The Problem: I realized, while attempting to play something live (without the PC) that I had no instruments with drums in my big synth rack. My little Roland JD-Xi lived on the other side of the room.
The Solution: 3D printing! I have a small wooden shelf (made from 1×12 lumber, 0.75 inch thickness) above the rack, which normally holds a monitor and keyboard that I never use. I measured the JD-Xi and the shelf, and whipped up a bracket in FreeCAD to hold the synth at a 50 degree angle.
I realize that this is an absolutely specific, esoteric Thing, but I’m throwing it out here in the hopes that it might be useful to someone. I’m also including the FreeCAD source file. Please don’t laugh at it.
