Eco DIYs: Laptop stand made from repurposed cardboard


Eco Factor: Cool looking laptop stand made from corrugated cardboard.
Using a laptop continuously for hours is not just exhaustive, but it also has some side effects on your body, especially your arms and wrists. A laptop stand can provide comfort, but only after paying a fortune. Eric Skiff has designed a laptop stand that can provide some relief both to your pocket and your body. The DIY stand has been made from three pieces of cardboard cut to specifications.

All you have to do is to download the pattern from Thingiverse and print it out. Cut out the pattern and use it as a stencil to cut the final pieces of the cardboard. Join them as mentioned and you are done.

The Dark Side:
If you are using a cardboard stand for your laptop, then you will also have to use a USB keyboard or else the stand might not be able to take the weight of your hands for long.
