I have this one and the thing that sticks up pokes my wrist all day. I don't think a human tested it for any amount of time.

What else do people use stands for? Surly it's not to elevate the screen to eye level and still type on it? That's just awkward.
I personally use an mStand[0] by Rain Design. I was using a small cardbox box before that and my employer at the time gifted an mStand to me. The difference is night and day and it made me appreciate my MacBook's display much more even when it was connected to an external monitor. I also found myself using multiple (virtual) desktops so much more as well. If you're able to afford it, I really recommend shelling out t…

I just love how github ends up being blog, forum, wiki, disqus-clone etc. for us tech people. As for the stand I used this cheap ikea-hack: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c7/c9/a0/c7c9a072c328a3596186e1b71... (can't find the original post sry)
I don't know if I love that, but it has turned into all of those things indeed.

I actually dislike that fact very much. Oh, I don't disagree that github is that for so many users...and i can not disagree with the convenience of what github provides...I simply dislike that it is all controlled/owned by github...a single point of technical/infrastructure failure, and a single corporate entity where so much content (content beyond raw code, that is) is hosted...not unlike the facebook effect. I wis…
It would be easy to create a giant mirror of GitHub, for example (once you have a distributed storage system).
Also, GitHub doesn't control what users are viewing (unlike YouTube and Facebook), which makes the platform less of a threat to internet freedom.
I recently released a stand I made for my ThinkPad Yoga. It'd probably work for a Macbook too. They're very close in size. I like mine a little better because I can put the dock and cables under it. https://github.com/KeenRivals/ThinkPad-Yoga-Laptop-Stand
I'm curious, which 3D printer did you use?

Agreed it is confusing, the JPEG "is" the CAD file (although there is a DXF file as well) but laser cutters will often use a JPEG as the profile image. Here is my guess, you laser it out of acrylic, you slot the two large parts together to form an 'X' (looking down from the top) and you glue in the four wedges using solvent glue to stabilize the X shape of the two pieces.
> laser cutters will often use a JPEG as the profile image. Laser cutter operator here. Never heard of laser cutter, plasma cutter, or oxy cutter (our company has all three) accepting a JPG as the input file. I've spoken to two other local operators and they all require a DXF / DWG or some other type of NC (Numeric Code) file as input.

Which is daft because you can just cut another slot and shove a bit in at an angle to lock it — no glue needed. Also the CAD is useless unless you have the exact thickness of material to laser cut since you can't adjust the cut width. This could easily have been a clever script to generate an SVG to match your material thickness and laptop dimensions. This is submission is well below the bar for what I usually see on…
