Customizable Phone Holder

thingiverse

This phone holder can be customized to fit any phone and most cars. See section "How I designed this" for more information on how to customize. The version here is customized for the Samsung A70 inside its Samsung Flip Case, and for use in a Volkswagen Passat B8 Variant. I wanted to have the phone held in landscape mode, as this is most suited for my navigation purposes. And I didn't want to restrict on which side the phone was put in. For this reason I added openings for cable connections (charger, headphones) and added notches for the camera on both sides of the holder. I also wanted to have a phone holder that was NOT in front of a ventilation outlet because: - the changes in temperature are very bad for the phone battery - when driving, I value the ventilation a lot - cheaper printing material such as PLA could be affected by heat blowing directly at it So I chose to install the phone holder between the two front blowing ventilators of the passenger side. That part looks like a long ventilator outlet, but in fact most is just a grill that looks like one. I have made a remix of two Thingiversy things: - [VW Passat B8 Charging device holder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3955770) by [Behcet_Bozkurt](https://www.thingiverse.com/Behcet_Bozkurt) licensed [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). I have shrunk it a bit to fit between the two ventilator outlets at the passenger side. - [Ball and Socket Locking swivel components](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1785190) by [mistertech](https://www.thingiverse.com/mistertech/designs) licensed [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). I have angled it so I have more reach from the passenger side while driving.
