🛠 Recommended Stand – Build Overview​

The Recommended Stand is the most accessible way to mount your Founders Edition Shot Clock. It’s lightweight, stable, and requires minimal effort to assemble — no workshop required.

🧩 What You'll Be Building​

This build uses:

  • A umbrella weighted base (to keep things stable)
  • 2x ¾" 36" steel pipe (threaded on both ends)
  • A ¾" coupling fitting (to connect your pipes)
  • A 3D-printed TPU adapter (to fit snugly into the base)

The end result is a modular, sturdy stand that’s easy to transport and customize.

info

This build is to create one stand, for one shot clocking unit. To get stands for both units in your set, you must build two of these stands.

🛒 How It Comes Together​

  1. The umbrella base acts as the weighted foundation
  2. The pipe fits directly into the stand base, and threads into the flange on the bottom of your unit.
  3. A single 3D printed part helps secure the pipe into the stand base.

This setup requires no power tools, minimal assembly time, and can be sourced from Amazon, Home Depot, or Lowe’s.

tip

This is the recommended option because it balances portability, cost, and professionalism — without the need for cutting, drilling, or measuring.
