Angling up the cab for rehearsals - anyone got any elegant and styling ways of doing it?

Just another thing...I have a surplus PA speaker stand and just bought a pair of 35mm top-hat fixings.  I've cut a core out of one of my Darkglass 1x12s, installed the top-hat and have stuck it on the stand.  It goes up and down, it rotates.  Neat job, lovely.  Sweaty now.

Length of 2" Square - or 4x2 wood tucked under the front edge, or behind the front feet... but it's all about the balance point!

Use a spare bandmate.

I hoped it was tucked under his butt, but it may be completely missing...

 

Take a look at the hybrid cymbal/elbow!

I made a simple angled stand for my Yamaha HS7 monitor using a 3d printer and some aluminium 2040 extrusion. The sides and angle of the stand are printed and the width is from the aluminium extrusion. It looks very neat and is very light. 

 

I know that it can take 100kg. Don't ask me how I know 😊

 

If it needed any more support I'd add a middle section, but it's basically the same as my 3d printed pedalboards. I put 3M rubber strip on the bottom and a lip at the back and it's rock solid. Not sure what the size limit is as I don't have any monster cabs or amps.

 

If you want to put something on the top, I made a smaller but reverse angle stand that sits on the speaker that is smaller and takes a mixer. The lip then hooks over the front of the speaker. 

 

I'll add pictures when I get back if anybody is interested.

Sounds great @rwillett! I'm always keen to see how people have designed solutions using 3D printing.

 

Your reverse angle stand sounds just like what I had in my head, a bit like an angled bench hook. 

 

Wish I still had access to a 3D printer for this sort of stuff.

Seen it too... AI is still not that good.

So this is what I made for the Yamaha HS7 speaker. As its printed in black with black extrusions, its rather difficult to see

 

 

So here's the Fusion design. It's all parameterised so angles and sizes are simple to change.

 

 

And this is the mixer holder. There's a lip at the front to hold it in and rubber strip at the bottom to stop it slipping and protect the speaker. The angle is more than the speaker support so it tilts back. Also the mixer is screwed into the stand using the holes in the back. It's an M5 from memory.

 

Happy to print them out for the cost of filament and postage. Black extrusion costs me between £15 and £19 per meter at the moment, silver or raw is cheaper It's a volatile market sadly

Here's the F360 design to hold the mixer

Here we go.  The top-hat is unobtrusive, albeit non-reversible.  W for the win.
