Description

This is a stand for holding your tablet computer at a nice angle in portrait or landscape mode. I designed it for a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet but it also works for a iPad 2.

Instructions

As show in the photo and models, this was printed with the stand on one side so it is very tall and skinny. I printed it on a Maker bot Replicator. It printed without a raft. The bed was set at 110c. The stand took all day to print, about 7 hours. With the 10% infill, it looked like a strange cross section of a bone. I printed it in the white ABS that came with the new printer. As printed, it is 5 inches tall (wide). Everything worked fine except it developed a crack in the back along the layers. The crack goes about halfway through but did not break the stand. You could get around this by taking the SketchUp profile and only extruding it 2 inches and printing two of these. I suspect it cracked because the previous layer cooled to much before the next layer was added. I did the shell with a layer setting of 2. It warped slightly off the bed but completed the print successfully. I am including the Sketchup Model as printed and also the original profile in SketchUp in case you want to mod it before extruding to your desired height.
