    It makes me feel uncomfortable to see the entire weight of the laptop held by just the bottom of the device. I assume it won’t damage it? But I still personally am not a fan of not having the whole device supported

    edit - in summary, this seems like a terrible design

      I’d be worried about something (perhaps unintentionally) applying torque at the top of the device.

      It’s worrying for sure, but I think the PLA might give up earlier than the chassis. That said - you never know, it might still bend the laptop.

        Even if it doesn’t permanently bend the chassis or break it, the chassis might flex enough that you’d get some damage to the electronics.

      It looks like a plastic case too. I would love to see what it does when the enter key is bashed by a 100kg gorilla in a fit of rage.
