Tablet/iPad music stand clip

thingiverse

I've started using a tablet (Samsung Galaxy) to display sheet music in a couple of bands I play in. Although I have a dedicated stand for the tablet, it's annoying because some weeks you turn up and they've dished out new music which takes a little while to scan into the app and it gets cramped with a music stand as well. These clips just sit on the top rail of a standard metal music stand and slide over the tablet to prevent it from tipping off the stand (especially when someone bumps it). They also leave space clear for electronic pencils etc. which the dedicated holders don't always do. I find them really useful and have given away a few pairs. The models uploaded are the V2, that works best if the tablet is not in a case. The taller version should work if you leave the case on. They both have a lanyard hole so you can tie a bright string to them to stop you forgetting them after rehearsal. You'll need a magnet for the recess (9mm x 3mm) although I've uploaded the FreeCAD file if you want to modify it for your own needs. You'll also need some soft fabric, preferably velvet, to glue on to prevent screen scratches (although a bit of light sanding to smooth the finished print would probably suffice). I print these in ABS - make sure to print a pair and mirror one of them in the slicer!
