Magnetic chicken foot phone stand

myminifactory

This is a versatile phone stand/holder featuring a flexible arm and magnetic fingers that can be bent, twisted, and positioned to suit your needs. Whether you're watching a movie, capturing videos, or using it as a makeshift magnifying lens, this holder is designed for flexibility. It can be placed on a table or stuck onto a metal plate, giving you the freedom to position it however you want. To customize the design, there's a SCAD file available that allows you to tweak various parameters to fit your specific requirements. The arm itself is sturdy and capable of holding most phones in place, but make sure to adjust the foot's width and magnetic strength to ensure optimal support. The arm features four holes where steel wires have been inserted; these should be printed using flexible filament for added durability. Be mindful when creating these holes, as they need to be slightly larger than the wire itself to facilitate easy insertion. This phone stand/holder is designed to accommodate various phone sizes, including Samsung S4 models, and can even be adapted for use with tablets if desired. For enhanced stability, consider widening, lengthening, or increasing the size of the "fingers" on the holder's foot. To ensure that the magnets function properly, make sure they are embedded within the domes at the finger tips, and that these domes are large enough to accommodate them. Prior to printing the top side of the domes, you'll need to insert the magnets.
