Car ashtray phone holder

thingiverse

This is a custom phone mount designed to fit snugly into the ashtray of a Lexus LS430, but can easily be modified to suit your individual needs. The base is crafted to slide under the metallic flange in the ashtray for secure support. To ensure a perfect fit, some sort of filler will be needed between the base and the front of the ashtray. A wedge is included in the design file, but it may need to be modified to fit properly. Alternatively, you can use a piece of cardboard or cloth to take up the extra space. The mount itself consists of three pieces: the base, a pedestal arm, and the phone holder. The pedestal arm slides into the base, and the holder snaps onto the top of the arm. The top part of the arm is angled backwards at 15 degrees for optimal stability. You may need to trim the arm slightly to fit perfectly, but I preferred a very snug fit to avoid any wobbling. The holder is designed specifically for my iPhone 6+ in its thick Speck case and features holes for various ports on the bottom. This design was printed all at once without rafts or supports and took just over three hours to complete. I used black ABS with a 10% infill, and created it entirely within Tinkercad.
