Tablet stand with IBM ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint. The back provides ample space for housing a keyboard controller and other vital electronics. The tablet stand's dimensions can be tailored to accommodate a Raspberry Pi, offering users flexibility in their setup choices, such as replacing the keyboard controller with this more compact system. For added sturdiness and reliability, 3D printed parts are precision-joined with carbon rods, forming an exceptionally strong framework that supports various applications. Users requiring higher loads can simply replace the components without compromising on design coherence or durability. To construct your tablet stand: 1. Begin by printing the STL files; subsequently follow the step-by-step instructional videos: - Assembly 1/3 - Assembly 2/3 - Assembly 3/3 - Mounting Lenovo IdeaPad - Mounting iPad - Test Prior to starting the assembly, make a test print to verify whether your 3D channels can accurately mate with the carbon rods; this essential verification ensures that your tablet stand functions at its full capacity and stability. Tablet Stand Parts: 1. STL files designed specifically for users' various needs, created using powerful software that facilitates compatibility on platforms such as: - RepRaps - MakerBots, etc. Required materials include the following items sourced from established vendors in Europe like Modulor for increased precision and control: 1. 6mm carbon rods available in various shapes to support the base, handle, and top surface. 2. ThinkPad X40/X41 keyboard to optimize user input, interaction experience with track point, backspace function. Available options could include IBM models like IBM model for additional security & ease. 3. Custom-cut ABS parts manufactured from precision machines on Stratatys Dimension SST 1200es. Components: 1. High quality ABS prints used here (in place of cheaper FDM based designs). 2. Modulor number - Carbon fibre sticks and tubes: A carbon fibre strip of high purity at Modulor can serve well in conjunction with ThinkPad model no X41 - M screws available on internet as standard part with key to support additional options Parts Used in Production: These designs could use items made from any common ABS plastic which will not degrade rapidly or wear due primarily factors over time.
