Description

Ok this was my first design with a manufactured product embedded inside a printed part.
I was given a new laptop for work which was half the weight of my previous BUT not a tablet PC which would have been nice. Thankfully the new one had touch screen. So I designed this bracket to hold my laptop in place and can be put onto anything metal ie Fire Panel doors.

The magnet and strap are off eBay (type in 'Magnet strap for FLUKE) you'll need 2 (only one strap though)

I used 3M Mastic tape to go on the back of the magnets and anywhere that the laptop would touch the PLA (stop it moving and stop any scratches on the laptop)

I used Prusaslicer and did a colour change at a set height and then placed the rubber magnets in place and then started printing again. It worked first time.

The best way to print the Top and Bottom parts are on their side to get the best strength. 4x wall layers would be good.

I weight tested the setup.
1x Magnet held 1.6kg
2x Magnets held 3kg
2x Magnets with the 3M tape on them 5kg

I noticed the rubber coating on the magnets was more like plastic and it was slipping. The 3M tape is very rubbery so it now stops it slipping.

The Laptop is Dell Latitude 7490 so it will fit laptops that are similar size. I only really put this on here to give people an idea so they could make one to fit their laptop.

I've used this with only 1x magnet for over 2 months with no problems (without the 3M tape) but I found the loop part of the magnet was stretching a little too much and though it may break one day and I'd be in the need for a new laptop...lol

Hope this helps
