Properly positioning  a person's tablet can make the difference between their success or failure in using an AAC app.  The app needs to be positioned so that it can easily be viewed and accessed. Many of the most popular tablet cases don't have a built-in stand.  Instead, they rely on a bendable handle to lift the tablet off of a horizontal surface.

To address this problem, we've created a customizable, 3D-printable, tablet stand that can be securely attached to the case, and deployed by a child using only one hand. The hinge includes "stops" to limit the open position to 60 degrees from the back of the tablet.

The hinge pin is printed in place. It is nicely tight in the beginning but will loosen in time and that's why I've included a Velcro "dot" at the end of the stand.

Note, this designer is a "hijacked" version of the Parametric Hinge (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2187167) by Rohin Gosling.
