Just updated this under desk mount I designed for my Apple MacBook charger. I like the aesthetic of this design but I’m still not happy with the print quality because of the need for supports, and the overhangs of the curved base can be a challenge.
For my next revision I want to redesign the vents and mount points to minimize and overhangs and reduce/eliminate the need for supports.

Looks great! I don’t use a Macbook anymore or I’d test it out.
Are you printing in PLA? I have really been enjoying PETG for mounting things as it is a lot less brittle. It will flex a lot more before it breaks
I used PLA for this one as that’s what I generally use. I’ve used PETG for a couple of items for outdoor use. Good point on it being less brittle.
I really enjoy printing PETG as well. In fact for a while when I finally got my MK4 all I was printing in was PETG so I could whip up the parts for the lack enclosure. It’s so far been pretty forgiving to print with.
Plus I like hearing the pops come from the part when it separates itself from the build plate as it cools down.
