About the Rain drum stand
Small steel tongue drums sold as 'rain drums' are tuned to ring when water drips on them, and the designer plays one in the shower. Removing the rubber feet (which trapped water and caused rust) made it ring louder but left it without a stand. So here's a flat-printed, butterfly-inspired one that can hold the drum level or tilted for display.
A later version lets the drum nest between the 'wings' for more stability on a shower floor. It was printed in PLA with 3 perimeters and 40% gyroid infill, which the designer admits is overkill. The slicer project file is included if you want to adapt it. Because it's for wet use, consider PETG ?.
