Folding Portable Cellphone Stand

cults3d

Updated Note: 02/09/22. I've added a Version 2 for thinner cases. Trying this with a friends phone with a thinner case caused the device to fall over as the center of gravity was too far back. While version 2 isn't as nice looking it stays closed because of the extra material. And I realized that I uploaded the wrong part. Also, I added a keyring hole to the hinged piece, for a lack of a better word to use. I tested this change using my Iphone 11 without any case. This is a stand for your cell phone that is small enough to fold it and to put in your pocket. I use it when I'm out and about and I want to watch a video and there is a flat surface to place it on. This is meant to hold the phone horizontally as the center of gravity would be too much to hold it vertically. I have an Iphone 11 with a thick case. This should accomodate phones with cases at least as thick as 15mm and possibly a lot more. Print time is 1 hour for the hinges and 5 minutes for the hinge pin. No supports are needed. I printed the pin vertically at very slow speeds ( 10mm/sec.) and lower temperatures on my filament, not that I know if the temperature mattered. Make sure that you have good adhesion when printing the pin as it will wobble while printing this way. Sorry, no pics of it in use as I can't hold my phone and take pictures at the same time. :)
