Improved ThinkPad Stand

thingiverse

This is tailored for the ThinkPad T580 (and laptops of similar thickness). If you want a variant that can hold other thicknesses of laptops, just ask me. I created this stand after discovering the original ThinkPad stand would fall backwards with my T580 if the screen was tilted past vertical. The design wouldn't allow me to upsize the stand due to my 6x6x6" print volume. So I came up with a solution and made this stand, as well as a double stand model that lets you print two at once. I updated this on jan/20/2019: I don't recommend printing the double stand unless you're using a short layer height. I tried it myself but found the two stands seem to be made for two slightly different laptop thicknesses. However, using a short layer height will make the print take longer as well. I updated this on jan/10/2019: I increased the space between the two parts of the double laptop stand after breaking one while trying to separate them.
