My Daughter wanted to have a nice way to present her cake pops.

At first I tried designing this with the honeycomb pattern carefully measured and replicated within Fusion 360.  That.  Was.  Painful.  It couldn't keep up with all the data points.  So, based on what @DennisP did with his Glasses Holder (https://www.printables.com/model/36536-glasses-holder) I let PrusaSlicer do it for me.

 

  1.  Import CakePopStand.stl
  2. Right-click on the model and “Add part”, then “Load…”
  3. Import CakePopMod.stl
  4. In the file list right-click on “CakePopMod” and select “Infill”, then repeat the process to select "Layers and Perimeters" 
  5. For “Infill” change the parameters to 15% and Honeycomb (this gave me just the right size to drop in the cake pop sticks)
  6. For the lower part of the stand I left the “Bottom solid layers” alone, removed the “Top solid layer” (set to 0), and Perimeters set to 1.
  7. For the top part of the stand I changed the “Bottom solid layers” to 0 as well
  8. I was able to print all 6 legs at once and changed my desired height within the slicer based on the length of the cake pop stick

I didn't use any supports and infill was always set to 0 since the structure is inherently stiff and the bridges short.

Finally, sorry for the main photo not having cake pops.  We ate them all while waiting to print everything out!  :D

 

UPDATE: made more cake pops!
