My computer is more comfortable and better cooled when it is raised from the table, and less of a heating pad when it is raised from my legs. It originally came with a Moft style lifter which was destroyed when it had to go back for warranty repair. I went searching for replacements and found nothing, so I made what I wanted. I think it is pretty good.
My goals were:
1. Something wide enough to work on my lap.
2. Durable and reliable.
3. A linkage design to use tension and compression instead of bending to support the load.
3. Two distinct tilt angles.
4. Simple to print and assemble.
5. Thin enough not to be in the way.
The result is this model. It is a print in place. It is many times stronger than required to support a laptop.
I have been using the initial version for about 4 months including travelling, desktop and lap use. They function perfectly, easy to deploy and retract, and show no signs of wear or damage and I consider it a mature design. I have printed a few iterations, some are in use by others, and with my printer, material and filament properties it has had a 100% yield.
I am using QIDI PET-CF, with my own filament tune with a very good tune for overhangs and bridges. As with most print in place models, you will need to have a decently tuned printer and filament for it to print reliably. I have not printed with other materials so your mileage may vary.
