up.

They are designed specifically for K2 Trio 110 skates but might fit other 3-wheel skates.

Print one for each skate and snap them on the frame in the rear gap between wheels. I printed them in PETG to make them a bit more flexible.

2023-07-10 Update: I uploaded updated version (v2) of the stand which has prolonged sides above upper teeth that allows simpler manipulation with the stand.

The PETG print was not too strong in the end as I expected. Sometimes I forget to remove the stand so I smash it against the ground… I crushed the lower teeth on one such event. So I reprinted it in the ASA Prusament which seems to be much tougher and withstands the abuse, so far.
