I picked up this awesome rotating Timex display that I will be converting to display my Tom Kuhn collection. To make it look as professional as possible, I need to get some yo-yo stands 3D printed. I’m hoping that someone in these forums has experience with 3D printing and can advise me on the best approach.

The display has room for 96 yo-yos. Each slot has a 1.5" square to anchor the yo-yo stand into. I want to make sure that the stands are secure in the case because this Timex display is manually rotated and I don’t want the yo-yos flying off if someone tries turning it too fast. I’m hoping to design a stand that can lock, or snap, into place on the existing shelves.

If you can help, or provide advice, I’d really appreciate it! Let me know.

> About six months ago, while traveling for work, I found an old Timex rotating watch display with odd shaped shelves. Id’ been looking for a way to display my Tom Kuhns and I thought this rotating display could be ideal, but it would need some work. I’d seen photos of yo-yo collections in rotating watch displays a few times and always thought the displays would be ideal for showing yo-yos. The one I found was perfect; it would hold 96 yo-yos and had a self-rotating base that allows for the entir…
