Building a Better Desk Setup: My Vertical Stand for the Creative Console MX
I’ve been slowly dialing in my workspace over the last few months, and one thing that kept bugging me was how my Creative Console modules just kind of sprawled across the desk. Great tools, terrible footprint. So I did what any of us would do when we’re over the clutter: I made something better.
I designed a desk-mount stand that lets the Creative Console MX sit vertically, tight and clean against the keyboard and monitor. The idea was simple, take the original holder design from MakerWorld and remix it, then make it play nicely with a setup where space actually matters. No more modules sliding around, no more leaning them awkwardly against whatever random object was on my desk at the moment.
The result? A compact, angled stand that keeps the dial, buttons, and modules accessible without eating half the desk. The console stays put, the angle feels natural, and honestly, it just looks way better than the original horizontal layout.
It's been a long time since I've dusted off my 3d printer and been able to print something that made me so happy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I used Organic tree supports painted underneath the top for added support, but they are likely unneeded.
Here’s a shot of the setup in action:
The angle makes it easier to reach without breaking wrist position, and having everything vertical keeps the overall space cleaner. It’s one of those small upgrades that ends up making the whole desk feel more intentional.
