iMac 27" Stand
& Interlocking Storage Compartments
Designed from scratch, this custom iMac stand features interlocking side storage compartments and a main compartment with cable management.
✅ Main Features:
- Centre Storage Compartment: Split into two halves with cable cut-outs for easy device connectivity.
- Lid Options:
- One with an integrated plinth for the iMac base.
- One with a separate plinth, allowing for multi-colour printing or filament swaps at the correct layer.
- Side Compartments: Mirror each other at a slight angle and connect to the main unit via male dovetails (supports required only for these dovetails).
- Easy Access: All compartments have open fronts.
- Secure Fit: The lid locks onto printed dowels (-0.2mm tolerance).
- Print Finish: I used a carbon fibre textured print sheet for a premium look on the lids.
✅ Fixing My Mistake - Chamfer Removal
My original design had chamfered edges (see main photo), but I had to remove them because the iMac stand base was wider than my first plinth design (oops!). After correcting my measurements, I adjusted the lid and plinth to fit perfectly.
✅ Dimensions & Print Settings:
- Base Size: 200mm x 200mm x 95mm (including lid & plinth).
- Filament & Strength:
- Main Compartment: PETG, 80% infill, 3 walls + extra alternate wall for added strength.
- Side Compartments: HS PLA (Hyper Speed), 30% infill, 2 walls + alternate extra wall.
- Extra Stability: I used sticky pads for added grip.

✅ Why This Design?
- I wanted a strong, practical, and modular solution for iMac users.
- I over-egged the infill % to handle the weight of the iMac—honestly, I could probably stand on it!
- Optional filament swaps let you customise the plinth for a personalised touch.
Would love to see your prints & remakes—enjoy building your ultimate iMac stand! 🚀
