Hello there,
I designed a 3D printed stand for Digitone / Digitakt.
I know this is not a new subject but I wanted some feedback.
Do you like it?
Any comments and thoughts on what’s missing or how to improve it?
I made a video about the design process and 3d printing :
Stand design
Anyone coud be interested with the CAD file?
Cheers all!
Hi, and welcome to the forum!
I will look at your video when i have wifi 
Thank you for interest
Hi, what degree is the tilt angle of your design? thanks.
@shigginpit 20°
Thanks
You’re welcome!
I don’t really understand what your intentions are with this cut out at the lower front:
Is this just design aesthetic or did you have some functional intention behind this choice?
Also, have you measured the correct distance of the necessary vesa mount screws with the rubber digi feet in place so that people don’t purchase the wrong screws which are too long and end up damaging the lower PCB?
The idea was to make place to some cables going underneath, like headphones etc… to keep it tidy.
Cool and pretty unusual looking design. Organic Enjoyed the process video and music
Thank you!!
First of all, it’s super awesome that you’re sharing this – something that I’ve seen less and less in the 3d printing world. Secondly, I am writing this in a respectful manner, so please don’t be mad or disencouraged.
As a person who’s into 3D printing since early Enders, gosh, this is not something I would call good industrial design. It’s needlessly overcomplicated (which I can force myself to understand if you’re going for a special look), wasteful in terms of filament (which I cant, because there’s enough plastic in the world), and suboptimal in terms of rigidity (the organic thing in the middle will never be stronger that any kind of infill in a normal wall with, say, 3 perimeters). Plus, the print is stringing/scarred because of the need to print supports. No to mention, it’s not an easy print for newcomers.
There are already far simpler solutions to what you’re trying to achieve.
Some examples:
And even the goofy ones are more practical:
(this is the one I’m using – just for reference)
Again, I feel kinda horrible for having to write this, but you did want feedback. Hope that’s OK.
Why do you need the front wall if there are screw holes to fix a box on the stand?
No problem, I understand perfectly your point, no offense.
To explain a little bit more, I started by making a more “sensible” kind of stand, that could be made in metal too, but it was irrelevant since I was going to print it in 3D.
I wanted something not only rational, but more expressive, using the liberty of the 3d printing process. I didn’t want to make the more simple stand, for sure!
2 clamps should be enough, yes, but anyone can do it, and it already exists.
The organic shape is quiet strong in fact, but I understand your point, this is not the most economical stand
For me the added value of 3d printing is the freedom to achieve impossible shapes using classic process. Making this at home is eliminating, transport, packaging, shop etc…
Maybe it’s a little bit over the top, thank you for your feedback anyway!
For safety reason, screws on plastics are not totally 100% secure.
You more likely break cheap screws than 2mm PETG in this configuration. I broke a screw or two this way
PLA is brittle and cracks easily, I agree. PETG less prone to crack, it’ll twist first.
