As a software engineer, CADing the stand was a learning experience.  I'd done some modeling of existing objects before, but creating something in the computer first was interesting.  It was especiallly challenging to identify and rectify the interferences between the PCB and the CAD model, but my rough assembly (available on GitHub) was a good predictor of the physical assembly.

I did everything in Autodesk Inventor because that's what I had some experience with.
