The Impossible Laptop Stand v2 - Fits A1 Mini!
Print Profile(9)
Description
An updated version of this model is now available here!
Looks impossible? Think again!
Instantly elevate your bland office desk and get rid of your boring laptop risers and stands!
Watch your envious colleagues' jaws drop as they struggle to process a laptop floating in mid air!
Design has been tested with a 13" HP Elitebook and a 16" Macbook Pro. Most laptops should fit provided that the bottom half is not too thick. Works great with iPads and other tablets too, especially for looking at recipes in the kitchen!
This is an improved version of the original design with the following goals:
- Better stability - base of the model has been reworked to be much more stable with no load / loads of different sizes (phones, tablets, laptops, etc)
- Better grip - design now includes a printable TPU foot that fits in a cutout on the base (version with no foot is also available for folks that do not have TPU / do not wish to use it). No more sliding around the desk!
- Design rework - many of the sharp angles have been replaced with sweeping curves. While design is subjective, i think this makes for a much more elegant look overall
- Printable in one piece with no supports
- Fits on A1 Mini! - i dont have one to test on, but the model fits comfortably in the build area
Printing
Update 7 May 2024 - added faster print profiles as there seems to be some demand for them. would still recommend going for the original high quality profiles for a more seamless look, especially with matte / wood filaments.
The pictured model was printed with wood PLA, but any material should work. Use a heat resistant material if using in a hot environment.
- 4 walls
- 30% gyroid infill
- No supports required
I have found that the above is sufficent to produce a nice strong print. Increase the number of walls / infill at your discretion if you wish to add even more strength.
Do not change the print orientation! Model must be printed side down to maximize strength at stress points.
Assembly
Simply attach the rubber foot to the base of the model with superglue.
Happy printing! Share your makes!
