--- Why ---
Nothing met my needs exactly, so this is my version of a laptop riser. I wanted a riser that pushed the screen higher and was a single piece.
--- What ---
This is modular, use or don't use whatever you want. Includes files to accommodate large or small print beds. My CR-10 can print the whole pieces, but for my Ender 3 friends I've broken out the parts to be able to be printed with less real estate and assembled after. The assembled pieces are a tight fit in purpose. I had to set then on a flat surface and press down with a book or something to push them together fully. That being said, included are tighter and loser key options.
By default the pieces are oriented to print so that FDM printed layer lines are in their optimal strength patterns. The long ways print lines relieve single point of pressure break points.
Can be printed with or without the riser insert designs. I have included a hexagon option since they are the bestagons. Have also included a blank insert so that when printed if top/bottom layer lines are set to zero the infill patterns with show through. By tinkering with that pattern type and density users can create some fun and unique designs themselves. See the picture of my settings for my infill design one if you want inspiration.
Have fun with the colors and options! Would love to see pictures.
Which files are right for you? Hopefully the descriptions below help you choose which ones meet your needs:
If a file has "x2" in the name it needs to be printed twice. I believe that the bountiful images will help if there is doubt on which pieces go where.
The side inserts are optional decorative pieces:
- optional-blank-insert-print-x2.stl
- optional-honeycomb-insert-print-x2.stl
If a person has a larger print bed, like my CR-10, they can print the following files to minimize assembly:
- large-bed-bottom-bar-whole.stl
- large-bed-front-bar-whole.stl
- large-bed-riser-side-whole-print-x2.stl
- large-bed-top-bar-whole.stl
If a person has a smaller print bed, such as an Ender 3, they can print the following files and assemble them:
- support-bar-bottom-half-print-x2.stl
- support-bar-front-half-print-x2.stl
- support-bar-top-half-print-x2.stl
- riser-1-of-3-print-x2.stl
- riser-2-of-3-print-x2.stl
- riser-3-of-3-print-x2.stl
If a smaller print bed, a person will also need to print connection keys for assembling the support bars. I have added two different key sizes depending on how accurate their printer is. A person can print one in 15 min and try, then print the rest after picking the one that works:
- looser-key-bottom-bar-0-2-mm-print-x2.stl
- looser-key-front-bar-0-2-mm-print-x1.stl
- looser-key-top-bar-0-2-mm-print-x2.stl
or
- tighter-key-bottom-bar-0-15-mm-print-x2.stl
- tighter-key-front-bar-0-15-mm-print-x1.stl
- tighter-key-top-bar-0-15-mm-print-x2.stl
