    Hello,

    Many of you are concern this stand could damage the laptop by bending it with the leverage force. It’s true that I didn’t consider this case when I designed it 🤔

    While trying it out, I didn’t feel like it would damage the laptop, unless something catastrophic would happened like an heavy object or a pet dropping on it, but it is a legitimate concern ! I might reconsider using it… I was wondering why this type of stand is common for phones but inexistant for laptops, well now I understand !

    Thank you all for the constructive feedback !

    It makes me feel uncomfortable to see the entire weight of the laptop held by just the bottom of the device. I assume it won’t damage it? But I still personally am not a fan of not having the whole device supported

    edit - in summary, this seems like a terrible design

      It’s worrying for sure, but I think the PLA might give up earlier than the chassis. That said - you never know, it might still bend the laptop.

        Even if it doesn’t permanently bend the chassis or break it, the chassis might flex enough that you’d get some damage to the electronics.
