I finally finished making my cute little Apple Vision Pro stand that you can also 3D print for free if you want 🥳

My little Apple Vision Pro stand

I want somewhere to put my Vision Pro when not in use. Many people use the original box, and there’s beautiful stands that exist out there, but I was looking for something more compact and vertical so it would take up less room on my desk. So I opened Fusion 360 (which I am still very much learning), grabbed my calipers, and set out to design a little stand. There was interest when I showed the first version, so I set out to tidying it up a bit before making it available.

Apple Vision Pro Stand by christianselig

This is a stand for the Apple Vision Pro I made out of a desire to have a compact, vertical stand for my desk and being unable to find one available that did that. You can either print the included rod, or use a dowel of your own choosing that is 0.75" and 215 mm in length (using something fun like walnut, brass, copper, or steel can add a cool look!). It uses four 6 mm rubber feet on the bottom. This is for my 23W light seal model, I'm admittedly not sure how other sizes work with this. Might need to scale the pringle up/down. I printed mine on a Bambu P1S with white marble PLA filament (also from Bambu). I recommend binding all the pieces together with superglue. This is a stand I made for fun in Fusion 360. If you print this and something bad happens I do not take responsibility. You are free to distribute/sell this physically if you would like, but please do not distribute the software files on any other site.

@christianselig Thank you so much for making this! FYI I think there is something slightly wrong with the .3mf file if you intended to include the dowel as a 2nd plate, for example. I found the STL for the dowel on the model page, but you don't see it if you download the 3mf file and just open it to print.
Show threadChristian SeligFeb 19, 2024
@domserio Oops, I'll look into including that optionally! I’d definitely recommend sourcing a dowel externally though

@christianselig $1,000?

@Eggfreckles no is free

@christianselig but half a Euro after the first million downloads?

@Eggfreckles hahah

@christianselig are you not afraid that putting the entire weight of the device on the cushion will have an impact on it after a while ?
Show threadChristian SeligFeb 19, 2024
@jonathangrenier Maybe! We'll find out 😛 Not super worried, and if it does it's only $29 to replace it
Show threadChris WagnerFeb 21, 2024
@christianselig @jonathangrenier wow, surprisingly low considering the polishing cloth is $19

@christianselig Next step, wireless charging?

@hybridhavoc I was considering that

@christianselig Thank you for this (and also for Juno)! I printed out a stand for another VR headset that I’ve been using since the day I got the Vision Pro, but I have not been very happy with it. This looks perfect.

@nmann Shapr is awesome! I was looking for something with parametric support though since it makes editing/tweaking a lot easier. I think Shapr is working on that though

@christianselig totally forgot to answer, sorry. I only do such basic stuff that I didn’t even know what that was. Seems to be implemented now as per this mail in case you want to check it out ^^

You rock Christian! I don’t have a 3D printer, but going to get it printed via 3rd party. This is exactly the stand I’ve been wanting. Saw something similar on Behance

@whatthecj Ooo, that's snazzy, the steel is so much cooler haha

@christianselig yours is cooler because it's real and exists!! Thank you again -- now i just need to figure out how to navigate PCBWay to get it printed
