If you have a Retina MacBook 2015 (A1534) you will know that the hinges fail because of a deliberate bad design. This causes the screen to flop open and not stay up. There is no repair for this except a new screen.
These two little support brackets (one just one if you like) slide in from each side and will hold the screen solid in position at 120 degrees.
I used PLA at 15% infill which works just fine. If you are in the habit of picking your MacBook up by the screen then you may need something a bit stronger.
I am certainly no CAD expert and is a bit quick and dirty but they look and work just fine.
I have included the original Fusion 360 design file if any expert out there wants to improve my design or change the support angle.
