Desktop stand that is not end cheeks?

I have it like this. Imagine you put the OT where the TB-3 is. That would stack them and also have a pleasent cording situation. I would imagine that the top unit would benefit from being slightly tilted up for reachability.
These shelves also slide in after use so minimal space is required when inactive. Also, the standard dust cover fits on the units.

Really interesting for me, did you built all yourself or found something already built?

It is already built, kind of. Its a combination of a 4U desktop rack and added rack mounted trays. I got everything from Thomann. It’s kind of pricey but very robust.

This is the screw-less design I came up with but never realized as I use the same-ish cheeks as depicted only with screws. It was less parts = less cutting. Laser cut would be the best approach for this but I didn’t find the time and energy to contact some local workshop company.
Btw, one Elektron box fits below nicely even with the lid.

I have one of these. It’s quite sturdy and heavy. I don’t have three elektrons but imagine the third sitting on the base.

Thanks for the links. Yep, pricey but well done as far as i can see.
I’ll consider for future.

Nice, i don’t like so much the curvy shapes, but if you have laser cnc i can imagine that you can do them at any shape without so much effort.
Actually i did a double-device side panels in wood, bought panels in one of these big hardware stores and then cut as needed (got measures in another thread) myself with vertical saw.
Actually they’re under wood painting, as soon as ready, and combined with my elektron boxes, i’ll post some pictures.

so far haven’t seen anything that’s jumping out at me as most solutions look like they’re fixed setups and require disassembly to remove a unit…why doesn’t someone make one that has shelves or brackets that they sit on instead?

deadmengods · 2015-01-09T23:16:00.000Z

I use this

A4 on the stand and AR on the desk in front of it…

Got nothing for you bro,
Just a tip.
Why not use acrylic instead of timber. Glues nicely, cuts nicely.
Ive made cheeks and am happy.
I dont gig though.

Not layered, but a cheap stand I thought I’d share comes from the youtube instructions here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSyYEvkQO0Q)

and looks like this:

Is it sturdy and looks ok? You wouldn’t happen to have a picture of it?

Edit: I googled around and found some images of it with Elektron machines. Looks perfect for my setup. Great tip!

Rics · 2015-01-20T10:18:36.000Z

Finished mine, wood sides for A4 and Rytm, simple multilayer wood finished with wood paint.
Got sizes and dimensions from another thread that i can’t find right now.

I can vouch for the Rain stand because I’ve used with laptops before. it’s very sturdy and looks great, but is quite expensive for what it is
i’m currently using one of these:

Those are end cheeks, buddy. OP was looking for stands that are “not end cheeks.”

Sure, here’s some pics anyway…

If I need to get some more space on the desk, the Rytm slides in under the stand with 5 mm marginal
