Elevated Laptop Cooling Stand - XPS 15

thingiverse

I wanted to elevate my laptop to open up some space on my desktop while also providing directed cooling to my XPS 15, which suffers from some thermal issues. I wanted to incline the laptop for two reasons, it looks better and the XPS lineup has the webcam close to the keyboard which can look very odd. V1 is flat V2 is inclined slightly ~10° Items required: 1x 80mm Fan (I used an 8010 12V one) 1x 12V USB Adaptor (If you have a 12V Fan) 1x DC barrel Connector (If you don't want to cut the connector off) 4x M3 Screws (6x if you use the Adaptor and cover piece) 2x M3 Threaded Inserts (If using the designed 12V cover piece) The prints requite no supports, the Upper Stand can be printed laying flat or on the top, either works, do this to support the printer. I printed both parts in a single print, as seen in StandV2.stl
