I ordered 2 of these to try them out (have a TR8s that I’d like to tilt up as well) and they are not half bad!
Sticks out a bit too much in the back for the Duo X, but for my TR8s this is actually perfect!
Seem more solid, and don’t slip as much, as an ikea laptop stand I have. I wouldn’t stand on them, but on my desk this makes my gear much more accessible now
Yesterday, I made a wood stand (Cherry and Maple for the logo) as a test of my design.
I am not happy with how the logo turned out. There is not enough definition in the details but I know what went wrong and I’ll fix it in the next build.
Also, and more important, the leg is not wide enough and I think it will make the stand “wobble” in the heat of the action if someone presses too hard on the buttons of the DuoX.
So, for those of you who would like to 3D print the ModX Stand, here are the STL files.
I designed it with an M5 bolt and nut in mind but you can either edit the drawings or send me a message telling me the bolt format you would like to use.
I did not have time to print it myself but contact-me if you have any problems with the files.
The stand seems to be most stable somewhere in the middle. The way the rubber feet fit exactly into place feels really nice
I also put a little rubber mat underneath gear on my desk so it doesn’t slip and also dampens any vibrations.
Btw the hole is missing from the design, I might ‘remix’ the stand-design a bit to allow for this. Had to very carefully drill it by hand, luckily everything still works ok
What do you mean by “The stand seems to be most stable somewhere in the middle”. Does that mean there is an issue when working the controls on the sides?
Sorry about the hole, I’ll look into it and repost the STL.
@Simon i’m in canada (toronto), and would be delighted to test with my duo X… are you still looking to ship it to someone in canada? feel free to PM me…
