Flat-fold Phone Stand Slim

thingiverse

This is a slim foldable stand for your smartphone. It fits most smartphones that are no thicker than 9mm. Feel free to ask for a wider model in the comments section if this one doesn't work for you. You can also use the Fusion360 project file to edit this thing yourself. The stand has five angles: twenty degrees, thirty-seven degrees, forty-eight degrees, fifty-five degrees, and sixty degrees. **Be careful!** This model requires a precisely tuned 3D printer since it contains quite a lot of small moving parts and deals with tolerances. Please use the file 'phone_stand_slim_without_label.stl' which prints all the parts pre-assembled. For more information please check the Print Settings and Post-Printing sections! The original design comes from [this model](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:608339) and the idea of notch hinges is taken from [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2903058). However, these models are unreasonably thick when folded. The original design was complemented by the following: * It's twice as thin when folded! * Several hinges allow to reduce backlash in between moving parts. * Legs were moved as low as possible. * Original size is increased (from 60x50 to 80x50) in order to make stand more stable when smartphone is placed vertically. The stand is still smaller than a credit card. * Rack stoppers became more robust and now have their own housings in the opposite plate. * Different plates and rack have different thicknesses for better load distribution. * Last rack stopper became also a latch, which prevents holder from unintended opening. Please find Fusion 360 project and STEP-file in _src.zip_. _parts.zip_ contains separated parts in case you want to modify them. However, **it is barely possible to assemble this stand from separate parts!**
