Custom laptop cooler stand

This is a laptop cooler stand that you can parametrize to your needs. The design was inspired by Carlo Franciscone's laptop cooler stand on Thingiverse.

Since we wanted a larger and inclined version we took some time after work to create an editable version. This object should be printed with a flexible (TPE) plastic, You also can use this as collar for yourself or your dog

This thing was made with BlocksCAD (but the code was lost) and exported to OpenScad

Alternatively, download the SCAD file and adjust parameters or use the Customizer. The STL files to download are just examples.

Print Settings

Resolution:

0.2 mm or larger

Infill: 

30

Filament:
Any TPE 
 

Notes: 

We printed this with soft PLA which is easy to print if your extruder sit on top of the hot end. 0.2mm layers, 40mm/s and 220 degs.

Printing with very flexible TPE is always a bit difficult. The main tips are: (1) Print very slowly, (2) print it hot, (3) use some extra extrusion. If you use Ninja Flex or similar, we also suggest printing fat layers (e.g. 2.5mm is perfectly fine since a print with very flexible plastic will not look very smooth anyhow) and 30mm/s.

The default object is fairly large, i.e. 25cm. On most printers you will have to print this diagonally. We repeat: You can customize this object, either use the customizer here, download the openscad file, or import the xml file to blockscad.
