There are lots of laptops stands designed so you can elevate the laptop and/or its screen, e.g. to use as a second screen to an external monitor. This stand was to address the problem where the laptop requires ventilation but needs to stay close to the level of the desk, especially if the lid is closed e.g. when placed under a monitor stand.
The 4 degree incline of the stand provides sufficient airflow clearance while not markedly increasing the laptop height. Bumps on the front edge of the stand prevent the laptop from sliding off.
The standard stands will fit a larger laptop such as a Macbook pro, while the small stands are not as deep, and suitable for 14" laptops.
Print parts A and B and they will snap together (no glue required). Note: be careful when removing from the bed and removing the supports inside the small cut-outs in stand A as the outer edges of the cutouts can break easily.
The model is best printed on its back (i.e. with the feet facing up) to reduce the amount of support required.
