Surface Pro 3 Vertical Stand

thingiverse

This computer stand is designed to display the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 vertically and includes slots for docking with the charging, USB, and MiniDisplay ports. It also includes space to secure an Amazon basics USB hub, which is listed in the additional materials section. All parts will require supports with the exception of the display base. The following additional parts are required: Hardware - x2 40mm M3 Screw - x1 30mm M3 Screw - x1 18mm M3 Screw - x4 M3 Lock Nuts Structural Materials - I used wood, though these could be printed or machined out of metal as desired - x2 Rectangular Beams approx 11 x 18.5 x 240mm - x1 Beam with one filleted edge and one tapered edge with M3 screw hole approx 15 x 10 x 110mm Optional Materials - Large Rubber Feet: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PXNTT7K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - USB Hub: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M0NURK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - MiniDisplay to HDMI: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YONKZ72/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 To assemble, the surface slot and display base are attached using the two longest and one shortest M3 screws and lock nuts. The long rectangular beams can be inserted into the back of the surface slot, and the shorter tapered beam can be attached to the back of the surface slot through the screw hole with the medium M3 screw. The filleted edge should be closest to the surface slot part to allow it to rotate around the screw while the tapered edge should mate with the grooves in the display base. The charging cable can simply be snapped into place in the surface slot, and if the USB or miniDisplay ports are chosen, the cable can be fed through the back of the surface slot. Then the top and bottom port clamps can be placed around the cable, and that assembly can be slid back into the surface slot in the correct location and orientation. Some sanding may be required to ensure all parts mate properly. Additional, I used scotch tape to ensure the charging cable and USB hub stay put in their respective locations.
