Laptop Riser

I was experiencing overheating issues with my personal laptop, so I decided to address the issue with some 3D printing. There are several laptop risers in the market, some of them even with built-in coolers. But why would I buy something if I can create it on my own and have fun in the process? Specially in a rainy winter weekend with not much else to do.

I remember I saw somewhere online a minimal design for this but for a macbook, but heck it’s a simple thing, so I did it from scratch. Another source of inspiration was the cosito de la pizza or pizza saver, one of our proud inventions among argentinians.

I designed it with Autodesk Fusion 360 and used a Ender 3 Pro for printing the models and white PETG.

Btw, it was kinda tailor made for my Lenovo Thinkpad E460, but if you want you can download the .step or .stl files for this.
