yes I have - Music\_stands (FORUM). it has the notches of both 12mm and 9mm in the same location on either stand. are you implying I print 2 of the 9mm and/or 2 of the 12mm? I did that 2 exactly the same for 9mm and 12mm. Each one should be different. If its not that one I can’t see them/it. So the project you shared that you said you even went to the trouble to make for me wont slot in together to forma stand. print yours and print mine. Anyway - the current issue is I asked questions about the attached solutions. predominantly my son’s svg that has heaps of tabs etc etc. ---

This is my last post on this thread. You have all the tabs because you have open vectors rather than a closed shape. > [@JoeLoyzaga](#): > > So the project you shared that you said you even went to the trouble to make for me wont slot in together to forma stand ??? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/4/a/4a4010ad1d6907553f321d3cc825d61b087b2f02.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/5/0547bdb5d09baf5b0907231a078fac121be8762d.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/3/1/315e74fc42ed7521e17a052bf4800698c83faefb.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/a/6/a69a373bf05a6c876e518a427d16a57d694c34ad.jpeg) 🤭 ---

One last update…one of my students will get a ukelele stand tomorrow! Adapted for laser cutting from scrap “1/4"” ply (actually closer to 4.5mm) ![PXL_20230912_190745621](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/c/0/c0c569282fbf9543bea6e491d129d767663c290f.jpeg) ![PXL_20230912_190757524](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/3/5/3591b655259449fd2621350fb3dc683b9d5a4ca4.jpeg) ![PXL_20230912_190554303](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/f/0/f07208b2161036a8d3124e061a89fccd0d327608.jpeg) ![PXL_20230912_190657485](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/d/b/db5ad7cc587afd3258230d8458ff7d7b1a9c71e7.jpeg) ---

I made a version in Fusion when you started the thread. I use Fusion and inkscape for most of my work. > [@JoeLoyzaga](#): > > can we close this please?
