The 3D model for the tenting stand I use with my Keyboardio Model 01 keyboard.

WARNING: To avoid wear on your keyboard, you MUST use some sort of pad/bumper between the stand/keyboard and your desk! Using these models, part of the weight of the keyboard rests on one of its wooden edges; this is by design, as it forces a consistent angle between the stand and keyboard. However, you risk chipping the contact point on the keyboard unless you put some sort of padding there! I found that some felt stick-on furniture pads I had lying around worked well for this (I'm using these SoftTouch brand ones).

Usage

Unlike the original models this was based on, mine is not vertically symmetrical, so you must produce 2 different (mirrored) models to print the left and right stands. Use the build_for_left_keyboard_half variable at the top of the model source to switch which half you're rendering a model for.

You'll need to use OpenSCAD to generate files usable by your printer from the source model.scad file.

You can use build.ps1 to generate .stl files for the left and right halves to the /out/ directory (it assumes you're using Windows with OpenSCAD installed to the default location).

I've printed the models in 1.75mm ABS on both a FlashForge Creator Pro and a MakerBot Replicator 2X. I used 30% hexagonal infill and it feels stable (you might be able to get away with less, but I haven't tested it).

Some of the weight of the keyboard rests on an edge of the wood housing. You must use some sort of pad/bumper there to avoid damaging the wood over time.
