Coaster Phone Stand

thingiverse

Just another Phone Stand for mobile phone less than 10 mm thickness. Sorry, I am no fan of phone cases. This is a 90 mm diameter coaster which you can put your phone either portrait or landscape with two angles. If you love tea, coffee and movie, then you surely need to print more than one. If you want a flat surface then simply slice it and print with your slicer app. If you want a coarser surface like those in the pictures above, then you need to stop the print before it reach the full 16 mm or layer 80, somewhere between 70 to 78. There are several ways to do that : 1. "Stop print" menu at your printer when you see z=15. 2. Cura Slicer, Extensions > Post Processing > Modify G-Code > Add a script > Pause at height, set to pause at any height above 15 mm or above layer 70. 3. Open your G-Code with any text editor and delete layer 71 to the end of file. What I do: 1. Open Cura.exe 2. Load CoasterPS.stl 3. Pick an infill pattern I like 4. Click the "slice" button 5. Click the "preview" button 6. Scroll the layers to find the best infill pattern above layer 70 (let's say I pick 70) 7. Click the "save to disk" button 8. Open CoasterPS.gcode with Notepad (or any text editor) 9. Ctrl+F : find text : ";LAYER:71" 10. Ctrl+Shift+End : to select all the text from ;LAYER:71 until the end of file 11. Shift+ArrowUP : to deselect the end script until ;TIME_ELAPSED:xxxx...(around 30 lines from the end of file) because I want to keep the scripts that do retract filament, raise z, stop fan, cooling down hotend and bed, park the print head. 12. Delete the selected lines. 13. Ctrl+S : Save the file. 14. Move the file to MicroSD and print.
