re KX3 PX3 desktop stand

Ron Bell Asked :

> Any recommendation for a desktop stand for a KX3 and PX3 that would keep both at proper angle and manage the wires?

I made a nice and low cost stand using a Music Stand from Amazon like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0897TDWH9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_mXxmFb8V9KPQC

I used a spare bit of wood left over from picture rail  to add a second shelf above the KX3/PX3 combo to take a raspberry pi and a Microham USB.

The power supply sits behind it it with a four way splitter. ( $6 from Amazon )
The Cables are neatly held in place with stick on Cable Supports. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TXB9VLZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_r6xmFbQXPWWK7 )
You need to clean the wood with alcohol before trying to stick down the supports

See a picture at https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.qrz.com/q/g7ltq/Station_running_with_headless_Pi.jpg
I had to have system which was acceptable to look at as it runs in a corner of our living room.
