Laptop vertical gravity dock

prusaprinters

<p>This universal dock uses the laptops own weight to clamp it gently but firmly.</p><ul><li>No supports needed</li><li>no bolting or glue required, everything is press fit so make sure your flow is well callibrated.</li></ul><p>The (identical) sides are printed in PLA or any other material you like.</p><p>The connectors should be printed in TPU and make sure that the flexible part is 100% filled (3 walls on my 0,6mm nozzle was enough). I used Fiberlogy 40D which has a nice rubber like feel to it.&nbsp;</p><p>3 connectors were just perfect for the stand to be opened without laptop so I can plunk it in one handed. Depending on the type of TPU you use, you might need more or less (model is perfectly scaleable in the Z direction so you can make 'em any height you want)</p><p>Everything is printed at 100%. The holes for the connectors are the exact same size as the cilinders in the connector. I printed the TPU parts at 100% flow so that there was slight underextrusion (google it if you don't know why that is) and the fit very strong, so much that the middle part I printed at 99% flow just to make sure I got it all the way to the middle.</p><p>The dock is also quite flexible in the way that you can choose where to put the connectors in order to avoid blocking your vents.&nbsp;</p><p>This thing uses a lot of filament (440g for 2 sides at 3 walls and 20% infill, IF I remember correctly)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Truth be told, this is a design I based on pictures of some generic Chinese dock but I don't think they'll mind :p</p>
