Print-in-place Lenovo Yoga fold-out riser V2

Model Overview & Print Notes

EDIT: VERSION 2, much faster and easier to print, with a "live" hinge instead of a pin hinge. It also sits higher, folds lower and is wider. Printed in PLA. I might edit it to make it a bit stiffer since it bends after some use, though it does not affect the functionality. EDIT V2.1: as predicted, the part was too thin and deformed over the course of one month. The model and photos have been updated with the thickened model. Original text: A disadvantage of the Yoga laptops is that they sit very low on the surface, sometimes impeding the cooling. I wanted a riser that: can be folded and still allows the laptop to be converted to a tablet is stable and does not easily fold back flat has a wide base, not just two points of contact does not block any ports or require any long-term modifications. The "hinge" is fixed with double-side tape on a Lenovo Yoga C940. I reduced the angle on mine with a bit of hot-glue inside the hinge contact point, so that the laptop sits slightly higher. The pictures show the original angle.
