Cambridge Audio Minx Desktop Speaker Stand Set

I needed some small speaker stands for my own Cambridge Minx speakers, and I wasn't too impressed with their own aluminium model. I also wanted to try my hand at designing a set because it's fun. Cambridge installed a bespoke screw and socket mount on these speakers; the stands are meant to fit that and the speakers will only mount entirely vertically, or entirely horizontally (in one direction). Horizontal mounting is perfect for a center speaker in a desktop surround system for instance, or anywhere you need to install where you don't have height to work with I guess. It's probably also the model you want if you have the small, square Min 12 model, as the taller one is made for the Min 22.The reason they're round with a hole in it is simply because I wanted to pay homage to the Cambridge Audio logo, which is a circle in a circle… a square base might otherwise have worked well with the cubic speakers. The stands require no support of any kind and will print out of basically anything printable. I'd recommend PETG, but I see no reason PLA or anything else should have issues printing these (except that PLA tends to creep more over time, and the speakers are fairly dense and heavy for their size). These are some of my first made from scratch models so I'm sure they could have been improved in any number of ways, but I hope someone will enjoy them.
