First things first: The dual color version can be printed with a single nozzle printer!
For this, some slicer manipulation is required. This technique is inspired by Devin Montes’ multicolor technique. For instructions see -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2AjyowXX4
First you have to decide if you want to print a dual or single color stand.
For the dual color version you'll need all STL's called "1 - ..." and "2 - ..." .
For the single color version you'll need all STL's called "Single_color...".
The STL's of the arms are the same for both versions. To get a multicolor arm, use the option "Change Filament" which is available in most slicers.
The laptop stand itself is completely foldable to A4 format.
The hinge off the arms are print-in-place, so no assembly is required!
It is really important to print the frame with PETG or CPE because it needs to be flexible to a certain point. ABS could work too but I have not tested it.
The hinges have really tight tolerances.
