Frequently Asked Questions
Deckra Gear designs and 3D-prints stands for DJ and studio gear in the UAE.
Can I get my stand in a different color?
For us, black is the most beautiful color. Other colors aren't listed as a standard option right now, but a custom color can usually be arranged — it may come with a small extra cost depending on the material. Email us or message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort out what's possible for your order.
Why does the tilt angle matter?
A flat desk means leaning in for every glance at a screen or reach for a pad — a small angle changes that without you relearning where anything is. We go deeper on this in Desk Ergonomics for Music Producers if you want the full breakdown.
What is your return policy?
Standard catalog orders (AS-6, AMS series, and the rest) can be returned within 14 days of delivery, unused and in original packaging — you cover return shipping, and approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 10 business days. Custom-designed stands (built to your specific gear or requested modifications) are final sale unless they arrive damaged — if anything shows up cracked or shipping-damaged, contact us immediately with photos and we'll sort a replacement. Minor surface texture from the 3D-printing process is normal, not a defect.
We've had exactly one return so far — a customer who was surprised plastic could feel this light. It is light. It's also solid where it counts, and between the gear's own weight, the rubber pads, and the design itself, it holds rock solid. We refunded him anyway. If anything about your setup ever feels off, email us or message us on WhatsApp and we'll find a way to make it right.
Do I need tools to set it up?
No tools, for any of them. Some stands are ready to use straight out of the box. Some clip directly onto your gear. A few snap together in a couple of pieces — about as hard as connecting two Lego blocks. Either way, nothing you'll ever need a screwdriver for.
Will it block my cables or trap heat?
No on both counts. Stands are designed so cables stay accessible, not squeezed or blocked once your gear is mounted. And since everything's printed in PETG, heat isn't something to worry about either — short of leaving your gear on an actual stove, you're fine.
What gear does Deckra fit, and which stand do I need?
Depends on your gear's size and weight. The AS-6 (and reinforced AS-6K) is our adjustable flagship, built for deeper, heavier equipment up to roughly 30–35 cm deep — Ableton Push, Native Instruments Maschine, Novation Launchpad X, Traktor Kontrol S4, PreSonus FaderPort 8, Arturia DrumBrute, Yamaha RM1x, and small-format mixers all fit comfortably. Deeper, back-heavy gear like the Roland System-8 needs the AS-6K specifically — its front clamp holds it in place.
Smaller or narrower gear suits the AMS series (AMS-2 to AMS-25) better. Want modular instead of adjustable? That's what the USL series is for. Don't see your gear listed? Contact us with its dimensions and we'll tell you straight whether it fits.
Will it wobble or tip if I'm drumming on the pads?
No — all stands sit on rubber pads on your desk, and there are pads between the stand and the gear itself. No plastic-on-plastic contact, no sliding under repeated hits.
Is a 3D-printed stand actually strong enough for my gear?
We get it — "3D-printed" and "holding my gear above a desk" don't always sound like they belong in the same sentence. Short answer: yes, when it's built right. We haven't broken an AS-6 yet — right now one's holding a real ~5 kg Moog Messenger a few feet from us, no wobble. Some gear needs a bit more: the Roland System-8 is deeper than the stand's footprint and back-heavy, so without help the front would want to lift. The AS-6K adds a front clamp to hold it down — same stand, reinforced for gear built that way.
Why buy local instead of importing?
If you live in the Middle East, you already know this math: something that costs 300 AED can show up with another 250 AED in shipping on top of it — sometimes more — before customs even gets involved, and that's assuming it's even in stock. We print and ship every order from Dubai, with low delivery fees across the UAE and free delivery on orders over 300 AED. No import wait, no shipping bill bigger than the product.
What angles can the stands be adjusted to?
Deckra adjustable stands lock into three tilt positions — 15°, 30°, and 45° — so you can set the angle for either flat studio work or eye-level performance visibility.
For the fixed angle stands look into their exact descriptions to find out the exact angle.
What are Deckra stands made from?
Deckra stands are 3D-printed in-house using PETG, chosen for its durability and heat resistance in UAE conditions. Our protective covers currently use a different material while we finish testing PETG for that line.
How long does it take to receive my order?
Every Deckra stand is made to order using 3D printing, based in the UAE. Most orders are produced and shipped within 1–2 days.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — Deckra ships from the UAE to destinations across the Middle East, Europe, and South Asia. Shipping times and costs vary by destination.
Who's behind Deckra Gear?
Deckra started as one producer's frustration with stands that were either overpriced or didn't exist for his own gear — not a factory that decided to make studio accessories.
It's run by Tom Noize, a Dubai-based music producer and DJ, under Inkognito Events. Every stand is still designed, printed, and shipped by us, from Dubai. Read the full story here.
Can I request a custom size or fit for gear not listed?
Many of our products were created based on a conversation with a customer, not the other way around. The stands for the Roland Boutique series exist because someone told us their imported multi-level stand made it impossible to reach the cables on the lower synth once everything was mounted. We borrowed the synths, took our own measurements, and went back and forth on photos until it actually worked. Reach out via the contact page (or email/WhatsApp) with your device's dimensions — let's talk about yours.
How do I clean or maintain my stand?
Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or hot-car storage — extended heat exposure can affect any 3D-printed plastic part over time.
What is the Universal Stand Lite (USL) series, and how is it different from the AS-6/AMS lines?
The USL series is our modular, fixed-angle stand system — built from interchangeable side panels and connection rods rather than a single fixed piece. It holds a consistent 30° angle and comes in standard-depth (S10–S25) and extended-depth (SE10–SE25) configurations, with the extended versions offering 28 cm of holding depth for deeper gear. Because the rods are sold separately and swappable, USL is the most customizable option if your gear width changes over time or you're supporting an unusual footprint. The AS-6/AMS lines, by contrast, are adjustable-angle (15°/30°/45°) and come as complete, ready-to-use pairs.
Why does this cost more than the plastic it's printed from?
We know what raw filament costs — that's exactly the math a lot of people do before asking this. But the plastic was never the expensive part. What you're actually paying for is the design work behind it: hours spent modeling and testing the shape, the printer and software that make production possible, and the failed prints that got caught and fixed before anything went up for sale. When we made our own first cover, the first print didn't fit at all — we paid to reprint it before it was right. Every stand we sell has already been through that process, so you're paying for the version that already works, not the plastic it's made from.
