TL;DR: Remodeled the lightstand for 50% scale, now works well when smaller.
My printing bed of 120x120mm did not allow the original scale to be printed. After testing I realized that some gaps would fuse, rendering the entire thing unusable. Especially the center rod was stuck, so every time I tried to unlock the moving plate, it ripped off.
So I tried modifying existing STLs in blender to scale the object itself and increase gaps... and failed. Too many gaps.
Then I said "screw it,
