Available now for free to my Patreon supporters! I'm always leaving my traditional camera gear at home these days because smartphone photography is so amazing. That's why I wish I had some way to prop up my phone for time lapses, long exposures, and of course selfies. And that's exactly what this does! Plus, it works as a desk stand for watching stuff. The goal here was to create a phone stand the size of a credit card, only 3mm thick, that could hold up my phone for such tasks. Something I could print lots of, and a design I could easily carry in my wallet or stick on my phone without giving it another thought. And so, here we are! This stand has built-in hinges despite being incredibly thin, so it prints assembled and ready to go. Just fold the sides up and in (the hinges stop at 115 degrees from horizontal), and put your phone in either the vertical or angled slot. And, you'll have noticed that I included a bunch of hexagons there just to make it look cooler!
