Perfect-fit plate stand / bowl stand
Description
In my father's shop, my son made a wooden bowl with an inlay pattern (his school's logo) as a gift for his school's 25th anniversary. After searching Thingiverse for "plate stand" and "bowl stand" and finding nothing, I decided to create a custom stand that would fit the bowl perfectly, and include areas for engraving and embossing text. **The STL file included is for a generic plate.** If you want a customized stand for a bowl or different plate, you **must** adjust the parameters in the OpenSCAD file, which are pretty straightforward. The model for a bowl or plate requires 6 different measurements. * overall height * largest diameter * diameter of top rim * diameter of base * height of rim above largest diameter * depth of recess in base The script creates a virtual bowl with a rounded shape that connects these measurements, and constructs the stand around that virtual bowl. There are several more advanced parameters, for setting text for up to four labels (one on the inside and outside surface of each leg), tilt angle, maximum opening angle, and so on. (13 March 2021 - updated .scad with improved foot cutout for cylindrical bowls; the original STL is still fine though.)
