Hi all,

I put together a prototype blaster stand for the DL-44 - for a very cheap build it came out quite nice:

Taking pride of place on my bookshelf:

I used some MDF, some rods from an old shelving unit, plastic from a funnel, double sided mounting tape, foam, screws, washers and some black paint:

Thanks man , I went with some matte black paint to not draw any attention away from the blaster and the silver rods work well at breaking up all of the black.

I looked at using some transparent acrylic for the risers but they proved very difficult to get a nice finish, but maybe Ill try it again furhter down the line.

Cheers

The black and silver stand looks fine.

Agreed. Doesn't need to be over bearing and complicated to function.
