I modified the design by Archimiedies.
Wanted the sound bender to be much lower profile and not stick out so far and get caught on things so I shortened it a bit.
Wanted it to fit more snug. iPad air is 9.7mm think. Modified sound bender to be 9.65mm between the fingers. Fits much more snug and the thicker fingers are stronger
Wanted the sound bender to be rounded to focus sound more straight out rather than some sound being deflect off on an angle. Can't quantify how much more directional the sound is but comparing the two side by side it sounds better to me with the rounded feature. The rounded feature alone allows the unit to be lower profile.
I'm including the gcode file as well which has all the appropriate supports.
-Included a pic showing the original and mine side by side to compare the size profile. lighter blue original, darker blue my remix.
UPDATE - Made another revision. I extended the length of the fingers and adjacent backing to have more surface area gripping onto the ipad. Even more snug now. Also angle the fingers and backing instead of rounded...better profiling as to reduce snagging on anything.
Uploaded the gcode with supports for this one too.
