My computer is very old and constantly overheats, this easy to make laptop stand helps with cooling and viewing angles as an extra. Perfect for work stuff and media consumption.

Supplies

1 Carboard box or a piece of cardboard
Sisccors
A pen or sharpie
Your computer ( to measure the distance )

Step 1: Cardboard

Grab a small to medium box or piece of cardboard (I used a huge box but it is not really necessary), and unfold the sides in order to have a flat piece of cardboard.

Step 2: Measuring and Drawing

Grab your laptop and measure the distance you have to cover. Make sure the top end of your diagonal line meets with a bend in the box or create one.You can also measure before hand and just draw the diagonal line with a ruler but it is faster this way.

After you draw your first diagonal line draw a triangle like shape with a bump at the end to hold the laptop and mirror the drawing on the other side of the crease. (Like in the image)

Step 3: Cutting

After you cut your initial drawing following the lines, you then need to cut a rectangle (aprox. 20cm in length and 10 in heigth), then in that rectangle cut some slots to insert the triangles in the second step. ( make sure your slots are big enough to fit the width of the cardboard). It will be assembled like the image shows.
