Dual-Angle Laptop Stand

Hi! In this instructable I'll show you how to make a quick & robust laptop stand. I designed it to fit alongside an external screen and a separate keyboard & mouse set, so that the laptop itself behaves as the secondary screen in a dual-screen setup.

This instructable may be the shortest one I've ever posted, and I hope you enjoy!

I hope you follow along and enjoy this project, and if you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to reply!

Plywood of your favorite kind (I used a 40x40 cm^2 6mm poplar plywood) & a laser cutter.

For those who prefer a quick video about the project, here's the whole thing in less than 60 seconds!

Simply cut out the attached SVG drawing on your laser cutter. The file contains 2 side faces and 5 horizontal connectors.

I used an xTool D1 10W diode laser using these settings: power: 90%, 6.5 mm/sec, passes: 3, kerf: 0.09mm.

Insert the horizontal connectors into one of the side faces (1st & 2nd images).

Press the second side face into place (3rd image).

That's it :) Place your laptop in the dedicated slot on one of the sides of the laptop stand, and enjoy your new setup!

I hope this project inspires you to make something of your own! And if you end up making a laptop stand like this one, I'd love to see your version in the "I Made It" section below :) Also -
