Korg Kronos holder for iPad Pro 9.7"

I am setting this to a different license; Attribution - Non-Commercial - No Derivatives. I am sick and tired of finding derivatives of my published designs in other peoples' Etsy shops. If this doesn't stop, I won't publish designs again. My synth corner is pretty crowded, and the Kronos 88 dominates it as the centerpiece. I wanted to integrate an iPad, using it as a control surface, score/leadsheet display, and also for occasional synth plugin usage (Animoog, for example). There are some commercial iPad holders for the Kronos that look nice but are pricey, so I created my own version. It's designed to be slide-able, allowing you to move it from left to right to center, which is convenient if you only need it part-time. The hardest part of this project was creating the bottom contour that sits on top of the Kronos and slides over the faders, knobs etc. It's still not perfect but functional enough for me. Now that it's done, there are tons of practical items that could be mounted on top of the Kronos; an Apple Magic Trackpad, a small synth (Blofeld, Shruthi, Minitaur, Erebus), or other possibilities. Therefore, I'm sharing the model as STLs and Sketchup files so if someone wants to modify the top part to hold something else, feel free to do so. Building this project is quite simple. Just cut some 12mm aluminium rod stock to a length of 241mm (the iPad Pro 9.7" supposedly has a length of exactly 240mm, but I measured it at 241), print out both parts of the model, and glue the aluminium stock in with epoxy glue.
