I was having a tough time finding decent speaker stands for my bookshelf speakers, so I came up with this Ikea hack that lets you combine a cheap but sturdy table leg and a chopping board to make a solid and stylish speaker stand. I also added some spikes to the base, but that's totally optional. Print resolution is really up to personal preference here. If you want it to look nicer, take the time to print at a higher resolution. Infill needs to be pretty high because screws need to hold this thing in place. First, cut the chopping board to its largest length possible and remove the area with the hole. Next, drill a hole in the centre of the chopping board - we'll call this the base from now on - for the speaker cable to pass through. Screw the cone to the centre of the base. You might notice that the underside of the cone has a channel or recess. I originally had the Adils legs screwed directly to the base before designing this cone, so I included this channel in case you need to use it later. If you do end up needing to de-centre the cone on the base and have already drilled your cable hole, this channel might come in handy. Next, push the Adils leg into the printed cone about 1" deep - it's a nice tight fit, so some twisting may be required. Finally, drill a 1/2" long hole in the back of the leg about 1" from the top (the circular part where your speaker will sit) to let the cable run down the inside of the leg. Now all you need to do is decide if you want to stain, varnish or paint your base to match your speakers. I used some double-sided foam tape to sit the speakers on - it keeps them in place without damaging them and helps reduce vibration between the speaker and the base.
