Minimalist Laptop Cooling Stand Frame (40 DEGREES) 15.6 inch and Smaller
My own version of Makeronline's Laptop Cooling Stand, I made this version with several changes in mind:
1: For it to take much less time.
2: For it to take much less filament.
3: To adjust the positioning of the fans to allow for the laptop's built in cooling systems to be unobstructed during use.
For the first and second points, I went will a minimalist design to not only use up less filament, but also to be printed in mostly one piece. This means that there is very little support used, and with my profile, the frame can be printed in about 3h & 30m on the S1. Now because I had to fit the frame on the S1's 250mmx250mm build plate, that does mean that I needed to give this stand a bit on a steep, 40 degree angle. This does discourage T-Rex posture, but typing for extended periods is mildly uncomfortable. I will try to address this in future iterations.
For the third, I noticed that the fan blocks were placed underneath the left and right sides of my laptop, around where the cooling vents were. While the cell design does allow for some air to past through, the block still partially blocked the vents. I also noticed that, due to my LOQ's cooling system, the majority of heat actually was in the center of the laptop, rather than the sides. Because of that, for this stand, I moved the fan blocks to the center of the computer. As a side note, this uses the same fan blocks that the official laptop stand does; I have them included in the 3mf, but you can use your own settings if you've already printed it.
Because there are still a few pieces, there is some assembly, however, it is much simpler and easier than the official version.
Renders have been made detailing the instructions in the Documentation tab.
The steep angle is currently un-adjustable, but I will attempt to change that if I make a future iteration. That depends on how well received this version is.
I recommend printing this in PETG, ideally some form of PETG Pro, because there is some slight bending required in assembly, and I suspect that PLA would be too stiff and too fragile to handle it.
