Anyone has this? Is it any good? Is it from KS?

I installed one and wasn't impressed. 

EUC:s tend to be top- heavy, so a kickstand does not work in real life, be it V11 or S18. The wheel needs to be either absolutely level or lightly pointing uphill. And still it is so unstable that even the lightest push makes it fall.

For S18, a better option is to add some protective tape and set it to lean on its nose.

If you like it,

Check also for suspension forks gasket holder. And pedal opener

Even better. Now I definitely must learn to use a 3D printer!:clap3: 

I mean, there are some available for free (?) in public libraries here, but I have to check the terms and conditions

The 3D printed kickstand mentioned above works well. It uses a unique spring. The spring has a detention bump that slides past the foldable part. Be careful with this action at first. Filing a slight slope approach that helps with deflection. This  help prevent breaking the spring. After opening a few times and tensioning the pivot screws I have had problem free usage.

I broke the spring on PLA and PETG. Testing with Ninjatek Armadillo now.

Try another printing orientation that would keep the spring stronger

I don't have any pc right now to help you, but mine is pla and working ok for several months.

You can also try the first version. It didn't have spring but a kind of protuberance.

I attached it.
