Laptop Footstand

Laptop Footstand

Designed these feet to hold my laptop at a level height with my external monitors, saving some neck strain and improving airflow. I have a smaller printer buildplate, and needed a smaller solution than other laptop stands around.

Two considerations for these parts: maximum laptop open-angle and laptop thickness. Shown in these pictures are my personal laptop, which measures 0.5″ with a limited open angle, and so the feet are oriented for a 60degree angle. Your results may vary, so I’ve included four configurations:

0.55inch opening, 60degree angle
0.55inch opening, 70degree angle
0.70inch opening, 60degree angle
0.70inch opening, 70degree angle

To protect your desk, I recommend self-adhesive felt on the underside of the feet.
