Model Overview & Print Notes
EDIT: VERSION 2, much faster and easier to print, with a "live" hinge instead of a pin hinge. It also sits higher, folds lower and is wider. Printed in PLA.
I might edit it to make it a bit stiffer since it bends after some use, though it does not affect the functionality.
EDIT V2.1: as predicted, the part was too thin and deformed over the course of one month. The model and photos have been updated with the thickened model.
Original text:
A disadvantage of the Yoga laptops is that they sit very low on the surface, sometimes impeding the cooling.
I wanted a riser that:
- can be folded and still allows the laptop to be converted to a tablet
- is stable and does not easily fold back flat
- has a wide base, not just two points of contact
- does not block any ports or require any long-term modifications.
The "hinge" is fixed with double-side tape on a Lenovo Yoga C940.
I reduced the angle on mine with a bit of hot-glue inside the hinge contact point, so that the laptop sits slightly higher. The pictures show the original angle.
