Computer Stand Project - 15 Degrees Sleek Design

15 degrees computer stand

As laptops become essential for school, coding, and everyday productivity, maintaining a comfortable and ergonomic workspace is more important than ever. Many users experience neck strain and poor posture from looking down at their screens for long periods of time. To solve this problem, I designed a minimal, 3D-printable laptop stand specifically for a MacBook Pro.

This project focuses on simplicity, functionality, and accessibility. The stand elevates the laptop to a more natural viewing angle while maintaining stability and airflow to prevent overheating. It is designed to be easy to model in CAD and practical to print using PLA, making it ideal for beginners in engineering or 3D design.

Whether you're learning CAD, exploring 3D printing, or just looking to improve your workspace, this project offers a straightforward and rewarding build with real-world use.

1. PLA filament (recommended for easy printing and prototyping)
2. 3D printer (Prusa Mini)
3. CAD software (Fusion 360, Tinkercad, or any beginner-friendly program)
4. Slicing software (Cura, PrusaSlicer, etc.)
5. Laptop (for measuring dimensions and testing fit — designed for MacBook Pro)
6. Ruler or calipers (for accurate measurements)
7. Sandpaper (optional, for smoothing edges)
8. Rubber pads or adhesive feet (optional, for grip and stability)

Cad on Fusion360. Use the sketch and extrude features in order to draw two triangles and extrude to create the prism. Extrude smaller versions to make the holes.

Here is a completed stl file for printing or replication in fusion 360 is wanted. This is made in millimeters and is sturdy and reliable.
