Materials: $3 EKBY VALTER bracket, 1 dowel, 2 screws
Description:
1) Take Ekby Valter bracket and turn it upside down.
2) Remove bottom screw from Ekby, replace with longer screw, then screw dowel into same hole (make sure the dowel is screwed in so that it makes a deeper lip for iPad to sit on).
3) Screw in a horizontal dowel in the hole below, close enough to the surface, to act as a stabilizer.
4) Add rubber cushion things for traction (and to make sure that stabilizer actually touches the surface)

ReplyDeleteDear Ikea Hacker - I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend too. It's the 27th of Dec and I'm getting back to reading your blog. I can't build anything to save my life, but I love to see the cool ideas on your blog (including the IkeaPad Stand - which I could really use). I hope you have a New Year of peace, and can't wait to see the new ideas you'll show us in the coming year!

ReplyDeleteyou have the money to buy apple products but not the money for a proper stand?
ReplyDeleteI've looked and looked and still don't see any dowel.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this dowel? Better photo explanation please.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI think the point is that some people like to do things because they can, not just because they can't afford to buy something "better." And why don't you consider this stand to be "proper?" Only because it was not branded as an iPad stand?
Jules probably has the money to buy Apple products BECAUSE s/he makes things using common materials rather than unnecessarily spending wads of cash on things like iPad stands.
