Legs for floor or lap desk

thingiverse

Check out my blog about 3D Printing and Home Automation. After the school from home thing started, the kids needed a small desk to do their work. They preferred sitting on the floor over a real table, so I made a small floor/lap desk for them. I already had one, but I have two kids now. And I still had a 12x24 inch shelf from an old desk that isn't being used anymore. I was going to make the legs out of wood at first, but then I figured designing something and using a 3D printer would look cleaner than my woodworking skills could produce. I'm really happy with how it turned out now. It's super solid and sturdy too. I'm confident that if someone were to stand on it, the legs would hold up just fine, although I'm not sure about the shelf itself still. The shelf I used is very similar to THIS ONE. You can use any rectangular-shaped piece of wood that is at least half an inch thick. And you will also need some short screws now. These would work well too.
