5. Folding Here is the final cut:

5. Folding
Folding the board is a little difficult. You can use a ruler to get straight folds:

I found the easiest way was to use the pointy 90deg edge of the desk. Fold all individual lines once till 90deg.

The folding needs to be done in steps, not at the same time, or else the board will tear. Fold 1:

Start folding all all the way 360deg. This will define them more.

Finally pinch all joints and then it will start taking shape. Start on one side and gradually add fold towards the other end.

It can be compressed really small and on releasing it will stay in its form.

Finally this is how the laptop-stand looks:

It can carry the weight of a laptop easily without bending and is pretty neat.

By adding some more into the ergonomics, I can make it bette for use.

For now, I learnt how to use a flatbed cutter and define settings to make something new. It is a very versatile tool - I would like to make some cardboard packaging or furniture or toys in the future.
