Thanks for being supportive. I didn’t take offense from any of the comments. I can handle a little bit of sarcasm 😅. Comments may be negative, but they are respectful and constructive, all is good.
I may have come across a bit strong? Apologies if so.
Some actual constructive feedback -
Some sort of underside support to hold the weight at the back
Potentially a joining bar between the two feet? It could be laptop size specific or even adjustable.
I haven’t got something to test it with, but when you put the stands on, is it awkward to get them to line up correctly? Could be a non issue though - I am just considering whether each time you want to use it you have to work out exactly where to put them? And an adjustable “bar” between them could keep the same position every time instead
A lot of the ones they sell have hinges. So what if you keep the base and then create something that slips in through a circular hole in the back and says by locking on to the side (like it slides in like those magician puzzles that lock at certain angles instead of something that’s just straight and pokes in). Then have it be something that can pivot up and down and rest at the bar right below where you have your laptop held - but can be lifted up to help support its body. But when you lift your laptop they just pop back down because of gravity.
Just an idea kicking around the old brain bin because of how those pre-made ones are made. But tbh - my cardboard one is pretty close to yours >.>!
I think you could keep the basic design but add a pillar to support the back edge at the mid point and substantially reduce the risk.
Yes, I am thinking about something like that now. I will try to come up with a solution that still allows to be easy to print all in one batch.
Don’t let the feedback here get you down. Some of the comments are overly negative; you’ve got the start of a cool stand going, keep it up.
