The making of a laptop stand… The Nonstand

I was wandering to make a super easy to use laptop stand wich let me pass the cables under my laptop and keep it far away from spilled drinks… also portability its a must and the “easy to assembly” factor needs to be a priority…

So in a moment of enlightment I remember that I have a degree on architecture and design… and this is what I get… The Nonstand

This are the 3d images of the project so when i get a prototype im gonna update it.

The idea its a ribbed structure with hinges for easy assembly, its a ribbed structure to let you laptop fans breath and also have some rubber parts to keep your laptop on its place, the holes on the ribs allow you to pass through the cables of your usb stuff a

Nice mate, really.
I was only hoping for an higher version :slight_smile:

really dig it. This is one of the most elegant ideas I’ve seen for a laptop stand, and to me it looks a lot less shaky and more stable than conventional ones. Would love to see a real, tangible, completed version.

Looks really nice - bit over-engineered, though? You could just buy 2 coolballs to allow cables to pass under the lappy, and allow for cooling/rising above any spilages…

looks cool!

sure its is a lil bit overegineered… im already developing a 2.0 version

Update:

Right now im getting some estimates on laser cutting service…

Also i modified some pieces to make it sturdier…

Soon a prototype!!

I would buy one of these.

11

its the idea les shakiness… more stability… and more useful to manage cables and stuff

12

already send this to build a prototype… so in the next week ill be updating this thread!!!

13

can we have a mockup?

14

Keep me posted as well, I’d be interested in this

15

I really want this.

16

Dude. Get a kickstarter. Make this. It’s a great idea.

i’m assuming you can probably cut most of it out using a laser?

17

actually it is and the estimated cost is here… in few days more ill be updating this thread with pics of the cutting process and some picture of the final prototype… and maybe a video performing with this thing… keep on track fellas

18

i cant use kickstarter because im from outside usa

19

dont worry if this goes well im gonna make a few to share with you guys
