Intro: a simple fix for smarter setups
Finding the right place for your Stream Deck can be awkward—especially when desk space is tight or you need your controls within reach on set. We designed a lightweight cradle for the Elgato Stream Deck Medium and made the 3D file free to download, so you can print it yourself or order our ready-to-use version in PLA-CF.
What it is
The Cradle for Stream Deck Medium is a compact, 3D-printed holder that secures your device and lets you mount it exactly where you need it. It’s available in two ways:
• Free STEP file for DIY 3D printing
• In-house PLA-CF print (ready to use)
Why 3D print your accessories?
• Custom, flexible setups: place tools where they work best for your workflow.
• Cost-effective: iterate and adapt without expensive metal hardware.
• Fast: print, mount, and get back to work.
Key features

Printing notes (for best results)
These are general tips—adjust for your printer and preferences.
• Material: PLA-CF recommended for stiffness and dimensional stability
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (hardened preferred for CF)
• Layer height: 0.16–0.20 mm
• Perimeters: 2–4 walls
• Infill: 25–40% (grid/gyroid)
• Orientation: flat
• Check fit: ensure the device sits snugly before final use
Important: the 1/4"-20 thread is not printed. You’ll need to tap the hole or use a threaded insert after printing.
Mounting examples
• Magic arm on a light stand: fast placement near monitors or laptops
• Super clamp on a desk edge: minimal footprint, clean cable runs
Who it’s for
Digital techs, photographers, streamers, and anyone who wants a tidy, ergonomic control surface—on set or in the studio. If you live in SmallRig clamps and magic arms, this will feel right at home.
