I was making a novelty trophy for a coworker and needed a base for it. Wasn't able to find anything that worked for me, so I came up with this quick design which fit the bill.
The pedestal is made up of three components….
The Base which is 70mm in diameter and has a 12.5mm diameter, 5mm deep hole in the top for a mounting post, or anchor for whatever you want on top.
The Nameplate which has a usable area of approx. 14x34mm to put text or graphics on using Prusa Slicer's ability to add text or svg files. You can then use a layer filament change above 0.8mm to print the text in a different color on top. The nameplate then slides into the frame in the base from the top.
Finally, there is the Frame Top which closes the front frame in the base and holds the nameplate into place. Other than the tabs that slide into the top of the frame, the rest has been relieved slightly for a secure fit.
Printing is pretty straight forward, but you will need supports from the build plate for the bottom corners of the front frame. Snug supports work great for this.
Assembly is easy, but the nameplate and Frame Top will likely take a little fitting to ensure a snug fit in the frame to stay in place. Running a deburring tool around the edge of the nameplate, and just a tiny bit of sanding to the pointy ends of the tabs that hold the Frame Top in place should be enough.
Everything should scale cleanly so that you can enlarge the base if you need something bigger.
