About the Clarinet stand
A peg stand holds a clarinet upright on its bell when you put it down, which is far safer than laying it on a chair. This one is two screw-together parts. The outer part has folding legs printed in place, and the inner part screws into it. To pack it away, unscrew it, fold the legs in and screw it back together, and it fits inside the bell in your case.
It comes in three versions with different thread tolerances, so you can pick the one that suits your printer and layer height. If the thread is tight, work it in slowly, back and forth, for a snug fit. The legs need a little persuasion to fold the first time, and they're designed to stop about 20 degrees below level. Don't force them further. The design was inspired by an earlier printable clarinet stand.
Who it's for. Clarinettists who want a stand that lives in the case. The designer uses it but sensibly says to use it at your own risk.
