An Upright iPad Stand

Our Elementary students use iPads to film with the green screen. They have been using various methods to hold the iPads upright for filming, because their covers hold them at an angle.

We designed a simple upright iPad stand in Blender, added "Learning Together" by adding text, extruding it, converting it to mesh, and then using it to do a boolean difference modifier on our stand.



It's not perfect: the section of the model that was at the front of the build plate by the door buckled up slightly. Out theory is that the plate is losing heat during the print process, so in the future we will use a cover on the printer to keep the heat in.

The stand works, and a little bit of blue tac makes it as stable as it needs to be.

What are your design ideas? We'd love to print them!
