Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

@ Fake, was only kidding, would love a black one :)....

But who knows if you ever do get them on eBay,
try different colors who Knows ??

(have a hot pink hard case on my N900,
so that ought to be pink enough for this beautiful device :) .....)

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Wow. The black one loooks even better :D

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

or go over the top and get them spraypainted at an autoshop - all shiny ;)

cool concept (I am also very unsatisfied with the included kickstand what a throwback from the 800/810)

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I'll take 3.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

i want i awnt!
Wow... open source woodworking now too! (Well almost) hehe! :)

Very impressed!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Excellent - count me in for 2 as well..... just let me know when and paypal details (I am in the UK)

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Count me in for two. Let me know the details.

If acrylic/polycarbonate/plexiglas is an option - I'll hold out for the this higher priced option.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I will test an acrylic/plexiglas design (polycarbonate is impossible on the laser, creates highly toxic fumes), but not until I can afford a filter for the fumes. My neighbors complain about the smell of cutting acrylic, and so I'm not able to cut it in quantity. I will be the first to tell you when I get a filter.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Count me in too. I hope shipping to Bangkok isn't a problem (would be happy to fund extra shipping costs). PM when ready.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

i'm probably a bit late to the party but i'd love 2 aswell. i'm also in the uk..

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I'm interested in 2 acrylic/plexiglas stands (clear or colored)...let me know if it works out.

Great job! :)

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Very nice id be interested in trying one out.

Just making sure is the charging port easily accessable while the n900 sits on this stand?

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

what weve been missing!! i want one thanks

EDIT make it two :D

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I must say this is absolutely amazing. When you are up and ready i will definitely order like 3.

Good stuff.

Makes me love my n900 more.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Yes, it is easily accessible. This image should tell you what you want to know:

I did some experiments with black silicone rubber as a non-slip material for the base. It works very, very well. I just need to figure out the right way to apply it... 90% of the way there:

The big thing is to figure out how to apply the silicone rubber so it comes out smooth... without much work. I'll figure something out.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

this is a must for me ASAP, for filming N900 videos.. it will be perfect!

very nice work i must say!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Count me in for 2 :)
I'm in the UK btw.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I want one too! Looks great!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I want one.....put me on the list.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

the n900 has the stand from the N96

it was worse on the n96, was even more useless!!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I loved the tilt on the Nokia N97. Angle was just about right for me, and I loved the feel of the hinge when it snapped out. Much better than the unstable kickstand on the N90.

OP, your stand looks fabulous, btw. If there is any justice, it should be a hit!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

i did like the angle on the n97 also, but prefer the straight sliding keyboard of the n900.... cant have everything i guess

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I'll take two if there are any still available.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Can I have 2 shipped to Finland.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I will def take 2. Ship to Chicago please!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Wow, this accessory is great .. !! By when will you know the exact status regarding the acrylic based stands ? Also, are the ones you have made so made from wood or plastic ?

Lastly, I'm interested in one, and I live in Atlanta, GA, USA .. Would there be any shipping costs ? How will you be selling these ? eBay ?

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

You will be pleased to know that I just updated the main post with clear acrylic stands. They cost more than the wooden ones because they take more time on the laser cutter, and they cause problems with my neighbors. They will also cost me more to ship. However... they are AWESOME.

Also, acrylic models will not have a no-slip bottom, because it would mar their gorgeous finish. :)

The original 50 were made of wood, but I'm not selling those ones. I decided they were not good enough and started designing a 2nd batch based on feedback here in the comments. The second batch is much improved. The main post has been updated with pictures and details on this 2nd batch. The main improvements are that they are more stable, and more black. I am still trying to perfect an anti-slip coating for the bottom of these new wooden models.

As it says in the first post, shipping is included (unless you want some kind of overnight service or something - I'll be shipping at the lowest possible rate). This is absolutely guaranteed for domestic shipments. If for some reason international shipments go over $5/envelope I may have to ask for a dollar or two more. I don't think this will happen.

I am going to sell them directly here in the forum first. After everyone here is satisfied, I will list some on eBay. I'd rather sell them here and cut out the middleman.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I really like what you're doing with these. How well do the acrylic ones stay put on a desk?

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I just had a look at the acrylic ones, and you are right dude, they look awesome .. !! So congrats on doing a fine job in coming up with this .. don't be surprised if you start getting phone calls from companies who want to buy your product .. ;)

However, I do have to admit that the price is maybe a bit too much bro .. I mean I know its looks really good, but $17 for a stand is maybe a little high .. Can we just have the wooden ones or something .. ?

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Pretty well. I will make a comparison video for you as soon as I get the non-slip base worked out for the wood units (tomorrow, I hope).

I am no longer satisfied with the silicone rubber I was using -- after some testing I discovered it doesn't adhere to the wood as perfectly as I thought it did. I think another variety of silicone rubber will work well.

Off-topic:

If anyone wants to change their reserve from wood to acrylic or vice versa, no problem at all, post it here, but please, don't PM me yet. :) I will be watching everyone's reservations from this thread.

Remember that for now, I can only cut a limited number of acrylic ones each day, so ordering acrylic might cause a little delay. Not a big deal, but something to consider.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Of course! The wood ones are still available at the same price they were previously.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

People who get the acrylic ones could just set the stand on a small square of rubbery material.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

That's right. I'm going to see if I can find something that I can supply with them. But really, the surface area of the base that's contacting the desk is large enough that I don't think it's going to be a real problem.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

save me one acrylic(CA)... how are you going to sell this awesome thing and where?

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Two acrylic stands for me please, I am in the UK. Thanks.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

NICE JOB they look good, especially the acrylic.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Fake may i change my order from 2 wooden stands to 2 acrylic stands please as they look just WOW, they look so nice, its great to have your skill here on the forums :D
P.S. im also in the UK.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

Any discount for ordering one of each?
If not, I'll just take an acrylic one.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 

I will buy 2 acrylic ones. Please give me address to send the money. You want cash folded in paper to hide it or money order?
The non slip rubber strips for wood usually come with cubicle dressers that stack on top of each other. I have some and the rubber strips are almost perfect size for this.
I get paid Thursday.
