Stand for a laptop with your own hands

In the style of high-tech. Stand for a laptop with your hands from a plastic pipe

You will need standard parts of the finest sewer pipe (32 mm in diameter): a straight knee (6 pcs.), A clutch and 2 short spigots. Assemble the stand by attaching the parts to each other in this order: a knee, branch pipe, 2 elbows at an angle to each other. Two of these structures are created, after which they are combined into one using a coupling. The finished stand in the frontal projection resembles the letter "P", and from the end - a strongly elongated "Z". Open parts of the knees should look upwards, and the sleeve is the back and bottom part, the main supporting point of the structure. The computer is placed on a stand, thereby improving the camera angle, cooling is more efficient, and in the tube holes, you can store stationery that is often in use.

Stand for a laptop with your own hands from plywood or corrugated cardboard

For such a craft, you will need to first make a stencil. It looks like a pair of side pieces of a rectangular or triangular shape and a crossbar on which the laptop is mounted. The elements are fastened to each other by means of grooves and protrusions, the slots being located on the end parts. In disassembled form, the stand fits in a laptop bag and can be carried with you.

Sidewalls do not have to look clumsy - the rectangle is just the foundation that can be modernized to your liking: round the corners, cut out any pattern. This applies, of course, to the variant of plywood - more durable and decorative. Quickly, the notebook stand with its own hands can be made from the most ordinary packaging cardboard. The limit of the life of such a device is one and a half months, but the process of creating it is simple, and the material is easy to obtain free of charge.

You can use even more "lazy" way: the notebook stand with your own hands is made of a flat cardboard box, the wide side of which coincides in size or exceeds the size of the device. Suitable packaging from the gift of a book of a large format. In order to provide better cooling, it is possible to cut openings in the material. For some models, this may not be enough, if the computer is hot, you can use the method below.

Stand for notebook with self-cooling

The basis for this product will be a tray for paper from transparent plastic format A4. For active cooling, you will need a cooler (up to 4 pieces, depending on the intensity of the laptop's heating) with fasteners, USB AB wire. In addition, a screwdriver, a marker, a cutter and an electrical tape are useful.

To begin with, the box shows the places where the coolers are installed, the holes for the screws are fused with a soldering iron or a nail, heated on a gas stove. Cooling devices are screwed into place, and above them in the plastic are created slots for air circulation. Cut better with a sharp knife, hot on fire. Some irregularities and roughnesses are corrected after the plastic has cooled with a sharp cutter or fine sandpaper.

Coolers need to cut off the connectors. Now prepare the cable: select the desired length and cut the wire. Since there should be a plug on its end, look for "+" (usually red wire) and "ground" (most often black), connect them to the USB power wires and isolate. It only remains to connect the supply to the laptop and forget about the possible overheating and related problems.
