Post Print Instructions
[EDIT 20200918] I added a new version 2 of the design that prints the front "toes" horizontally with hinges so everything is more compact when folded and the laptop weight force is now perpendicular to the layers.
[EDIT 20230501] I added a new version 4.2 of the design that changes the central hinge to something easier to print, as well as including 1st layer bed adhesion … pads? … for the small initial footprint print-in-place parts (red in following image).
[EDIT 20230509] I added a new (final?) version 4.4 of the design that changes the horizontal hinges to hexagons for max 45 degree overhangs & larger contact surface to the build plate. As well, I've enlarged/changed the vertical hinges to also increase their contact surface to the build plate.
