Laptop Stand

thingiverse

Hi, I have a laptop which requires good air access, so I looked up some stands and designed one which is foldable. Only thing required is some 2mm wire (I used nails) see photos. Installation: Some light sanding of the contact edges might be needed. Push in nails or wire into the printed holes (for ease I drilled them after printing with a 2mm drill and heated nail a little. It should be a tight fit! Assemble the whole mechanism and be sure it works, use small printed pins, assemble, then heat something steel with a lighter/torch/soldering iron (I heated imbus wrench) and push against the pin. See photos as well. Check the mechanism and amaze the world! PS. feel free to comment on the design, I am gonna make revisions if you like. I made 2 of these, using them for 4 months and nothing broke so far, only thing is bending in the main support (see photos). If you will print it without infill, it should not even bend.
