A developer shares their journey designing and 3D printing a custom ergonomic laptop setup to address nerve pain and portability issues. The post details four previous iterations, their problems (weight, setup time, durability), and the design process for a new PETG-printed solution using OpenSCAD. The current version weighs 280 grams, deploys in 15 seconds, features adjustable keyboard width with locking detents, and uses dovetail joints. Future improvements include adding accessory mounts, improving rigidity, and making the design modular for different keyboards and laptops.
