Instructions

The iPad holder and connector plate are printed as separate parts for easy printing. They can be glued together by adding some superglue to the outer part of the ring. Before adding the glue, first try to press the part in to confirm the fit (it should be snug).

The stand connects to the hinge with a 60mm Hex Socket Bolt. Add the M6 Hex Nut to the cutout in the hinge. Wiggle the hinge over the stand and make sure that the holes line up. Then slide the bold from the other side and tighten it until the hinge fits snugly.

Repeat the steps to connect the iPad holder to the other side of the hinge.

Once everything is attached, you can put the iPad mini into the holder.

Tighten the bolts when needed to assure that the stand keeps the position of the iPad nicely.

That’s it! You’re done! 🎉
 

TIP: The stand fits great with the "Mac mini Pro" enclosure for M4 Mac mini by @Jerrodh!
