About this model

We had a MacBook stolen at work. It was actually recovered by the police, BUT the person had broken the hinges, I assume when they could not get around the encryption(or just because). It was more expensive to replace the parts then the three year old laptop was worth, but we still hated to part it out(not many you can on these ether). SO I wiped up this little support so we could still use it. It's locked in at 120 degrees and designed for the 13" early 2015 MacBook Pro. BUT maybe someone can use it, or modify it to their liking or needs. Holes are for nylon 3mm screws, but really not needed. Good Luck! *note picture is of an earlier version without holes and supports.
