&lt;p&gt;I really like to build things, often using power tools. After a couple of years of buying them, I got a lot of Metabo batteries laying around. So why don’t build a LED driver which works with them?! This also is a good opportunity to further improve my skills with ECAD and electronics in general.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi there! I got a home studio. But I do not have that much space in my flat, so things need to be movable. I bought a keyboard stand for my Kontrol S61 but it did not have any casters - so I 3D printed some adapters to add some.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;picture class=&quot;flow&quot;&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/avif&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-440w.avif 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-880w.avif 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1024w.avif 1024w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1360w.avif 1360w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/webp&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-440w.webp 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-880w.webp 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1024w.webp 1024w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1360w.webp 1360w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/jpeg&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-440w.jpeg 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-880w.jpeg 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1024w.jpeg 1024w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1360w.jpeg 1360w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/mounted-1360w.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;1360&quot; height=&quot;815&quot; alt=&quot;Mounted Part&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; /&gt;&lt;/picture&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The parts besides the stand are available on AliExpress. Maybe you got some screws &amp;amp; inserts laying around - who knows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thomann.de/de/millenium_ks1010_keyboardstaender_economy.htm&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Keyboard Stand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003684855840.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;M3x8 Screws with regular head&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004535859664.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;M4 Brass Insert OD 6mm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004535859664.html&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;M3 Brass Insert OD 4.5mm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mounts were 3D printed using Extrudr PLA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id=&quot;design&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;heading-anchor&quot; href=&quot;http://localhost:8080/blog/casters-for-my-keyboard-stand/#design&quot;&gt;Design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The casters are designed to have a snug fit onto the feet of the keyboard stand. To further improve it, I added a grub screw. All threads are done with brass inserts, which can be easily inserted using a soldering iron. I designed the part using Fusion360. The files are avaiable at the end of this post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;flow&quot;&gt;&lt;picture&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/avif&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-440w.avif 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-880w.avif 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-1024w.avif 1024w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/webp&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-440w.webp 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-880w.webp 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-1024w.webp 1024w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;source type=&quot;image/jpeg&quot; srcset=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-440w.jpeg 440w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-880w.jpeg 880w, http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-1024w.jpeg 1024w&quot; sizes=&quot;90vw&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://localhost:8080/assets/images/caster_3d-1024w.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;621&quot; alt=&quot;Mount for caster&quot; loading=&quot;lazy&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; /&gt;&lt;/picture&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;3D modelled part which features the mounting holes and hole for the grub screw&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;h1 id=&quot;assembly&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;heading-anchor&quot; href=&quot;http://localhost:8080/blog/casters-for-my-keyboard-stand/#assembly&quot;&gt;Assembly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I 3D printed the parts using PLA and my “trustworthy” Ender printer. The brass inserts were pressed in with a hot soldering iron. The mounting holes for the casters are M4 inserts, the insert for the grub screw uses a M3 insert. Before adding the casters, you need to put the feet onto the keyboard stand and tighten the M3 grub screw. The casters are mounted using the M4 screws.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The files are available on &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pitchbent/Millenium-KS-1010-Caster&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6581315&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Thingiverse&lt;/a&gt;. On Github you can also find the Fusion360 project.&lt;/p&gt;
