So we designed a desktop stand and wanted to have a modeling video showing the entire process in hopes that there’ll be people who’d want to follow the steps and build something similar. The video is there and it’s over an hour long 
This is a complete parametric build. The last 20 minutes are the part we think is quite useful: we change the screen size and the model breaks. Overlapping fillets, missing references, a sketch that lost its geometry. We go through fixing it with History Break, step by step, including the dead ends.

The article is available here: How to design a parametric laptop stand for 3D printing
And the model parts can be downloaded from our Printables page: https://www.printables.com/model/1839122-parametric-laptop-stand
If you’ve got your own way of structuring parametric models, or you’d have done any of this differently, let us know. The file’s there if you want to poke at it.
You can buy M threads easily through the US Amazon. For 3d printers not everything needs to be 100% 3d printed to make it valid.
