Laser-cut DIY Laptop Stand + Bed Table
For the second week, we had to cut something on the vinylcutter and design, lasercut, and document a parametric construction kit, accounting for the lasercutter kerf, which can be assembled in multiple ways, and should include elements that aren't flat.
My friend was crouching over her laptop and working on a presentation, while I was reading about Apple's $1000 stand. This gave me idea to make a laptop stand out of inexpensive corrugated cardboard.
