Head Stand for WM Doll Heads
I needed one for my eye display head so I came up with this... The oval wood plaques are only a couple of bucks at Hobby Lobby...

The neck assembly would be 3d printed in 2 pieces (neck part and a rounded cap), and fastened to the wood base with #10 screws.
I'll probably add some rubber feet on the bottom so it can be placed on a counter or dresser top. Simply turn the head 180 degrees for a better working angle... What y'all think?

I'd take one if it had a good price point.

The Doll God said it all. I think I need one of those too!DollAfficionado wrote:This would be very nice as too often my doll's head ends up rolling all over the bed or countertop while I am cleaning or otherwise manipulating a doll.

Others might like to purchase this item for their Doll ( You know how the Dolls like too look good! )
What might be the price point, with some profit for you be?

Guess I'll have to get a prototype made here pronto and see how this goes.

One of the beautiful things about 3d printing is that changes can be easily made since there are no molds involved.
The only one I'm familiar with at the moment is the WM dolls. I think some of the other TPE dolls use the same system since they are made in the same factory. I'd have to get the info for other doll makes in order to make variations.

Re: Head Stand for WM Doll Heads
They have several sizes and shapes. The chamfered rectangle shape would also work if the oval isn't stable enough.
They had a lot more of these in stock, but I prefer the oval shape if it will work. These self stick rubber pads will work great for the feet...

Thanks Mr. Wizard!Wizard407 wrote:Very cool! You might have yourself an excellent start for a side business
Here's the prototype finished.
Pretty simple, not a lot to it.
Decided to use up some of the transparent filament that I probably won't be using for anything else, so the neck cap looks a little funky.
You can see the internal lattice fill pattern through the surface... Tomorrow I'll attach the head and give it a stability test.
I may make a little YouTube showing how it works.
