iPad Mini Stand

prusaprinters

<p>One-piece iPad stand with two angles. Can be printed for iPad Pro (pictured) with 150mm diameter, or smaller iPads by changing the diameter.</p> <p>The stand is parametric. Using the OpenSCAD file, can be printed on a MakerBot Mini, for use with an iPad Mini using 100mm diameter. Yes, Mini begets Mini! I hope mini people find this useful.</p> <p>The OpenSCAD files are found here:<br/> <a href="https://github.com/thrasher/ipad-mini-stand">https://github.com/thrasher/ipad-mini-stand</a></p> <p>Write.scad found here:<br/> <a href="https://github.com/rohieb/Write.scad">https://github.com/rohieb/Write.scad</a><br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16193/">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:16193/</a></p> <p><strong>Update: The inside-sphere writing has been removed in the .stl posted here.</strong></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>MakerBot</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>MakerBot Replicator Mini</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.1mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Use 3 shells to give the outside strength, and to allow the overhang in the middle of the sphere to print better. Note: the maximum build size of a MakerBot Mini is 10cm, which will work for holding an iPad Mini, or for 40 deg angles, a regular iPad Air. Use the OpenSCAD file to change these values, create a new .stl, and print.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Originally designed to hold an iPad for my wife. She wanted to easily read, at a steeper angle than was provided by the iPad's case/cover. I wanted to support the iPad, but also other tablets, with or without covers. I also wanted to be able to add custom text, but on the inside of the sphere, so it wasn't overt. The Write.scad library works for this, though a little hack is needed for writing on the inside of a sphere.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Tablet
