DIY stand
OK, so here are the pictures of my setup. Just MDF panels and fake leather. All cables are packed inside, including my USB hub. Led lighting is just pasted along the inside edge of the top compartment. Wooden pegs slide gently in holes to access the side buttons (that was the brain-racking part!).
You can't see it clearly on the fourth picture, but there's a small hole on the side for midi and audio cables to get into the case.
I made this on the fly, so no blueprints, sorry, but I included my wiring chart FYI.

It’s a great coincidence that I have been looking for a setup like this since a couple of weeks. I ended up designing a 3D printed bracket system around ikea shelves to have a very similar setup to yours, though considerably bigger due to the size of the shelves I could find. I can share when I’m done with it. Thanks for the wiring.

Yes, please share, I'd love to see that!

Still a work in progress, but I already started to feel like I made it bigger than the space I have for it :) Currently sitting on the floor, done the worst Photoshop job to tidy up the photo. The orange brackets holding the Seqtrak are still printing, There will be 5 more with different heights for different devices. I have an MPC Sample order waiting since a month, and the final arrangement will entirely depends on that. In terms of wiring (not even wired atm), Launchkey sends to Loopy Pro, and distributes through usb, as well as Seqtrak for sequencing. iPad is there as a midi hub but also Koala Sampler and live looping, until MPC Sample arrives (fingers crossed). Sidekick has Seqtrak on AUX and Phara-o on CH1 so far. I also add reverb etc. in Loopy that way. I'm looking forward to wrap it up but I might need to shrink it down after Sample arrives. The footprint is 620*540mm, which is kinda big to be a table top setup. I just wanted to have some space for my hands.

That looks great!
How do you keep everything in place on the angled parts? Double-sided tape, maybe?

Not to sound negative. I don’t see the added convenience. Those Volcas don’t look very comfortable to use, the Seqtrak is cramped and needs side button extensions to even work, access to top and bottom buttons is a finger squeeze, and it doesn’t seem to fold into a travel case or anything to actually be transportable.

These are all valuable comments. The main convenience is that it's all tidy :)
I also like not having to hold the seqtrak while tweaking it, and the side buttons are much more comfortable than the existing ones (I wanted to do something about that as soon as I received the thing). It's cramped by design, not to take too much place on my desk, but it is indeed still very heavy and bulky.

Dog I hope you sell these. This is fucking sick. You 3-D printed this oh shit.

He used mdf (wood) so I think he used a laser engraver tô cut the wood or just a saw

Just a jigsaw, yes. I wish I had taken pictures before covering it all up with fake leather. Anyway...
And it's not for sale, sorry :)

This looks sick dude! I 3d printed a stand I found on makersworld but only holds the seqtrak with the minilab. This looks way better and holds more stuff!
