Lazzzor Cut Laptop Stand

The other day while hacking at the Resistor space, I realized I was getting a crick in my neck sitting hunched over at my laptop. I needed some sort of laptop stand to get the screen up higher, and one that I could get my external keyboard under so my computer wasn’t too far away. I’d never seen exactly what I was looking for, so I figured I’d whip one up!

A little while later, with some help from Inkscape and our Lazzzor, I had this laptop stand. I’m putting it up on Etsy to see if anyone else is interested in having their own.

This recycled cardboard model goes for $8 and is sold 100% in support of the laser. Support your local hackers! Acrylic and wood models are coming soon. View the listing & more pictures

    This is soooooo awesome. I’m probably going to pick one up to replace my old plastic iCurve.

    I like it!

    Tell me you are making these out of old Club Mate boxes.

    Ooh.

    I think the cardboard would bug me, but wood or acrylic would be awesome. Be sure to post to the blog when it’s available!

    Looks really awesome!
    I like the way you make cardboard look elegant.
    But the front edges look too flimsy; maybe you should make the a little bigger.

    I absolutely love it!

    I think it is a really elegant solution and I now I want access to a Lazzzor.

    DIY The Better Looking Cardboard Laptop Stand…

    We recently showed you how to make your own laptop cooler using only cardboard and a salvaged fan from an old PC. The only trouble is that it looked kind of bad and was a fire hazard if you’d use……
