Stand for the Teenage Engineering “OP” line of synths.

Works on a desk or in your lap, and is designed for use with:

• OP-1
• OP-1 Field
• OP-XY (retains access to the pitch bend controller)

The minimum angle is 20º and supports larger angles by rotating and repositioning the feet. Has enough clearance to keep a Decksaver on your synth. 3D-printed plastic tends to slide on hard surfaces so I added rubber feet to the bottom of the stand (not shown in pics) to prevent that from happening. (It'd be interesting to see this printed in TPU!)

I purposefully made the tolerances tight to prevent shift/wobble while playing the synth. 

The PETG print profile with 1/256" clearance between the parts and a .28mm layer height was my first design. It worked for me, but the fit is snug and while you can reposition the feet, it's a bit of work. When I tried that clearance and layer height with PLA, the fit between pieces was too tight to easily slide together. I had to hammer the feet into the base, which isn't desired if you want to retain angle adjustability. Printing PLA at .20mm layer height with the PETG + 1/256" clearance print profile fixed the tightness issue for me on my printer, but increased the print time. So, I created a PLA version…

The PLA print profile retains the .28mm layer height, but uses a 1/128" clearance between the parts. This change resulted in nicely fitting parts that make repositioning the feet easy while maintaining the same stability. I do not detect any shifting or wobble while playing.

I recommend trying the PLA 1/128" clearance print profile, first.

If you want to experiment on your own I've included two extra 3MF files available in the STL/CAD download option. Both are raw 3MF output directly from Fusion. “256” has the 1/256" clearance and “128” has a 1/128" clearance. Contact me if you need/want one that has an even looser tolerance or a specific mm clearance, but the 1/128" version should work for you. 

FWIW, I do realize that 3D-printers are oriented around metric, but I still think in imperial from woodworking, and tbh, 1/128" and 1/256" seem to work for me as dependable repeatable tolerances for snug-fitting assemblies.

Notes: 

• I haven't yet run into a strength issue resulting from printing the feet vertically which could result in a weak structure susceptible to torque/shear forces. If you experience that issue, try increasing the number of walls first, then printing the feet horizontally or at 45º instead of vertically.
• The PETG version takes longer to print than the PLA version because its print profile is tweaked for the X1C and PETG, which in my experience, requires slowing down print speeds. Feel free to tweak the settings to your personal prefs.

I designed this from scratch in Fusion, so while this isn't a straight-up remix, I took inspiration from this simply and elegantly designed phone stand:
