Description

I'm not gonna ask for a coffee, but please make sure you give me a like if you find this model useful. My kids need space on their desks and a cool idea was to store their laptops under the table plate. I have found several models on Printables, but finally decided to made my own, since I had a few limitations: tableplates are from IKEA, made of pressed cardboard, so risky to use just a few thin screws (need several more screws to be sure laptops don't fall) laptops should be charged while under desk (charging port must not be covered) laptops have several dongles stucked into USB (USB ports must not be covered) So, I built some brackets that fulfill those requirements. Printed in PETG, 5 perimeters and 30% infill, they are stable as hell :) You need 12 screws , I used M4 x 12mm , but any other similar screws will do. The brackets are available in three lengths (178mm, 198mm and 238mm) and five openings (20mm, 23mm, 25mm, 28mm and 31mm). Printing: Even the longest bracket can be printed on a 200mm bed. They can be printed in many orientations without supports. I printed them standing, as in the pictures, in PETG. If you have adhesion problems, maybe printing with a brim is not a bad idea ;) The second bracket is not available here because you need to mirror it in your slicer! Here the green barcket is exactly the gray one mirrored along the Y axis: 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media BEWARE: When choosing the width make sure you select a bracket at least 2-3mm wider than your laptop height, measured at the thickest place (don't forget feet, thicker batteries etc.)!
