Embroidery Stand (hoop holder)

A fully 3D printable embroidery stand. No extra hardware is required. It can be disassembled easily for portability. The clearances in the model range from 0.2 to 0.4, and I've only tested the print on a Bambu X1C which has pretty good tolerances.

The OnShape source is available here:

There are variables for:

• base_segment_length = 150mm
• clearance = 0.2mm
• pillar_height = 200mm

Printing

Print 2 of every part except for the base-middle (bank or decorated).

Settings

• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Wall Thickness: 6 loops (you can probably get away with fewer)

Supports

The only part that needs support during printing is the clamp-bolt. Supports should be added under the floating threaded bolt. I used paint-on supports in the slicer.

Be sure to print the pillar pieces laying down, as the files are oriented in standing position.

Magnets (Optional)

The base pieces have slots for small magnets to help them snap together. The voids are sized for disc magnets with thickness of 2mm and diameter of 6mm.

These are not required, but if you want to include them, then the base pieces should be paused on layer 42 to insert magnets. Take care to insert them all in the correct orientations.

Issues

The thumb nuts tighten down properly, but they will quickly backoff and become loose when the hoop is rotated, requiring re-tightening. Let me know if you have any suggestions for addressing it.
