Improved kid's drum stand

This remodel offers a more practical design for the prototype: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3985997. Toddler-tested and approved, this model features an adjustable tilt angle. Unscaled, it's suitable for a 2-year-old child, accommodating a 6" drum. The DwH and H components are threaded to facilitate scalability. Since the DwH set screw and threads on H are non-critical, the entire model can be scaled according to the printer's capacity. Parts A and O are ideal for flexible materials like Ninjaflex or Cheetah. If not available, PLA will work but lacks grippiness. The remaining parts should be printed in a rigid material such as PLA, PET, or ABS. To assemble this model, you'll need M2 screws or bolts and an M6 bolt to secure the tilt mechanism (H and K). Part DwH is recommended over part D for improved stability. Print the following components with threads pointing upwards: A x3 (preferably in flexible material) B x3 C x3 DwH x4 Key x4 E (optional) F (optional) G x1 H x1 K x1 L x1 M x6 N x3 O x3 (preferably in flexible material) Affix each A to the short side of B using an M2 nut and bolt. Secure the middle hole of each B to one end of C with another M2 screw. Attach the three other ends of C to DwH fins, also using M2 screws. Next, attach the far ends of B to another DwH's fins using M2 screws. Push G's threaded end through the center of DwH attached to C and then through the DwH attached to basket arms (B). Push until C DwH hits the end stop on G. You can optionally add a washer (F) and an adjustment nut (E) to G's threads for added stability. Screw two 6mm Keys into DwH set screw holes. Then, screw G into H, completing the basket assembly. To assemble the base, screw an M2 bolt through part M, then through DwH fin, then through another M piece. Ensure the M pieces are oriented with aligned holes in the middle. Screw another M2 bolt through the middle M hole and then through one end of N piece. Then, press fit O onto the unaffixed end of two M pieces. Secure an M2 x 8 mm bolt through the round side of O part, through two remaining holes in M parts, and press an M2 nut into O's hexagonal cavity. Finally, screw the remaining N part into the last DwH. Repeat this process for each leg until all three are complete. Press part L through DwH holding M and then D/DwH part holding N. Then, screw in the remaining key(s). Screw K's threaded part into L to complete the base assembly. Finally, secure H and K together at the desired angle using an M6 bolt, and your stand is ready for use.
