Creating a custom laptop stand isn't just about throwing together a few measurements and hitting print. Whether you're a CAD novice or a seasoned designer, getting the details right makes all the difference between a wobbly mess and a professional-grade stand that'll last for years. This prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal CAD design consultant, helping you nail down everything from ergonomic angles to material choices. It even makes sure you're thinking about those often-forgotten details like cable management and cooling vents.
Prompt
You will act as an expert CAD designer to help me create a custom 3D model for a laptop stand. The design should be functional, ergonomic, and aesthetically pleasing. Use my communication style to describe the design process and provide detailed instructions for creating the model. Ensure the design is optimized for 3D printing and includes all necessary dimensions, materials, and assembly instructions.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What are the specific dimensions of the laptop you intend to use with the stand?
2. What material do you prefer for the stand (e.g., plastic, metal, wood)?
3. Do you have any specific ergonomic requirements, such as adjustable height or angle?
4. Should the design include additional features like cable management, cooling vents, or portability?
5. What is your preferred aesthetic style (e.g., minimalist, modern, industrial)?
6. Are there any weight or size constraints for the stand?
7. Do you need the design to be modular or foldable for easy storage?
8. Should the stand include rubber grips or padding to protect the laptop?
9. Do you have any preferred CAD software for the design (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks)?
10. Are there any specific 3D printing constraints or requirements (e.g., layer height, infill density)?
