iPad Pro 12.9" Mic Stand Holder

After switching to the iPad Pro 12.9" from the iPad Air 2, I couldn't find a suitable and affordable tablet holder for the larger size. I already had one for the smaller ipads and decided to adapt its design to a larger one.

It's a geared design which allows to just place the tablet in the holder and by hand-tightening the bolts, it clamps the tablet to a tight fit.

On one of the long sides I added a holder/clamp for the Apple Pencil.

Print Settings

Printer:

CTC Bizer Dual

Rafts: No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution: 0.2mm

Infill:

25% / 90%

Notes:

All brackets that need to resist some force as the studs, knobs and gears were printed at 90% infill. The others, like the actual tablet holders (in and out slides & center ring) were printed at 25% infill.

I used supports on all parts, because it was either needed or gave better results. For the iPad Pro 12.9" you need to print:

1x Center-ring

1x Center Stud

1x Mic Stand Bracket

1x Knob

1x Knob Insert

2x Inner Side Bracket

2x Outer Side Slide

2x Inner Top Bracket

1x (or 2x) Outer Top Slide

1x (or 0x) Outer Bottom Pen Slide

4x Gear M5

4x Slider Knob

*) When you don't need the Apple Pencil holder you just use two Outer Top Slides.
