Laser Cut Laptop Stand

thingiverse

I had some 6mm MDF scraps lying around my garage and wasn't in the mood to head out to the hardware store for a 3mm sheet, so I tweaked 300dpi's Laptop/Tablet Stand design to work seamlessly with 6mm MDF. I simplified the design to focus on what you need to make one stand, removing some unnecessary notches from the spacers along the way. This modified version should be able to support most laptops up to 15 inches with ease. **Instructions** Cut your project using 6mm material only. When I cut this project, I used a 30 Watt Epilogue Mini Helix laser at 7% speed and maximum power settings, which produced decent results. However, test the cutting process with your laser beforehand to get accurate timing – it takes around 9 minutes and 25 seconds to complete the cuts at these speeds. **Setup Options** For laptops: Utilize the longer struts on the outside for optimal support. If you have a heavier laptop, add the short struts on the inside as well for added stability. For tablets: Employ the shorter struts on the outside for proper positioning. A separate file is included with looser connections in case your material requires slightly more flexibility than standard settings allow.
