So... I got roped into working a table at a figure skating event, and I was expected to sell candy. Lollipops, to be exact. If I'm going to do it, it's going to be done right! So I designed and printed these suckers (giggle).

Each one is a half-moon, and two can be printed on a 200mm x 200mm bed. They are 150mm high. The holes are octagonal and able to accept a 6mm wide cylinder stick, and the spacing is 20mm (~7/8" diameter) on center for the heads. the holes are on about a 20 degree downward angle, so the candy won't fall out. The shafts are 50mm long (~2"), and are pass-through, meaning any dirt inside the hole can be pushed through to the back, and longer handles can carry-on through the holder into the center of the stand.

There's a 20mm (~7/8") foot on the sides and front to prevent an imbalance as the candy is removed or inserted. There's even a 1mm (~3/64")wide slot by 100mm (~4") long in the top, 20mm (~7/8") deep for a cardstock sign to be slid inside for the price or promotion.

I have a single and a double STL here for you, so enjoy!

For my test, I'm currently printing TWO of these guys, with orcaslicer, and here are the non-default settings I'm using:

QUALITY:

3% gyroid infil
0.32 layer weight
0.3 first layer
0.35 sparse infill
Wipe on loops
wipe before external loop

STRENGTH:

2 wall loops
3 top shell layers
3 bottom shell layers

OTHERS:

fuzzy contours
auto brim

All that said, the TOTAL ESTIMATION is:

Filament: 126.03m, 375.88g
Cost: $11.28 (CAD) (more or less, depending on filament
Total Time: 18hr 26m

I'm using black regular PLA, a Neptune 4 MAX.

Take, use, remix, print, whatever. I like designing things and hope this helps people!
