I designed this thing to place my laptop behind the monitor whilst still using the monitor arms.If the monitor does not have the vesa mount flush with the monitor surface you can use the spacer.
The position of the laptop monitor is not ideal for extended period of times. I only use the laptop monitor for short period of tmes every now and then.
- My main monitor is 28 inch and the laptop is 15.6 inch.
- You need to mirror the second part
I felt like it's worth mentioning the pros and cons I noticed after a couple of days of usage. I would strongly recommend reading it before deciding to print it.
Pros:
- You save plenty of space on your desk
- It's sort of adjustable. it has 2 positions. You can rise or lower the laptop by 2 cm
- I found the screen more accessible having it on top of the monitor because I use the big monitor and the side monitor a lot during my shift. I had to turn my head before I culd see anything on my laptop.
- I like the design. I think it looks cyber….truck…y
- It's super strong. Tthere is no way you can break it
- It's thick enough to hold the folded laptop.(At least mine)
Cons:
- It gets uncomfortable if you end up using the laptop monitor long enougn
- You can not limit she side to side movement
- Depending on your laptop size and weitht, arm(if any), monitor size, monitor leg, this method/position shifts the weight center enough so you have to tighten/constrain the arm/monitor leg adjustments.
- It requires plenty of filament and it takes over 12h for printing both
- You need longer screws… I estimate 5mm longer
- If your monitor tends to overheat(60C+), and you use pla, the material might deform as the heat will transfer to the screws. The worst it can happen is that the thing will get loose on one side more than on the other and the laptop might slide to the side
