BALS: Big A-- Laptop Stand

thingiverse

I struggled to find a stand that could securely hold my large 17" System 76 Kudu laptop, which measures 24 mm thick and weighs almost 7 lbs. The dto26 stand barely had enough of a lip to keep the laptop upright, but any slight rotation would cause it to collapse. I utilized Blender to extend the lip and also created an open version without the filled-in triangles to enable printing without supports. In the large laptop design, I extended the resting area to 23cm and adjusted the internal angle on the lip for added stability. Print Settings: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.38mm Infill: Higher for more strength Notes: Printing the version with filled-in triangles requires supports, but the open design does not. Initially, I encountered bad curling during printing. However, enabling brim in Cura resolved this issue completely.
