Summary
It all started when I printed the pasta rack that this is a remix of. I noticed that the tall stand and the free spinning, yet not loose arms, could also work for something else. An initiative tracker.
The files included here for feet and stand are IDENTICAL to that of which this is a remix of. They are not my work, as such I can not and do not have original files for them. I only included them here in case you wanted to print these and didn't want to go over to a different link.
Please feel free to stop by and give the original designer some well worthy praise

The items marked nameplate, these I designed in tinkercad using 4 simple shapes. If anyone wants please comment. I will gladly send over the files if you want to do something with them.
There are 4 different files, they are all the same thing, just cut off at different points. other than the full, the idea is to print 2 and sandwich a sheet of paper, index card, cardboard or something similar in thickness between two of them to work as a nameplate. The full can be scaled if needed (height/z-axis) for taller/shorter items. I can confirm all 4 files work. I am actually using the qtr and test file mostly since they are the quickest to print, and being the smallest, they allow for the most flexibility on the stand.
Only the full requires supports.
I got the idea from this by watching Dungeon Dudes (YouTube and Twitch)

They have this below item, and use frequently.

More realistically, this item is much, much more similar to https://axenshield.com/product/initiative-tracker/
(The item here costs about $25 maybe plus shipping) you can print one of these up in about 15 hours and for about 200g of filament. (based on my experience and settings at least)
Technically, you can incorporate some kind of magnet into this and make permanent name tags for some players if you want. I am going to stick with friction (no pun intended).
Print Settings
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
CR-10S
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.2
Infill:
20%
Notes:
Supports ONLY needed for full, no other items require this.
Rafts shouldn't matter too much, yet for tall items, I tend to feel better about my print with them. (The stand top/bottom)
Resolution and Infill aren't super important. The .2 resolution IS needed for the track in the nameplates. You can go smaller, yet any bigger and it will print as a straight line.
Infill, not important, I use 20% as my default and it seems sturdy enough for my use.
