Drawing stand for iPad mini (7th gen)

“iDraw”

The iPad mini is certainly the most comfortable in terms of portability, for reading and traveling... but if you want to draw? Definitely too small.

This stand brings it to an acceptable size for drawing (34.5 cm x 23.5 cm), allows you to rest your wrist, and thanks to the inclination, you can sit straighter and more comfortably. To unlock the iPad, simply touch the screen and enter the code; having Touch ID, I preferred not to make a large hole, which would have been asymmetrical. You can freely choose the colors based on your preferences.

For the model in the photo, I used PLA Matte and Bambu Lab PLA Basic, but if you want a more durable stand, use PLA CF or PETG or PETG CF.

If you like the model, I plan to add speaker holes, a vertical holder for the Pencil, TPU inserts for the legs to improve grip on any surface, and a quick-release system for the legs to store it easily and compactly.

Do you have any other ideas to improve it? Let me know, I appreciate it!

The base is divided into 4 parts, does not block the buttons, leaves the camera free, and there is space to store the Pencil and insert the charger.

Required: 8 M3x8 screws, 24 M3x12 screws, and 32 M3x5.7 threaded inserts.
