Split keyboard Magsafe tenting stand
Jakmazdev's simple, parametric tenting solution via Magsafe for any split keyboard setup.
Published September 29, 2025
Jakmaz published the files of this Magsafe tenting stand. Each stand is composed of two separate parts to ensure efficient 3D printing.
I looked into a lot of tenting solutions before. I liked the Ugreen MagSafe stands the most, but they were pretty expensive, and I wasn’t even sure if I’d like tenting in the first place. So I ended up designing a cheap, 3D-printable tenting solution that works with any split keyboard – jakmazdev.
All you need are some inexpensive MagSafe magnets and rings (about $6 total). You can tweak the tenting angle and height through Fusion 360 parameters.
Parts
- 2x Magsafe magnet rings (for the stands)
- 2x Magsafe metal rings (for your keyboards)
- stand (Fusion 360 .f3d files)
The design is fully parametric, allowing you to easily adjust the height and tenting angle of the stand. By default, the stand is set to a height of 40 mm and an angle of 30°, which works great for e.g. a 6-column Corne. However, the model is compatible with most split keyboards.
Small holes around the top part let you remove the MagSafe magnet if you ever need it again.
