The making of a laptop stand.... The Nonstand
Posted on: 29.03.2012 by Floria Regoli
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





Unassembled looks like this, and de idea that this also havea small bag to keep it safe during transportation





This is the green rubber and black plastic version... to add some color and style to the stand





A version with some flashy graphics...





and of course a aluminum version wich looks super professional and sturdy...

Im gonna keep you updated on how is it goin with this DIY project... till then.... tell me what you believe!!!

Guy, if you sell this thing for 30 bucks and you ask DJTT if they want to make a blog post about it you're gonna sell a huge amount of stands!

aw, i'm working for a Architect, and i'm studying architecture and design, and you can't imagine how i like those mockups.
keep it up, can't wait for real pictures!!
smaller one, seems very good to me, maybe the taller yes, more skinny and like, trapezium structure?

anyway, i'll buy one of those.

Already working on that, tomorrow I have a prototype... Pictures coming and small video...

about the higher prototype:



works like this...



This is the mockup that Cionni want it... I still developing this to find weakpoints... for example i alreaddy notice that the legs of the stand gonna need a rib to keep them together steady... also i was changing my mind and instead of paralell legs, maybe do it look like a tree... anyway this is the other version i was working.

-----------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

I was going to the cutting service today but I catch a cold this past weekend and last evening was a horrible evening with fever, lots of cough and headache... but now im feeling much better so I delayed the visit to the cutting service for tomorrow thursday, to make a prototype on MDF wood.


About the lower version

- Added a new rib.
- More consistent structure.
- Small hangers in the front to make the laptop resto peacefully over the stand.
- Make it a little bit larger, the idea its to put over this a 14 to 15 inches laptop.



looks Sturdier than the original version and maybe its gonna be the second stage of the design process, anyway im gonna make both versions to see what works better and also convenient to do.


Also a question:

Somebody have a name for this?... I was believeing something like "Ribcage" or "Ribstand" or something proper to its morfology, but what you believe??? suggestions are welcome

16.04.2012

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?

can we have a mockup?
Floria Regoli
12.04.2012

its the idea les shakiness... more stability... and more useful to manage cables and stuff
Sally Walkowiak
02.04.2012

Update:

Right now im getting some estimates on laser cutting service...

Also i modified some pieces to make it sturdier....

Soon a prototype!!
Floria Regoli

sure its is a lil bit overegineered... im already developing a 2.0 version
Era Roka
02.04.2012
looks cool!

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...
