New project: 5" riser for a single light rack device.
What you see is a test fit without final paint. The boxes with the warning triangles have large circles on the reverse side, a minimal speaker cone. These boxes will be painted with an extremely black paint. The horizontal truss will be painted silver to give the stand the appearance of a large club installation.
There isn’t any internal bracing, so stability will depend on the quality of the glue joints. I might make an enhanced version so that it doesn’t collapse when I inevitably place more stuff on top of the 828.
The functional goal of this thing is to get the audio interface above any individual synth that I own. That will ensure front panel access, which is important since the 828 is also a digital mixer
Mostly assembled:
I have a second set of parts that I’m finishing up. I may leave this one in primer-white and paint only the second one in Black 2.0.
I’m calling this done, for now. I have a few ideas for improvement, but the current design is more than good enough to hold up the 828 and something else.

Looks awesome, how is the heat dissipation?

The 828’s vents are on the side, not the top. Putting the Sherman above shouldn’t be a problem.
If anything, setting a rack device up like this should allow for more air flow and thus heat dissipation.

Needs some tiny spots and lasers hanging on the rigging!
It looks great all painted up

A cover for the Korg/ARP 2600m.
I originally intended to cut this on a small laser cutter so made the faces out of multiple panels.

For a stronger stand even with only 3mm available, just cut multiples of the part with a hole for an alignment pin — a machine screw is fine — and glue them together with regular wood glue. Make sure you’ve spread the glue evenly across the whole surface and put something heavy on the stack while it’s drying. Not quite as strong as the equivalent plywood, but very close. My local shop goes up to 6mm, but I’ve done this sometimes when that wasn’t enough.
