And how wide is the lap-top planned to be (from the left edge of thecase, to the right edge, across the key-board)?
you can check for yourself by downloading the GPLv3-licensed 3D CAD source code. https://www.youmagine.com/designs/libre-hardware-licensed-parametric-laptop-...
That page said "The parts are deliberately designed to be printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90 style 3D printer, so that even a 15.6in laptop may be created by printing the longest parts (260mm) across the diagonal of a Mendel90 print bed (280mm)." But I guess that 260 mm is not meant to span the whole back of the screen, considering things lower down on this message.
(I imagine that 15.6 inches is for the screen itself rather than the whole case, and is a diagonal measurement.)
the LCD is listed on the rhombus-tech page, from which the datasheet may be sourced, and there is approximately 2mm left and right, about 10mm top, about.... 25mm at the bottom.
that gives the overall dimensions.
Yes, the "youmagine"-page led to http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/news/ to http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/ to "AUO B156XTN02.2" for LCD, from which "duckduckgo" led to http://www.panelook.com/B156XTN02.2_AUO_15.6_LCM_parameter_15249.html which said "outline size of 359.3(W)×209.5(H)×5.5(D) mm" I did not get the "PDF"-data-sheet offered there, because I do not have login-credentials there. But the quoted numbers are probably correct, and are confirmed by http://www.lcd-source.com/Product_Specifications_AUO_B156XTN02.2
359.3 mm width of LCD, plus 2 mm on the left, plus 2 mm on the right, is 363.3 mm, or about
14.3 inches wide for the top part of the "clam-shell".
Thanks for the directing. That about answers my question.
