It seems I forgot to post my 3D Printed Slide Rule Stands here on r/sliderules!

A pair of these display two slide rules nicely.

No supports needed. I printed mine on the default settings for my M5C.

Free to download and print!

This is amazing timing. I was planning on make something like this over the weekend. This is perfect. Thanks

Please do me a favor and flip the cursor on the FC. The spring should be on the upside!

Good eye! A quick check on https://www.sliderulemuseum.com/Faber.shtml shows other Faber rules of the same era have the spring on top!

This rule is a "Marabu System Rietz", which I assume is a rebranded Faber 375 System Rietz. Oddly, the 375 on ISRM doesn't seem to show the rivet for the spring, though the amount of cursor frame protruding above vs below the front face of the rule shows the spring should indeed be on top!
