Got a gaming laptop that heats up like a furnace during intense VR sessions or CAD work? I’ve got you covered! In this video, I’ll show you how I built a 3D Printable Dual-Use Laptop Stand that not only tackles overheating but also fits seamlessly into your workspace.

This stand offers two smart configurations:

Upright Mode: Perfect for keeping your laptop cool while using an external monitor.
Angled Mode: Elevate the back of your laptop to enhance airflow during heavy tasks like gaming or CAD, helping to prevent those dreaded thermal throttling issues.

But this video isn’t just about solving overheating—it's a full product development tutorial! Follow along as I take you through the entire process:

Conceptualizing the Design: Learn how to translate an idea into a functional product.
Iterating and Optimizing: See how the design evolves to meet practical needs, like improving airflow and ensuring portability.
Making It Printable: Discover the tweaks needed to make the stand fully 3D printable on any FDM printer—no supports required!

Join over 650 users who’ve already downloaded and printed this design, and see why it’s the perfect addition to any tech setup.
