Gaming Laptop Vertical Stand - Fit to Acer NITRO 5

thingiverse

Designed for the Acer Nitro 5 (approximately 27.5mm thick), this laptop stand should also work well with other laptops. This laptop stand positions your laptop vertically so it can be used like a desktop. If you enable USB wake with lid closed in the BIOS, you can use a mouse, keyboard and external monitor. When using an Acer Nitro 5, placing the hinge upwards is likely best for thermals. I picked up a discounted monitor and keyboard-mouse combo, and now I have a two-plug setup to use my laptop as a more productive desktop with a 23-inch screen. The stand maximizes your desk-space and allows for optimal airflow to the vents. There are two STL files: one is only 27.5mm thick, while the other allows for a bit more space for a thicker laptop. I used the thicker one with a neoprene-like tablet case that I got from the dollar store and cut up so the PLA doesn't scratch my laptop. Cut the material into shape, then glue it in. Printed at 15% infill & 4 top/bottom layers, it is probably a bit overkill anyway. It feels sturdy. At around 130g PLA with my settings, you might want to reduce infill or top/bottom layers.
