Could the latest addition to your studio be something completely different and un-musical? Ergonomics are important. A great big desk is often the foundation of a DAWless setup, and then setting up your synths, sequencers and drum-machines at useable angles comes next. So whilst you could go and buy some fancy stands (see more about synth stands) if you have a 3D printer, you can also design and print your own.
Or even easier is to search for existing models that might fit and remix them. I started out with something easy, a 3D Printed iPad stand to get the iPad a good angle for me.
I also tried out some side panels to attach to the Behringer Crave, Edge, Spice or Grind.
Its not just synth stands that you can 3D print, how about some customized blanking plates for your modular setup? (or even the panels for you own modules!) I took a standard blank panel template from Makerworld.com and added some text to customize it, that I saw in a cartoon.
Or how about some clips to hold headphones out of the way on the edge of your desk.
Or customized knobs and controls, like the excellent Darth Fader I found on printables.com, although frustratingly, this one does not fit my mixer yet, I need to make some adjustments to the design I found!
I am currently using the Bambulab A1 3D Printer for all of the prints shown here and so far I am finding it to be an excellent budget/beginners option if you are just getting started in 3D printing.
Beginner 3D printers available on Amazon
