KORG MicroKORG "raised Stand" (Chassis) With SVG Templates
I own a KORG microKORG and built me a raised stand (chassis) for it, so the buttons are easier to reach.
Feel free to use my plans to create your very own version of it!
Supplies
- CNC mill
- or hand tools like a jigsaw
- or a bandsaw
- a printer to print the cut paths
- glue to stick the cut paths to the material
- various sanding tools for processing and finishing the material used
- drill (-press), drills/forstner bit to drill the holes
- screwdriver
- 4 x lens head screw (3 mm x 18 mm)
- 4 x washer (3.2 mm x 9 mm x 1 mm)
- (wood-)glue, dowels to connect the pieces
- 4 x rubber feet
Cut Out the Parts
Use whatever technology to cut out the parts. I used a CNC mill to get perfectly cut parts on 17 mm thick walnut wood from my area.
You're going to manufacture three parts: the left and right side panels and the back bar. Don't forget to drill the holes and countersink them on the CNC.
Attached you will find the complete blueprints.
Sand and Finish the Parts
It's up to you how to finish whatever material you used to create your version of my KORG microKORG raised stand.
I sanded the three parts up to 320 grid and put on a nice hard oil finish. Leave the areas where the parts are connected free of (oil) finish so that the glue will stick to the wood.
Join the Parts
I used dowels to connect the side panels with the back bar.
Alternatives are screws, inset joints or just plain butt joints using wood glue.
The blueprints contain the exact position at which the back panel needs to be attached in order to keep the battery door functional (black rectangle).
Marry Your KORG MicroKORG and the Raised Stand
The KORG microKORG raised stand is connected to the synth via the following screws.
- 4 x lens head screw (3 mm x 18 mm)
- 4 x washer (3.2 mm x 9 mm x 1 mm)
Please find a picture of the screws in the blueprints.
Finalize the project by adding rubber feet to to bottom of the side panels and brush off the dust of your shoulders. You made it!
