About this 3D model

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL FILE (STL). NO PHYSICAL ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED. Optimize your studio workflow and protect your hardware with this custom-designed Cooling Stand for Universal Audio Apollo Solo (and UA Arrow). Designed by an automation engineer, this stand addresses the common heating issues of Thunderbolt interfaces while improving the ergonomic angle for the main control knob. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Compatibility: Universal Audio Apollo Solo (USB & Thunderbolt) AND Universal Audio Arrow. Tilt Angle: 35 Degrees (Ergonomic standard) File Format: STL (Zipped) Units: Millimeters 3D PRINTING RECOMMENDATIONS To achieve the premium finish matching the UA aluminum chassis: Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS (Silver/Grey filament recommended) Infill: Minimum 20% (Grid or Gyroid for structural rigidity) Walls/Perimeters: 3 Layer Height: 0.2mm standard (0.16mm for smoother finish) ASSEMBLY AND POST-PROCESSING This model utilizes a multi-part design to ensure optimal print orientation and surface quality. Assembly Required: Yes (2-part snap-fit or glued connection). Recommended Adhesive: B-7000 (preferred for flexibility) or Standard CA Glue (Superglue). Instructions: Apply a thin layer of B-7000 to the connecting surfaces/pins. Press parts together firmly and clamp or hold for 5-10 minutes. Allow 24h for full cure before mounting the device. WHY USE THIS STAND? 1. CRITICAL THERMAL MANAGEMENT: Apollo units are known to run hot. This stand lifts the chassis off the desk, maximizing convective airflow underneath the unit to prevent thermal throttling. 2. Ergonomics: The angle positions the main preamp knob naturally under your hand and improves visibility of the top-panel metering. 3. Cable Routing: Helps manage the stiff Thunderbolt/USB-C cables exiting the rear. TERMS OF USE This file is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. You may NOT sell the physical prints or distribute the digital file.
