BALS: Big A-- Laptop Stand

thingiverse

It was very difficult to find a stand that would hold my large 17" System 76 Kudu laptop with a lower half thickness of about 24 mm and weighing in at almost 7 lbs. The stand by dto26 just barely had enough of a lip to keep the laptop on the stand but any backward rotation would trigger collapse! I used Blender to extend the lip and also created a version without the three filled in triangles so I could print the thing without supports. In the large laptop version I extended the resting area to 23cm and decreased the internal angle on the lip. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.38mm Infill: Higher for more strength Notes: You'll need supports if printing the version with the filled in triangles but not the all open version. The first time through I experienced some bad curling. Enabling brim in Cura solved this perfectly.
