Small Minimal Laptop Stand: One Size Fits All

This is a minimal laptop stand design that can be used for any size laptop, and also can be carried anywhere you go.

3D printer - Zortrax M200 Plus

Flament - ABS 1.75mm

Silicone Tape

Scissors

Needlenose Pliers (if needed)

Flathead Screwdriver (if needed)

Keep in mind the maximum dimensions your 3D printer can print. I had to scale it 0.99.

After printing the model, the fillers must be taken out. This can be done by hand, however, the back part (the taller side) is better taken out by pliers. I had tried to take them out by hand and broke the filler in half making it harder to take out. I was later able to lever it off with a flathead screwdriver.

Then cut the silicone tape to fit the middle indented parts and place it. The one I had is a two-sided sticky one. I hadn't taken off the side that will touch the laptop, even this way the sides stick and hold the laptop. You can also use a one-sided one, the friction will also hold it and keep it from sliding. Either way to use the laptop's front has to touch the table.

In the photo, you can see my 16" laptop which is roughly 3kg, and a 14" laptop little over 2 kg. I have also tried a 17" laptop that's almost 3,5kg and a 13" MacBook. There was no bending on the corner parts of the stand. It's very sturdy.

This laptop stand design was made and published for the Open Design course in the Middle East Technical University Industrial Design Master's Program. Feel free to download and use!
