DIY: PVC Laptop Stand ver.// 2
Do you member my laptop stand ver. 1.0? Well, here comes the better, more beautiful version 2.0. Moreover, here is also a DIY step-by-step tutorial on to do it yourself! :)
Step 1:
Get the necessary materials:
Some Tee and Elbow joints
Two 32cm tubes, four 26cm tubes, two 6cm tubes (these lengths are for my FJS Amilo Pa1510 laptop; other laptop sizes may and most probably will vary). Note: all tubes are 3/4” so that usb cables can go trough the tubes.
Some decoration
Jute rope
Step 2:
Proceed to assemblying the tubes and the joints. At the end it should look like this:
Step 3:
Get an USB cable. We will put it inside the back of the pipes so that we can easily connect peripheral devices to the laptop.
Step 4:
Look at the back of one of the sides. We will slip the cable beneath and put it into the tubes.
Use a driller to make a small hole/space for the space at the bottom of the pipe (see the photo above) so that when the laptop stand is put on a desk, the cable doesn’t intefere with the proper balance of the stand.
Step 5:
Begin entangling the jute rope around the tubes. After that attach the decoration to the stand. I used hot glue gun with silicon to stick the different ornaments. At the end it should look something like this:
Attach with a tiny piece of rope the USB connector to the side of the stand like this:
Step 6:
You are done! :) Here is the ready-made laptop stand:
Enjoy! :)
