Summary

(Update 4/10/2021) - I'm getting reports that the wider version has a hinge that can sometimes fuse one some printers. If your printer tends to have issues with zits, and hair, I don't recommend trying this print. All of these prints have printed fine for me on my well tuned Cr10, MK2 and MK3. As always, print at your own risk and good luck.
(Update 8/7/2018 - added a wider version for better stability. This wider design is better for laptops).

This is a foldable laptop, ipad, switch, and phone stand that prints fully assembled. It folds flat for easy storage and portability.

This stand has 4 hinges that are fully assembled and ready to go right off the print bed.

Print at 100% scale with 25% infill and 4 shells for small to medium laptops ranging up to about 4-5 pounds. Scale up as needed for larger devices.

If any of you want the assembly in individual parts for multicolor or remixing - just add a request in the comments and I'd be happy to provide them.

Please use your own judgement when deciding what to hold with this design. As you know, prints vary in strength based on orientation, material used, layer adhesion, infill specified, printer output quality, etc.

Instructions

A few assembly/usage tips

  1. After removal from the printer, all hinges should be operational.
  2. The two fingers that hold the laptop should flip up 90 degrees (from build plate orientation).
  3. The little center "stick" should be placed into one of the three holes at the tip of the stand to orient the laptop/device at various angles.
  4. Orient the laptop screen so that it is angled straight up towards the sky/ceiling (perpendicular to table) for best weight distribution and visibility. See pictures for details.
  5. When typing on the keyboard with laptop on the stand do not attempt to lean on the laptop
  6. Do not try to mount a 60" flat screen TV on this stand. Unless you scale it and do so at your own risk. But if you do - please send pictures of the results.

Optional extras:

  1. Glue rubber feet to the bottom if you don't want it to slide around the table (or use sticky tack)
  2. Glue ~4mmx2mm magnets to the little holes pre-drilled 1. on the end of the stick and 2. at the spot where the stick meets the device when folded flat. (for better behaved storage).
