Many of you are concern this stand could damage the laptop by bending it with the leverage force. It’s true that I didn’t consider this case when I designed it 🤔
While trying it out, I didn’t feel like it would damage the laptop, unless something catastrophic would happened like an heavy object or a pet dropping on it, but it is a legitimate concern ! I might reconsider using it… I was wondering why this type of stand is common for phones but inexistant for laptops, well now I understand !
Thanks for being supportive. I didn’t take offense from any of the comments. I can handle a little bit of sarcasm 😅. Comments may be negative, but they are respectful and constructive, all is good.
I may have come across a bit strong? Apologies if so.
Some actual constructive feedback -
Some sort of underside support to hold the weight at the back
Potentially a joining bar between the two feet? It could be laptop size specific or even adjustable.
I haven’t got something to test it with, but when you put the stands on, is it awkward to get them to line up correctly? Could be a non issue though - I am just considering whether each time you want to use it you have to work out exactly where to put them? And an adjustable “bar” between them could keep the same position every time instead

Thank you all for the constructive feedback !
Redesign it and print a new one
I think you could keep the basic design but add a pillar to support the back edge at the mid point and substantially reduce the risk.
Yes, I am thinking about something like that now. I will try to come up with a solution that still allows to be easy to print all in one batch.
Don’t let the feedback here get you down. Some of the comments are overly negative; you’ve got the start of a cool stand going, keep it up.
