iPhone 6 & 7 In Car Holder (Jaguar X-Type)

thingiverse

I needed a custom iPhone holder for my car that met all of my needs. The design I found online at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:609134 seemed promising but had some major flaws. My 2004 Jaguar X-type required significant modifications, so I reworked every aspect of the original design to make it fit perfectly in my vehicle. As you can see from the photos, this new version still provides easy access to all heater controls and the AC LCD screen, while blocking off the CD player controls - which aren't necessary since the holder mounts directly in the CD slot. The 3-part design consists of a CD bracket, an iPhone cradle, and a lowering arm. Due to my printing bed's limited size, I had to split each part into two separate pieces: left and right for all components except the lowering arm, which remains symmetrical and only requires two prints. One area that needs improvement is the CD tray section, which doesn't fit perfectly and can become loose on bumpy roads. If you have any suggestions for how to fix this issue or would like to remix the design, feel free to share your ideas.
