Firestand [laptop stand]

Space is a luxury in my small apartment, and even more so on my overcrowded work table. I created Firestand to hold my 13” MacBook Pro on top of my M-Audio FireWire 610 audio interface, It has helped me reclaim over 67 square inches of space on my desk (and, yes this is an accurate calculation of my space savings).

This is a DIY project that can be recreated using a laser cutter. All you need is a 12” x 24” piece of plexi (1/4“ thick), acrylic cement, and a few hours of spare time. Production files are available in Adobe Illustrator, svg, and dwg formats.
