Nexus 7 stand (2013 edition)

thingiverse

I drew this "from scratch" based on pvl's original STL file, then made some modifications, mainly removing excess material and making the slot narrower to accommodate the 2013 version of the Nexus 7 which is much slimmer than the original. This version is also missing the Nexus logo, because I really didn't want to re-draw it, and it doesn't add any functionality. This thing works just fine, but it's definitely overkill even with the material I removed. The width could probably be reduced by ~25% or more and the depth (how far back the pointy support bit goes) could be reduced by a similar amount without making it unstable. Another change I would like to make is to change the angle so that the tablet leans back by an additional 5-10 degrees or so. My primary application for this is holding my tablet on the kitchen counter while it displays a recipe. Resting on the counter, this stand aims the tablet at someone who is very short, perhaps 5 feet tall, and I am almost 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, so a different angle would be a real improvement.
