This is a riser? I don't know what it is but I do know what it does since I designed it. It is a HP G4 dock mod that will redirect your thunder bolt cable so that it comes out the back instead of the front. I really didn't like how the cable was in the front and took up space so I designed this to make not only my desk clean but make the dock look clean as well.
You will need 2 non printable parts but I will provide them in the list below:
- Non Slip Self Adhesive Silicone (4 x 4 inch's should be good): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806946025820.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.74.59511802cri2bf&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
- 180° USBC adapter (10Gbps should be good): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXCTRN7F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
For the 180° adapter, I had to sand down one end so that it would fit in the dock since there is not much clearance. I also did not choose the best adapter for this but it works. If you find a better adapter let me know!
For printing I did no supports but if you want a tighter fit with the dock I recommend supports. I haven't tested it out yet to see if it will fit but be my guest :D.
For the Non Slip silicone I just cut out a 4"x4" section (101.6mm x 101.6mm), peeled of the sticker and stuck it on the bottom of the print. I then took a knife and trimmed the edges and middle of the print. Surprisingly this stuff is easy to cut.
I printed out of PLA and it seems to do well despite the high temps. I feel like this is a really niche thing to design and print but it helped me learn onshape more. Let me know if you have any recommendations on how I can make this better!
