Find the design on Printables: Wedge Laptop-stand by impulse1delta
It makes me feel uncomfortable to see the entire weight of the laptop held by just the bottom of the device. I assume it won’t damage it? But I still personally am not a fan of not having the whole device supported
edit - in summary, this seems like a terrible design
I’d be worried about something (perhaps unintentionally) applying torque at the top of the device.
The chassis/case is definitely not designed for that kind of load for extended periods of time.
Especially when it’s running hot… extended heat and bending forces just makes me nervous.
I love the concept though and doing something like this on the back hinge in a scenario where it’s docked but allowing it to be slight open like a clamshell would be cool.
You could more easily vent the heat, the “back” the laptop is pretty resilient as long as you’re sharing the weight with the bottom and top (not just the hinges)
It’s worrying for sure, but I think the PLA might give up earlier than the chassis. That said - you never know, it might still bend the laptop.
It looks like a plastic case too. I would love to see what it does when the enter key is bashed by a 100kg gorilla in a fit of rage.
My cat will take it as personal challenge to break it
You’ve created a simple laptop bending device. I would add a LOT more support to both areas where it contacts.
Can anyone explain to me the use cases and benefits of these types of stands that hold laptops at an angle?
I think it’s so you can set it on a desk, have the screen at eye level while using a connected keyboard and mouse.
this hurts me emotionally because it puts that machine at so much risk . terrible idea
