iPhone Stand (larger connector openings)

thingiverse

A sleek remix of Alessandro9's stand now boasts enlarged oval holes designed specifically to accommodate larger charging cables featuring strain relief, allowing for a more secure and stable connection. The opening width has been increased to 9mm from its original 6mm, providing ample room for thicker cables that could previously get stuck. This redesign ensures seamless compatibility with the Apple supplied cable while also accommodating larger options. The headphone cable hole has been transformed into an oval shape measuring 8mm in diameter, making it easier to thread through the stand. Additionally, the home button hole has been enlarged and shaped like an oval to accommodate a thumb from the side, simulating a more realistic usage scenario where users tend to press buttons with their thumbs. This upgraded stand is designed to fit snugly around iPhone 6, 7, 8, and XR models, even when sporting thin cases. The redesigned features provide improved usability and convenience for daily phone handling. For those who want to repurpose the headphone hole, a second file has been made available that duplicates the design, turning it into useful ports for speakers on the bottom of the phone. This innovation opens up new possibilities for mobile speaker setups. To explore this creative project in more detail, visit the Thingiverse page at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:938372.
