This model is for a custom-length guitar pedalboard. Aren't there other models for pedalboards on MakerWorld? What makes this one better? - I'm glad you asked!
- The size is intended for fitting a power supply underneath. This is the main reason I designed my own, as similar designs were too low to the ground. I fit a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ under mine.
- The cutouts for the sides are large enough to fit an IEC power cable through. I used a right-angle one to my power supply and the result is super clean.
- Uses readily available and cheap materials. For the rails use big box store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) lumber in 0.5" x 2.5" dimensions. The length can be anything you want and you can readily find these in poplar, pine, and oak. You can use precut sizes, ask them to cut for you in the store to a custom size, or hack your way through it since the ends will be covered. Everything attaches using #4 x1/2" wood screws and I did not have to predrill any holes even in oak.
- Using wood instead of 3D printed parts gives a little more strength and custom sizing. It is also much easier to mount to than the metal t-slot rails on some models. You can freely screw on custom pedal brackets and cable organization, or add velcro. It is also very cheap, since a 2ft board in poplar will run you ~$4.
- Included in the model are holes for rubber feet. I used some 1" Wide ones I found on Amazon.
I printed in PETG since I am prone to leaving my pedalboard in my car on a hot day, but PLA would work fine for indoor-only applications.
There are 3 different types of models in this file: 2 side supports (required) and optional center supports. One type of center support fully wraps around the wood, though this does restrict what can go on top of your board. The other type only attached from the bottom.

Note: I got the original idea for this style of pedalboard with hardware store lumber from n24re on Thingiverse, but I drew it up from scratch in order to make several changes.
