Laptop stand and organizer

thingiverse

I got tired of having peripherals like hard drives scattered all over my desk, so sat down and designed this in Fusion 360 (be gentle - one of my first designs!). It is designed to hold a couple of 2 1/2" portable hard drives and a larger Le Cie Porsche drive in the bays underneath it. I printed this in PLA and is broken up to fit the bed of a Flashforge Creator Pro. Assemble using appropriate glue for the material you are working in. The lap top holder came from one I designed for the top of the Anet A8, so it has that capability as well. Of course, you will need to print two of those for either version. The drive bays are open on both ends to facilitate ventilation. TIP: Even when printing using PLA, it has a strong tendency to warp! The ONLY way I found to defeat that, is to print it on a raft with a bed temp of 75 degrees. Use a separation between the raft and part of .15. That let the print come out perfect without any warping and made the raft easy to remove while still keeping the part anchored to the bed. I HIGHLY recommend these settings, but you know your printer. Of course, because of the long throw across the top, supports are needed inside the part. Printed using Simplify 3D, 10% infill, 10% support fill. No support is needed for the Lap top rack itself.
