I call this the "impossible" Laptop and Tablet Holder because it cannot be manufactured by traditional methods. Don't worry, it's not impossible to print - in fact it is very easy.

Print this and hand it to a friend and ask them "how do you think this was assembled?" With the magic of 3d Printing of course!

Versions:

1. A 45 degree stand version "ImpossibleXlaptopHolder45D.STL"
2. A 35 degree stand version "ImpossibleXlaptopHolder35D.STL"
3. A 45 Degree smaller version for cellphones and small tablets "XCellPhoneHolderFolderAssem2.STL"

This is a simple folding laptop holder that fits most small (~13") to medium (~15") sized laptops. Scale up for bigger laptops.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to scale down since I used 0.4mm gaps to separate the two moving parts. Printing any smaller than that (from scaling down) and the parts would fuse together. I may make a smaller version for phones and tablets later.

I printed 3 of these without supports and all worked fine.

Printing instructions:
Use 0.4mm or smaller nozzle
Layers 0.1mm to 0.2mm
Infill: 20%
Shells: 3 to 4

Post printing:

1. Carefully snap the piece closed by placing it on a flat surface (table) and pressing the ends of the parts together - and be careful not to let it catch your skin (that happened to me ouch). Once you get that initial snap - the part will open and fold as intended. No assembly required
2. Optional: add rubber feet or sticky tack (poster tack) to the bottom to prevent sliding.
