Car CD Phone holder ball joint

thingiverse

My dad bought a "stick on window" phone holder from the store to put on his car windshield, but he was unhappy with how much space it took up. He asked me to make him a better one that would fit snugly on his dashboard. I didn't want to start from scratch, so I decided to use the cradle that came with the phone holder and adapt it to fit onto a ball joint in this design that fits into most car CD players. To get started, I used part of a design I found online at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:576937 to create the CD player wedge, then added a ball joint to make it work with an 17mm socket. Once I'm done with the final product, I'll post pictures so you can see what it looks like in action.
