I always like to travel with a small handy laptop wedge to prop it up when rendering (or gaming) on the road. But other wedges come in a pair and one always gets lost - or you need to fix them with rubber bands.
So I designed a pair of wedges that snap together and look cool while doing so. This now isnt just my laptop stand on the go but also my favorite fidgeting toy.
Please see the printing details for instructions!
Orientation: If printed with the spring part pointing upwards this needs no support. However it is more prone to breaking along the layer lines. So unless you print in a really strong material and have great layer bonding, print with the spring oriented horizontally for continous strands of material along the spring.
Sizing: The two parts should snap together easily but without too much play. There is a tight tolerance modeled into the file but every printer is different, so if you experience too tight of a fit, reprint the notched part at 99% size or less for a looser fit.
