2-in-1 13" latop stand

During heavy work my laptop was getting hot. So I decided to print stand for it. While at it I also decided to make it both a stand for working and for storing it on my clustered desk. All I need is to flip the stand and I can place my laptop in slots to store it vertically. The stops preventing sliding are retractible, secured with flex arm.

Parts needed:

You have to print all files (duh!) and need those fasteners:
- 2x M3x20 mm screw socket head (DIN 912)
- 6x M3x10 mm screw socket head (DIN 912)
- 2x M3 self locking nut with nylon insert (DIN 985) - regular M3 nuts should work too
- 6x M3 heat set insert (Voron-like should do fine)

In this design I decided to use heat set inserts. You can use the same or change STEP file to use the one you have or to make the parts self-taping. All should work well.

How to print:

All 3MF files are ready-to-slice projects. You only have to the right filament you are using. I recommend using PETG for all parts. If you feel fancy you can try:
- flippers.3mf can be printed with ABS to make it even more durable
- flex_arm.3mf can be printed with nylon (for example PA12) or polipropylen (PP). Both should behave better then PETG

Assembly:

1. Insert all heat set inserts in supports using soldering iron.
2. Insert flex arm into corresponding leg (you might need to hammer it a little bit, I used biggest hex wrench and little force, DON'T BREAK IT!).
3. Insert flippers and fasten M3x20mm screws using locknuts.
4. Insert in place all supports and fasten them using M3x10mm screws. Mind that all supports are different.
5. That's all, you are ready to go!

TODO:

• Make all supports identical
• Add photos
• Upload version with self-tapping supports

Additional notes:

If you wonder why one have to flip the stand to use it's alter function - it is because I wanted to try my skills at designing such spring lock.
